SMF 2.1.x Support / Re: Migrated to PostgreSQL and then errors when upgrading to 2.1 RC2

« Last post by kenk2005 on Today at 11:51:46 AM »

Yes, am running PostgreSQL 11. It's good it's being supported; it is a popular and powerful database. I appreciate the developers here took the time to add it in.

Thank you for helping me with this; all seems to be good now - no more casting in the code - all looks good! I put in the other functions and the operators - I think some were in there already not all.

Thank you, albertlast! I converted fully!

SMF 2.1.x Support / Re: Many errors post update to RC2

« Last post by PoML on Today at 11:41:06 AM »

I managed to get rid of the errors  popping up in the log by simply going into the admin=>forum=>smileys settings and make sure all settings were set to simple defaults for all users.  Also the paths settings for some reason were wrong.  Afterwards the errors disappeared.

Maybe it is just some bug in the upgrader.

SMF 2.0.x Support / Re: Importing Database Backup Error

« Last post by Yellowrose on Today at 11:21:04 AM »

ok just to clarify what I had done before getting that error....a lot of the above was trying to restore old databases to an install of the newer smf version so of course it hung and gave errors so walked away from it for a few days as I was getting frustrated. Yesterday I started from scratch...went and downloaded from the archives a full install version of 2.0.10. uploaded all the files it installed fine and I got the notice in admin to upgrade the forum but wanted to wait till I had the database backup installed first. well ran the import and it said it went fine 100% complete so checked the site ...only I was member and there were no messages which told me the backup didn't import right so having the database I needed in the list of databases installed from when everything was restored a few weeks ago went and backed up each table individually and the imported them. Went to check the site to make sure messages and members were all showing and got that error so having installed 2.0.10 from a full install package which upgrade package should I use to upgrade the databases I'd like to be sure everything is there before doing the upgrade to 2.0.15 as I am having issues now the the 3 sites I did upgrade yesterday with smf cannot connect to the database errors. so needless to say frustration is setting in again. I have never since first installing smf in 2006 had so many problems with installs and upgrades as I have had this time around.

First of all, if you have not made a backup of the database, make one now. And as mentioned above by Illori, you must make the backups yourself and do not rely on your host.

That being said, I opened your forum and the stats for topics and posts appear to be 0. When I clciked at the last post link, I got the guests not allowed message error. WHat happens if you click that link, does it take you to the post?

In your op you mentioned that you get a blank page error when trying to run the maintenance tools. Is there any error logged in the error log of the acp?

All one can do at this point is guess. If you can pm me access to your cpanel and forum admin I can take a look for you and see what is going on.

Thanks. I just pulled down a backup of the database. The site is way too large (over 10gb) for me to pull down right a full backup right now. I'm limited to a tethered connection from my phone at the moment.

If I click those links it comes back with this error:
An Error Has Occurred!
The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

I do not see any errors in the log in the acp.

I'll shoot you a PM, thanks for the offer.

run the maintenance tasks to find the repair any errors and recount all forum totals and statistics.

you should also learn how to do your own backup's and do them frequently.

I've tried running the maintenance tasks. It brings up a blank screen.

I should do more frequent backups than I do. I have one, but it is over a year old.

well, additional problem now -- if you have installed twice, you probably have duplicated code.

original problem -- did you receive any errors on registration?
