Blank pages after restore backup after failed installation 2.1.1

[jacbier]

Yesterday I was installing the upgrade 2.1.1 on www.hobbybrouwen.nl/forum

That caused problems due to a lot of server timeouts I got. (It's a very large forum.) Tried several times to connect to the server but at one point installing the upgrade really wouldn't go any further. That's why I aborted the upgrade.

Before the upgrade I had made a backup of my 2.0.19 forum with various mods.
After restoring the backup I get white pages.
The error log shows the following errors

Backend log: PHP Notice:  Undefined index: default_theme_url in /xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Sources/Load.php(2336) : eval()'d code on line 109\n

What do I need to do to make 2.0.19 work? After that I can make a second attempt to install 2.1.1

[Shades.]

How did you backup? Admin or phpmyadmin?

[Kindred]

you need to restore BOTH files and database.

[Illori]

What is repair_settings.php?

Looks to me like your paths may be incorrect.

[Arantor]

I'd speculate on a mod having template changes but the underlying file not being loaded for it...

[Sir Osis of Liver]

If the 2.0.19 database backup is complete and undamaged, you can upload clean 2.0.19 files, that should get you up and running, then try 2.1 upgrade again.

I made a backup with phpmyadmin and a backup was made by the hoster. Both don't want to work

I did...

Does this work if you have blank pages?

I will try this tomorrow.


Are there more solutions possible?

I suspect so too. Any idea how to fix that outside of a fresh set of files?

It is hard to say if we do not know what mod causes that. Can you post the list of all mods that you have installed?

What method did you use to make the backup btw?

SMF Theme Changer

I suspect the mod SMF Theme Changer is the culprit.

[pikeman]

Was maintenance mode turned on before the update?
If yes check config file, it should be set: $maintrance=0; .

[Doug Heffernan]

I suspect the mod SMF Theme Changer is the culprit.

Refreshing your forum files with those from the large upgrade 2.0.19 package, (make really sure that your db and forum files are of the same smfseries), will uninstall your mods automatically and should fix the errors.

Then re-install them one at a time till you find the culprit.

[Arantor]

I was expecting to see a mod with initials around 'cls' but don't see anything that fits :-/

[jacbier]

If yes check config file, it should be set: $maintrance=0; .

Where can I find that file?

[Arantor]

That file is the master Settings.php file in the main directory of SMF - in it should be a line like that that says $maintenance = 0; or similar. 0 means no maintenance, 1 means soft maintenance (like you set in the admin), 2 means upgrade maintenance but that's not what you're seeing here.
