Problem with admin zone

[Victorinyang1]

I have a problem with my admin page. It doesn't show everything. It doesn't show things like news / newsletters, bords, post and topics,, and so on.

Are you sure you're an admin?!? How did you set your site up? Any mods installed? Are there other admins who might have changed your status? I'm pretty sure this isn't a bug, but I'll leave it here for now until you can provide further information.

I installed the site today usin auto installer from my domain. I am the only admin in my site.

Who's your host, Victor?

The problem with a lof of these "One click install" things, is that they're often offering out of date versions of SMF, as I'm sure Mashby will confirm.

Can I make a suggestion?

How do you feel about installing it properly?

Have a look at this:

http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Installing

It's actually a lot easier than it looks.

It's so easy, in fact, that even I can do it!

[Victorinyang1]

I know how to install smf. Ave done it before

[Victorinyang1]

But after installing it, i updated it to SMF 2.0.2. Hope you have seen the pix

[mashby]

Mind providing a link to your site?

[Victorinyang1]

My site is earthsurf.vipfree.com

[kat]

That link redirects me to a pr0n site...

[Victorinyang1]

I mean earthsurf.vipfree.us

[kat]

If you switch to the SMF default theme, can you see the admin stuff, then?

[Victorinyang1]

No i see only some admin section especiall administrative center

[kat]

Curious...

Might be worth you trying this:

http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php

Can you ask your host if you have full ownership of the files on your site? Whilst you're at it, you might ask them to check that mod_security is DISabled, too.

[Victorinyang1]

Let me try it

Installed any mods?

[Victorinyang1]

I think it is from my database. I wanted to install simple portal it said that i am using database 2.0.1 that i should upgrade to database 2.0.2. How can i upgrade my database?

[kat]

Get this:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/downloads/smf_patch_2.0.2.tar.gz

and install it via Package manager.

[Victorinyang1]

Ave installed it

[kat]

Portal installs, now?

[Victorinyang1]

Tells me Error Installing package. Where can i get the Smf 2.0.2 cos i want to install a fresh Smf

[Victorinyang1]

After installing a new Smf, is it possible to restore my settings, packages and boreds fron the old one to the new one

[kat]

It would probably have been easier to do that, rather than installing from scratch.

From your old site's CPanel>backups, you can backup both the database and the forum (Home directory).

To move them to another domain, just go to the new site's CPanel>Backups and restore them.

After you've done that, you'll need this:

http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php

to put the paths, etc. right.

[Victorinyang1]

If restore, will i still have the same problem am having with admin section

[kat]

I really don't know and I have no way of knowing, either, I'm afraid.

If you back up your new forum, before doing what I suggested, if it doesn't work, you can always restore what you have, now.

As long as the old forum is the same version as your new one, you can just import the database, if you want to. That'll give you your members, posts, etc. But, none of your mods, etc.

[Victorinyang1]

Ok. Thanks

[kat]

My pleasure!
