Hi,

I'm trying to migrate my self hosted IPB to another server, and after updating the conf_global.php to use the migrated database and not the default from the new installation it throws a 500 error.

An error occurred (500 Error)
We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.

Table 'ipbtest.core_theme_settings_fields' doesn't exist

You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later.

If I look at the database I've imported from my original site some of the tables are prefixed by ibf_

e.g. the 'ipbtest.core_theme_settings_fields'  is now'ipbtest.ibf_core_theme_settings_fields' 

I'm really not sure what has caused this or how to rectifiy it, any help would be most appreicated.

Thanks

Alex

 

Hi Alex,

It sounds like the table prefix has been removed from conf_global.php

Find 'sql_tbl_prefix' in that file and set it to 'ibf_'

Excellent thank you, I completely missed that.
