Error when trying to import database to new host

[peps1]

do you have language files that are not updated? the copyright year for 2.0.10 should show up as 2014 not 2013.

I don't know how to check that, but would assume they would be as everything was just overwritten smf_2-0-10_upgrade

is your path to the default theme correct when you ran repair_settings.php?

There was no box asking for path to the default theme, just these ones:



(put all the files on the root now, rather then in a /folders directory to see if that would help.....but no.

below that should have a similar section with fields to correct for themes... i dont know why it would be missing.

because you have to SAVE the first time and the RE-RUN repair_settings.php to update the themes and some of the other fields

Unfortunately we have seen this happening some times with "strange" themes configurations. That's why you don't see themes settings, your database settings for themes are kinda borked.
We could never understand how does it get to that situation, but you probably have no default theme folder or you don't have a theme with ID = 1.

You need to edit upgrade.php and add this code:

Code Select Expand

//Lets overwrite the theme data because it can be wrong...
global $modSettings, $upcontext, $boarddir, $boardurl;
if (!isset($modSettings['theme_dir']) || (isset($modSettings['theme_dir']) && !file_exists($modSettings['theme_dir'] . '/languages/Install.' . $upcontext['language'] . '.php'))) //Wrong themes dir. Duh!
{
$modSettings['theme_dir'] = $boarddir . '/Themes/default';
$modSettings['images_url'] = $boardurl . 'Themes/default/images';
$modSettings['theme_url'] = $boardurl . 'Themes/default';
}

To the function loadEssentialData (add the code at the end of the function)

Then run repair_settings when the upgrade finishes (because this code will a temporary fix, not inside the database)
