Server to Server Migration

I checked all the seetings in config file. I beleive they are correct.

under the debugger I can see that the crash happens at
admincp/gloabl.php line 64

dateline is hard coded in that query, it's not in the DB

to make things interesting, the live serve also does not have that field defined in the DB
it still runs

more debugging work to do

Line 64 of admincp/global.php in vBulletin version 3.8.4 is an empty line, so you have mixed up something.

Also on a quick scan of the file i can not find this query.

Are you on 4.0.4 or 3.8.5? Because you say you are running both..

I am runing 4.0.4
I upgraded the forum from 3.8.4 recently

Don't know why the error reads 3.8.4. It just does. When I search the files all of them are marked 4.0.4. The live version has CMS running, so it's 4.0.4.

In the 4.0.4 source code you can see the query being built at the line # I presented.

Something got screwed up somewhere. What was supposed to be an easy upgrade turned into 3 days of work. I ended up upgrading my forum. That killed the CMS data, which I had to rebuild manually. Now everything works. I still don't know what was wrong in the first place. My best guess is that the DB contains some remnant of 3.8.4 config. I will refrain from upgrading until the product is stabilized in the future.

Thanks to everyone who helped me. This forum is much more responsive than vb.com. I appreciate it.

If the error message say 3.8.4, then the upgrade was not completed. This can also be the cause of the error. Please run upgrade.php again.

PS If this is not on your localhost, then create a new backup first.
