Upgrade troubles
Recently we've decided on making changes to our website. Going from a forum only to installing a CMS ( Joomla). I asked previously about moving all of the VB files into a subdirectory, out of the root and then doing an upgrade from 3.7 to 3.8.
Did this, extracted the newest 3.8 files into the subdirectory, mysite.com/VBulletin. Ran the install php and it did its thing with no error messages. Which, BTW, the install didn't ask me where or confirm where, I wanted VB installed to. Just did it, would be nice if a person had the option to either designate or confirm the installation path.
Anyway, I can no longer get into the admincp of VB. I checked the forum and it comes up but some members can login, some can't. Checked the database thru phpadmin and I see that its double its usual size. There are the 'original' files and then there are the duplicates with the VB3_ prefix. So how do I go about fixing this mess. There are more troubles but don't think its nessecary to list them all. Just need to get the forum back up running properly before I bridge Joomla and VB together.
Thx for your help.
