How to remove PortaMX Mod and having a clean forum without any Mods

As here are also many users who used SMF2.019 previously,
I wanted to know,
how I can remove all MODs from SMF 2.019,

especially  PortaMX Portal Mod.

I tried uploading the SMF 2.019 Upgrade package by extracting all files
and started it from a subdirectory, then it ran through almost to the end
until it said, all files have been updated , but then at the end came an error...
as it said somehow loadxxx...


also with repaiir-settings.php I could not fix it by deleting all the hooks...
and verifying all the right adress folder links were okay....


and now when I call up my domain there is always an error with the PortaMX Portal being not
valid for the DSGO or something like this...

I have to lookup and post the error messages again

Could I just fix it if I remove all the PortaMX tables from the database with PHPMYADMIN ?
Is this enough to remove all the PortaMX portal Mod functions from my forum ?


Or do I need also to modify any other PHP files somehow ??

Many thanks.

P.S: I had SMF 2.015 installed and wanted to update it to SMF 2.019

but there were some parser errors listed , but I did the updates anyway...
So now it is broken and as the PortaMX Mod is no longer updated and Felines PortaMX Domain has gone,
I would rather install SimplePortal oder TinyPortal..

Large upgrade and deleting the hooks should do it.

I would also delete .htacess file if that exists as well

Here are the error messages;
Now it says, when I call up my domain:


Call to undefined function pmx_checkECL_Cookie()


And the SMF Upgrade Utility
says:


    Step 4: Database Changes
    Step 5: Delete Upgrade

So it seems it has done all the steps necessary, but  when I continue it says:
at step5:


Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function pmx_checkECL_Cookie() in /www/htdocs/xxxx/yyyyy/Sources/Load.php:425 Stack trace: #0 /www/htdocs/xxxx/yyyyy/smf219/upgrade.php(132): loadUserSettings() #1 {main} thrown in /www/htdocs/xxxx/yyyyy/Sources/Load.php on line 425


So it seems it can not remove the installation files at the end or somethingg like this..

How can I fix this manually ??

Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

Many thanks vbgamer45,

.htaccess In which directory ? In the root directory or in the SMF219 subdirectory ?

Okay, I tried renaming .htacess in the root directory of the domain
and it has thrown the same error at the end...
and in my smf219 subdirecory, where I uploaded the bigupgrade files from SMF 2.019 was no .htacess

Seems to have something to do with this DSGO European law Cookie settings..
Maybe I should clear my cookies on my Firefox and try again ??

hartiberlin

The error is:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function pmx_checkECL_Cookie() in /www/htdocs/xxxx/yyyyy/Sources/Load.php:425 Stack trace: #0 /www/htdocs/xxxx/yyyyy/smf219/upgrade.php(132): loadUserSettings() #1 {main} thrown in /www/htdocs/xxxx/yyyyy/Sources/Load.php on line 425

If I clear out all the tables from the database beginning with "pmx"
can that fix it with phpmyadmin ?
or where is this annoying cookie being set ??


vbgamer45

domain itself.  You could remove them. But I still think it is some hook there that is stuck...
