Help? "Unable to load the 'Errors' template."

[AquaMizuko]

I just converted a phpBB to SMF using the tool on the downloads page, and now I preformed an upgrade to make sure that everything would work.. except it seems to have broken something, getting the error in the title. Any idea what may be causing this?

[JayBachatero]

What errors are you getting?
What version of SMF are you using?

[AquaMizuko]

The files are 1.0.5, but the converter made the database 1.0.2 it said, and gave me an error when I as deleting a file. I ran the 1.0.5 upgrade.

That's the only thing showing on the page, is "Unable to load the 'Errors' template."

[JayBachatero]

Reupload all your template files.

[AquaMizuko]

The upgrade ones or the originals?

[JayBachatero]

Upgrade.  Actually overwrite all the files and then run upgrade.php

[AquaMizuko]

Alright, I'll try that.. Does it matter that I was using a custom theme and not the defaults?

[JayBachatero]

Actually yes it matters if the theme you are using is not compatible with the forum version that is currently installed.

[AquaMizuko]

Ah, I used a version of AutumnLight with modified colours and a few other small changes. Will your instructions will work then?

[JayBachatero]

Try using the default theme and check if you get the error.  If you do then do the upgrade.  Remember to backup your forum.

[AquaMizuko]

I would if I could switch themes, unless there's a way to do it through FTP.. The whole page is blank except for the error.

[JayBachatero]

To change themes you do this.  http://yoursite.com/forum/index.php?theme=1

To upgrade you have to do it through FTP.

Yeah, still doesn't work. Oh well. Glad hardly anyone's seen this new forum yet.

I'll look over the guide and try your suggestions.

One more thing.. Should I be using smf_1-0-5_update.zip or smf_1-0-5_upgrade.zip? I used the latter.

[JayBachatero]

Use smf_1-0-5_upgrade.zip to make sure that all of your files are correct.
