What happened with my db import?
 

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before. I've imported a database which I'm in the process of moving from one server to another. When I import it I no longer see my forums in the main forum index.

I just see the headers: Forum Last Post Threads Posts
Then below it the Mark all forums read link.

In "Forum Manager" in the admincp I also do not see any forums.

I know the forums are there because I can see them in the db.
mysql> select count(*) from forum;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 40 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

When I browse directly to the forum using /url/forumdisplay.php?f=xxx
I get a permission error.

Though I'm doing this as an admin user so I should have permission. I also see my forumpermissions table is populated. What else should I be looking for?

maintenence, update counters, namely forum info.

check ownership of the files in the db folder as well, make sure root & mysql are playing nice together.

make sure the right owner owns the php files as well.

Thank you! Thank you!

It's obviously not a php file perm problem since those run, but I didn't know about this update counters stuff. Need to update counters after importing a db. Thanks so much.

Of course, now when I post in threads, the post I make is a post that was already posted in some other thread.. I've done both rebuild forum info and rebuild thread info.

I guess rebuilding post cache helps the issue I mention above.

Thanks for all the help.
