ìNot on my computer, can't do much with this crappy touchscreen, but your host may have upgraded to php 7.4. Go into cpanel, see if you have option to select php version, downgrade to 7.2.

Get the host to disable their faulty, ridiculous and unreliable ModSecurity, or find a new host.

The strange thing is, that this sites listed above is not working only when i am logged out. When someone is logged in all links and pages works as usually

Anything in the error log (both SMF and hosting account)?

You may have the option to disable mod_security in cPanel -> Security.

Update: by now I've made downgrade to script 2.15 and everything works fine

Title: Re: White board on Index but other sites works ok

Update: I've just upload a newest SMF script and also created a new DB uploud backup of current DB to the server and ... its the some :(

Have no idea :(

PS. And I have also a lot of "engl" directories and IDN why

It's loading normally now.

Post by: a10 on July 27, 2020, 04:31:39 AM

^^^ It's on 2.0.15

What I'd do if .17 update troubles persist is to keep .15 running as it is ftm, set up a complete and working copy of the files\db somewhere on the server (or even other host). Do the .17 update \ research \ experiments there. Then when all fixed, implement solution to the live forum.

The problem is, I've just upload newest, clean SMF script and made a copy od DB and ... its the same. Index not working but all other sites works ok. Index works also ok, after login

Does clean .17 install load normally with new (empty) database?

Clean installation works ok, so do You think that problem is inside DB?

Title: Re: White board on Index but other sites works ok
Post by: Arantor on July 27, 2020, 01:00:39 PM

I think we're back to your mods being at fault rather than the content of the database...

Post by: Sir Osis of Liver on July 27, 2020, 01:16:45 PM

If I understand correctly, he's either connected clean install to prod db or imported dump to new install, in either case problem seems to be caused by db, probably by a mod. Usual solution is to upload clean files but that won't work here. Would have to uninstall mods from prod install, starting with most recent.

ok, lets me to be clear:
1. Clean, newes SMF script + clean DB = works ok
2. Clean, newes SMF script + old DB (backup) = do not work
3. Old 2.15 script + clean DB = works ok
4. Old 2.15 script + old DB (backup) = do not work

Add: I have delete all mods and still the same :(

some news: seems to be working. I have just change language from polish to English and everything works ...

How it can be?

Title: Re: White board on Index but other sites works ok
Post by: Sir Osis of Liver on July 27, 2020, 09:56:23 PM

Doesn't appear to be any way to uninstall a language in ACP, you would have to manually remove the language files, but don't think that would help. Try reinstalling polish language pack in Admin -> Languages -> Add Language.

Having the same issue since I moved all the data to a new database.

A blank page if the user is not logged in.
It works if I go directly to a sub forum or to a topic.
It works if I am logged in.
It works if I disable that users can browse the forum (you are forced to log in or register).

I am using Norwegian UTF-8 as default language. If I change to English (and the users can choose language) it works.

Using .17.

So my workaround is now to have English as the default language and let the users choose language they want.

Have you tried running 'repair_settings.php.? It's possible the paths in the old database are not going where they should be

I was changing language to English and that's it. Trying to upload new language file do not help.

I was upload new script 2.17, connect it to old DB and once again set UTF-8 to DB .... by now its working

Thank You guys for all suggestions and help

First, make a copy of DB.

Set language to English and press button to convert all DB to UTF-8 - in my case I think there was a problem here
