Doesn't look like you over wrote the code...
// PortaMx ecl cookie handling
if(!pmx_checkECL_Cookie())
pmx_setECL_Cookie();


This is still in that Load.php file.

Inside the Sources Directory there is also a PMX Subdirectory... Should I delete it ?

Also there is Load.php~
file, so an older version...
hmm..

I would reupload the large upgrade. Wipe or rename the sources folder and themes folder. like sources2 themes2 etc make a backup first.

Okay, I will try, that patching to the ECL did nothing inside the Load File...

hartiberlin

it seems the big upgrade still needs files in the Sources folder to do the upgrade,
so just renaming the Sources folder does not help...

You need the sources folder from the large upgrade uploaded on your site and all files from the large upgrade.

Ahh I see, so I have to replace them there... Sorry... my error...lol...

hartiberlin

Now I have the domain without the Mods,
but the frontpage still says:



    Free Energy | searching for free energy and discussing free energy

An Error Has Occurred!
Call to undefined function PortaMx()
Back

hartiberlin

And also I can no longer login into my domain..
Hmm
it comes up again with:


An Error Has Occurred!
Call to undefined function PortaMx()


hartiberlin

tommorow I will try to remove all PortaMX Tables from the database with phpmyadmin...

vbgamer45

You must have the old files somewhere... or the large upgrade you are uploading isn't overwriting the files.

When you attached the Load.php file it still had the pmx code in it...

It has nothing to do with the pmx tables in the dB.

You are not actually following the upgrade instructions.

So... do this

1, delete the sources directory entirely
2, delete the themes directory entirely
3, delete index.php and ssi.php

4, now, upload the upgrade archive and extract

5, upload repair_settings.php
6, run repair_settings.php and remove hooks
7, run upgrade.php

I am still having a problem with the URLs..

old URLs don't work...

Like:
https://overunity.com/19069/holcomb-energy-systemsbreakthrough-technology-to-the-world/msg571667/#msg571667

They are just redirecting to the homepage...

Now I think the default setting is with a question mark somehow...
like:
https://overunity.com/index.php?topic=18497.0

How can I convert this again to these Slashes ??
Was this done via a Mod like PortaMX or
was this done without a mod ??

Many thanks again.

It would have probably been the prettyurls mod...   or it might have been part of portamx, she did alot of wierd stuff in that mod

I see, then it was probably from PortaMX, because I did only use this...

Is the PortaMX 1.54 ECL Mod still compatible with SMF 2.019 ?

Then I will try to install this again...

Or is there also something simular in SimplePortal or TinyPortal Mod ?
