I had this working some time ago, target was a Ubuntu 10 system, now openSuSE 12.2.

Source system is RHEL5, mySQL 5.1, vBulletin 3.8.3 (don't recall Apache version, doesn't seem to matter.) I can archive the forum pages (PHP, HTML, etc.) without issue. The mysqldump executes without issue, and I can transfer the archives to my home system via SSH successfully.

Reloading the mySQL dump into a mySQL 5.5 engine seems to run flawlessly. I've completely reinitialized the local engine, no change. No HTML errors. I've enabled error logging in the vBulletin control panel, no change.

What's happening is that after the reload, running a global change on the webpages for the new server daemon owner, etc. is that none of the forums display. Going directly to a particular forum (/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=58) coughs up a "you do not have permission" error page, and the logged in cookies disappear. All users appear in the admincp. None of the forums show in the admincp forum panel, nor in the forum permissions panel.

I must be missing something fundamental and simple. I've done this before, and I ain't figuring this out.

Suggestions?

Are there any rows in the "forum" table of the database?

In the admincp under the "Vbulletin Options" menus on the left, Try "Rebuild Bitfields" (that forces the cached forum information to be rebuilt).

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
