We're all excitable boys.

There I was when all of a sudden. ;)

Soooo...can you remove the repair settings file?

I'm not sure where it is.

Sir Osis of Liver

Ok, at what point did you make that database backup?

Looks like it's running fine.  I had tried installing ehportal before the wheels came off, it was ported from SP and should inherit SP settings, but it crashed the forum.  Installs fine on 2.1.4 test install. 

Just installed it on a different 2.1.4 test forum, you can see it here.

Yup The backup seemed to fix it

Sir Osis of Liver

Take a look at ehportal at the link I just posted.

It's best, security wise to always remove the aforementioned file immediately after it has been used.

Sir Osis of Liver

It can be removed by running repair_settings, button at bottom, if you can't find the file.

Something didn't go right with this upgrade, but don't have access to the database.  Would really like to see what's in there.

Repair_settings at the bottom of what?

Can you work with an sql dump?

Sir Osis of Liver

I removed repair_settings couple days ago.  Would like to have a look at your 1,1.21 database as it was when I ran the upgrade.  If you have no objection, upload it to a temp directory in /httpdocs.  There's some concern here that the database is damaged.  Forum is running clean, not logging any errors, but the upgrade didn't run correctly, and there's an obvious problem with portals.

Lemme see if I can figure that out.

I'll get back to you.

httpdocs/Temp

Let me know if that's what you wanted.

ducpainter

Sorry...that's the 2.1.4 database.

Give me a minute.

Wondering if the portal issue is related to the tp references in themes?

Sir Osis of Liver

Not on my computer, will have a look tomorrow.  Portal files are ignored if the mod isn't installed.  Something's not right in the database.

That doesn't make sense at all to me. If the database would have been damaged, then it would have been impossible for the upgrade to have been completed in the first place, let alone running clean afterwards.

Was the aforementioned missing table the only error that you got with the upgrade?
