Problem with admin zone

[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?

Get this:

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

and install it via Package manager.

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

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.

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

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.
