just reuploaded vbulletin and...
 

Hi all

Ive just had to reset our vps so i took a backup of everything and then did the reset. Now i have uploaded everything and am getting loads of errors

you can see them at www.talksweeties.com

Can anyone help or know why its causing this?

Steve

Hard to tell, I would start by re-uploading the files, make sure they are being transferred in ASCII mode for php files... maybe something went wrong in the upload...

Thank for your reply.

I have done this but it didnt work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
Steve

Looks like there's a problem with templates. Is it possible that the database didn't get fully restored?

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

I would have thought it was a problem with you uploading your files, but it talks about eval() code which is usually a plugin.

Hi

I have tryed disabling the plugins by adding define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); to the config and it doesnt work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Maybe re-download the original vb files for your version? It really looks like your files are corrupted in some way, so if you re-uploaded them and that didn't help maybe the files you are uploading are bad?

Scratch that.

Reupload ./global.php, ./includes/functions_forumlist.php and ./index.php . Make sure you are overwriting the copy on the server.

What version of vbulletin are your files?

Hi

I have tryed everything, even from replacing all the files with new ones.

Now what i have done is i have used a backup from the 18th july and everything works fine, though when i try and upload the database everything goes in ok though when accessing the website we get loads of errors, so i have pin pointed it down to the database.

Any ideas on what it could be?

was running version 3.8.6

Steve

So both the files are 3.8.6 and the database is 3.8.6?

I just went to check your site to see the errors again and it looks like you have it up and working?

Hi lynne

Im running from a backup i created over a week ago that works though not sure why the recent backup wouldnt.

why is this? am i also going to have this problem when i want to backup? to do my database backups i do them manually via phpmyadmin

Thanks
Steve

Maybe the backup was corrupted? I really can't tell you why it wouldn't work. Try using it on a test site.

speaking of restoring backups am having problem restoring my backups on my locohost server
{ limited MB upload }

Q. whats the best way to restore a big backup on locohost server?

locohost aka home server ....

From the commandline
