SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC2
Hello all,
I had a double whammy today. I had some major trouble with the files on my server and lost the files for my forum. I had backed up my attachments file and also my database, but had to reinstall the smf program. I did so in the same folder on my server space and was able to go through set up again with no problem--and got a blank forum. It appears that I also managed to somehow delete that database from my ISP, so I had to create a new database to put the backup into (this resulted in a new number for that database, but I linked the new forum to that correct database.
The problem is that when I reloaded my backed up database and then checked my forum, all I got was a white screen that said: Unknown column 'a.attachmentType' in 'field list'
Looking at the database, I can see that everything is there--I have the member list, etc., but obviously I can't get the forum to show anything. Any ideas?
The url is: http://www.eslweb.org/resources
My sincere thanks for any help you can give this dunderhead!
it seems to be fine for me
Index page is working for me but im gettin adif error im getting
Unknown column 'b.permission_mode' in 'field list'
Hello all,
Actually, I've just noticed that everything is showing up when I look at the forum as a guest, but it only gives me that "Unknown column 'a.attachmentType' in 'field list'" message when I attempt to log in or if I try to go anywhere beyond the main page. Any ideas?
Reupload the upgrade package and make sure you overwrite all of the files. After that run upgrade.php.
Jay and sloopz,
You guys are awesome--the fix worked!
My eternal appreciation.

Glad to hear you got it working. :)

but I had version 1.0.7 , and I decided to move my forum to 1.1rc2 because for that version is avaliable affilate mod :)
and when I upload database from 1.0.7 to 1.1rc2 I see "Unknown column 'a.attachmentType' in 'field list'"

I really don't understand it! I haven't changed manually anything..
Download the whole upgrade package and overwrite your forum files. Then run upgrade.php
Upgrade Guide (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=6832.0)
yes, but I decided to change directory..
earliest version is avaliable on .../smf/ (1.0.7) and I want to move it to .../forum/ (and I installed 1.1rc2)
Have I to install in ../forum/ 1.0.7 version ,upload database and than upgrade with pack from "download" (http://www.simplemachines.org/download/)?
Or have I to upgrade 1.1rc2 through 1.1rc2 upgrade pack forum "download" ? It seems to be stupid for me, but I have some problems with foreign languages :)
sorry for it :)
Ok get the upgrade pack and overwrite the files on smf. Run the upgrade after that rename smf to forum. Once you rename use repait_settings.php to fix your path.
What is repair_settings.php? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=18096.0)
ok.. I'll do it :)
thanks for help :)
If something doesn't work , I'll write here :)
