Can't access to admin board sections after update to 2.0.17

[meylodie]

<sigh>  It's upgrade.php, not update.php.

yes right. upgrade.php it is. And didn't help either.

reverting will not help.
IIRC, we did not change the IPv6 code between 2.0.15 and 2.0.17 -- so, the change must've come from your host at just about the same time that you upgraded.


there are really only two solutions.
1- disable IPv6 at the host
2- install the IPv6 mod -- since you can't do it automatically, you would have to manually apply the changes to code.

Hello Kindred,

thank you for your kind and accurate answer.

I am willing to pull my sleeves up, provided you explain me how to change the code manually. I would need a step by step howto. Is that possible? Can it be of any use, if changing the code manually?


About the ipv6 mod I have read about on another parts of the forum, it is provided as "ok up to 2.0.14".

What can be said about it?

Hello,

finally the guy who was helping me through the ticket system of my host found from our discussion what I was missing, and from there I have been able to change the ipv6 line for ipv4 line in the DNS redirection.

Problem solved, and even more now the forum is sooo fast! I have to run to catch up with the mouse!

Thanks to all who have encouraged me here and provided advice!

Best regards,
Mélodie

PS: how can I mark the thread as solved?

This Mod have many Bugs. The mod is not recommended to install, because it does not change the database.

Glad you got it working!


For future reference, most mods which were designed for 2.0.x will work with any other 2.0.x version.
You can install mods in the package manager by using emulation https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_can_I_install_a_mod_that_doesn%27t_work_in_my_SMF_version


of course, that depends on being able to get to the package manager.



To manually install a mod:
on the mod download page here on simplemachines, under the "download this mod" option, there is a dropdown and a button that says "parse"
Select the most updated version in the drop down (in this mod's case, it would have been 2.0.14) and click parse.
that will give you instructions on the code edits to made -- find what code in what file and add, remove, or change it like so....
in some cases, there is also additional files to be added and/or scripts (like db edits) to be run
   -- in new files cases, you would download the mod, extract the files as noted from the mod package and upload them to the correct directory as indicated
   -- in scripts (like db edits) you would download the mod, extract the script, upload it to the forum root directory and then run it by navigating to the file in your browser (and then delete the file)

Running SMF 2.0.17 on PHP 7.4 with IP V6 on on server side (because IPv6 is wished), what to do for smf to work ?
The ip v6 module does not seem to work ...

[Kindred]

1- SMF 2.0.17 does not support php 7.4
2- the instructions on what to modify in the IPv6 mod are listed in the discussion thread for that mod
