anyone know how to make this error go away?

Hi, Im a dumb racecar driver and know almost nothing about this computer stuff. I recently added a smf forum to my website, and then through mysql php manager moved my old forum files to my new forum. I added a shoutbox and now have this error code in the shoutbox area. shoutbox works fine just has this displayed. I just uploaded the forum yesterday so its  the newest version.1.11.11? thanks

Notice: Undefined index: smfVersion in D:\Hosting\5698432\html\Forum\Sources\Load.php(1733) : eval()'d code on line 629

o.O Hang on a minute.

Do you have access to phpMyAdmin on your host?

[redneck racer]

I do have php admin...yes

[Arantor]

Go into the database for your forum and take a look at the settings table. It might be called smf_settings within the database.

Tell me how many rows it has.

[redneck racer]

188 rows?

[redneck racer]

my old db has 197 and my new one has 188....is that my issue

[Arantor]

Sort of, yeah.

OK, from that table, select the Insert tab. We're gonna insert a new row

You'll see two big white boxes, the top row has a heading on the left of 'variable', the bottom row has a heading on the left of 'value'. What the error you're seeing is saying is that it can't find a 'variable' called 'smfVersion' and thus can't find its matching 'value'. So we're going to fix that.

In the first (very large) white box (with the 'variable' heading on the left), enter:

Code Select Expand

smfVersion

In the second (very large) white box directly under it, enter:

Code Select Expand

1.1.11

Then press [Go] directly underneath that and let me know what it says.

[redneck racer]

it said this:

SQL query:
INSERT INTO `red1005206525899`.`smf_settings` (
`variable` ,
`value`
)
VALUES (
'smfVersion', '1.1.11'

[Arantor]

That's successful.

Now go back to your forum and do what you were doing before.

[redneck racer]

SWEET!  thanks....yep error is gone.  You rock!

[Arantor]

Glad to hear that solves it

That's something I've learnt!


Nice one, Arantor!

Kat: Basically, if it's complaining about something like that, it's a $modSetting variable that it *should* always have and never expects to be empty. By checking the table size first, I was satisfied that the table wasn't randomly empty (which would have been Bad), so then it's just a case of refilling the value it's supposed to have.

I ought to brush-up on db stuff...
