Live site now gives this error: Table 'policeLoungeXX.smf_settings' doesn't exist

Are all your database have the prefix of smf_ inside the database?

And does the smf_settings table exist in your database after it was imported?

They do have the smf_ prefix but I see no settings table. Only 18 tables are in there now

Hmm hopefully your backup file is complete. Open the backfile in notepad and see if it ends with a smf_topics table it should be in that file.
If the backup file was made from SMF it could be incomplete

That looks perfect.
Yeah now just grab the large upgrade package to upgrade your site.

Do I upload the zip file in the forum root, and extract it there?

vbgamer45

Or just upload the contents of zip file to the forum root. Make sure it is the large upgrade package for 2.0.13

Downloaded (smf_2-0-13_upgrade) and Uploaded ZIP to root file and extracted there, overwriting files and folders, and still not wanting to work. :(

Man I appreciate the help. Not sure what to do from here.

Got file from here: https://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_2-0-13_upgrade.zip

Download and upload the repair settings tool
What is repair_settings.php?

We are going to change paths on your web host.
Mainly make sure all file paths start with /home/content/23/12305423/html/POLICE/lounge/

Getting these 2 error messages when i open the repair_settings.php;

   
Notice: Undefined index: database_error in /home/content/23/12305423/html/POLICE/lounge/Sources/Subs-Db-mysql.php on line 594

Fatal error: Call to undefined function allowedTo() in /home/content/23/12305423/html/POLICE/lounge/Sources/Subs-Db-mysql.php on line 595


Here is those lines in that file:


$context['error_title'] = $txt['database_error'];
if (allowedTo('admin_forum'))




vbgamer45

Hmm open your settings.php file and make sure the file paths start with  /home/content/23/12305423/html/POLICE/lounge/
I would do the same with the smf_themes table and smf_settings table if the repair settings tool doesn't work.

As well as the settings.php file. That direct URL is correct there too

vbgamer45

Strange do you have it working now? I can visit your site. Checked upgrade.php says missing file from sources/Subs-Db-mysql.php

Nahh, I went in and deleted those lines and got it to work, but no categories showed. Send me your paypal email and I'll send you some money. Maybe we can work on it tomorrow and I'll hook you up with more money ;) I feel like we are getting close.

You're not going to be able to upgrade directly from 1.1.8 -> 2.0.15.  You'll have to up to 1.1.21, then to 2.0.15, and it will require juggling php versions to do it.  Doesn't help that you're on GoDaddy. :P

ANSWER HERE:

OK here is what I did and it works;  (Using Godaddy Hosting)

1. I installed fresh version of 2.0.13 SMF using PHP version 5.0
2. I then logged into myphpadmin and dumped all the tables associated with forum database. (65 total table files in this install)
3. Using Godaddy, I opened MySQL in the control panel of my hosting site and found my database associated to my new forum.
4. I then clicked the "actions" button by this database and selected "Restore". It asked me to select my backup, and I found the old SQL file for this forum (4 years old) and installed it.
5. I then uploaded the 1.1.12 Large Upgrade zip file into the new forums root directory and extracted the contents there using Godaddys File Manger.
6. I then opened the Upgrade PHP in my web browser associated to this forum and followed the instructions. After 5 seconds it was done.
7. The upgrade php file then will delete all the upgrade files you dont need, you can then click to see the forum. WOW! FINALLY! It works again!
