There is an admin folder.

What do you mean by "missing the constant for it"?

I have cleared my cookies, cache, and tried the Default and the IPS Default themes, but all of them when I go to http://shroudofgossamer.com/admin/ I get the following screen:

Gol Form looks like the only one that I didn't copy over the default templates from. I already cut and paste (since there is no revert) Sog Chapters and Gol Display to defaults.

It seems the main issue was with hooks.php file, whatever that issue was. It looks like that is created as part of the install process or update process as the base software doesn't have a hooks.php. That was what was alluding me. I was replacing the files in the / directory with clean files from fresh download, I even removed the old files... when I should have downloaded the files from the /new test install, then uploaded those into root. Since that has a hooks.php, that would have caught that issue. 

Everything is now working.

I have reverted the Database to the default Listing, Display and Form templates. I will copy, re-edit the templates from them, just in case there is something else that got missed in the customization. Most of it is just ccs renames and removing a few sections that she doesn't want to display.

Thank you!

I have done that, I went through ACP -> Pages -> Page Management -> Templates, I even compared the versions with the test board. I tried copying over the defaults from the test board, just in case something was missed. 

The crux though is that

That is the issue though, I can't access the Database settings to change the templates. So I tried making sure they all matched defaults. If I click on ACP -> Pages -> Databases this is what happens:

It looks like I am going to have to go back to my original plan. Manually cut and paste all the articles from the main site into /test. Then remove the main database and replace it by pointing to the new one created with test. 

I've reverted back to the default theme for IPB. I have reverted all the templates that I can see if Pages, I made sure Articles was using IPS Default. I am still getting an error but have no idea what would be causing it. I've spent hours comparing settings, at least the ones in AdminCP that I can get too. Otherwise I get errors like this:

Main page appears to be fine, but when I try to click on any of the articles I get:

If I try to log in, it logs me in but then gives me the error:

Still having issues. I went to the Support Tool, Restored the default theme, still having some issues navigating, getting errors. 

The Gallery works fine. I think it is not related to the theme in InvisionBoard but instead related to edits/theme in Pages. It has a different part and calls for theming. I'll have to copy out the changes and see if I can rever those parts.

I could not even get into the Admin to make changes to templates. I was able to force through the errors to get the support page to at least load, then was able to "Clear System Cache". I am now at least able to get into AdminCP.

I spoke too soon. I can log into the main page, view some pages. It seems the Categories are broke. When I go to log into Admin CP, I get: 

No there should be no mix of files. The old files are in the / while the new ones are in /new.
I copied everything from / (minus /new) to /old. When I tried the upgrade and did upload them, there was a mix then. 
To revert though I deleted everything from / (except for /new and /old), then copied files from /old back into / so it should only be the old files, no mix of files. 

That was me trying to upgrade through the menu options in the AdminCP.

I now re-uploaded the new files into the / directory, now there is a mix of files. But instead of going through the AdminCP as directed, I went to {your base url}/admin/upgrade, which seems to be working. It is running the database upgrade now so that is moving forward at least.

I am not sure why going through the AdminCP and clicking the upgrade option did something different... but it does appear that is upgrading.

Once it is updated and it is working, I will remove all the files in / and then upload a clean fresh batch of the new software, keeping my conf_global and that should leave me with an upgraded functioning board and no old files at all.

Yes, I tried to upgrade it via AdminCP, it would not download. It said to manually download. I manually downloaded it, then uploaded it to the directory, and pressed Continue as directed but then got the following error:

[[Template core/global/global/includeCSS is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

If I try to run the Support option from the menu or just go into templates to try to revert everything back to default theme, I get:

So that is why I installed a fresh test. And was going to go through the process of manually copying all the pages into the test. Then replace the existing old with a new, pointed to the sql database. 

No, not the test site, that was installed and is working fine. 

It is the main site, which is on the old version. Since I could not upgrade it through the menu because it looks like its getting a template issue/error even though I did restore via the Support tool. After I moved the files/folders into an old directory. Then moved them back, it seemed to not work anymore at all.

I was just hoping to get be able to access the settings for page, so I can manually look at the base setups to set them on the test site. Then I was just going to manually recreate/move the pages to the test site. Then remove the old one, upload fresh one, and point it to the database that was created with the test. At least that was my theory of getting it updated the hard way. 

I cleared cookies and cache too.. but it seems confused between the test and the main site for some reason. The main site is in the main directory / while the test is in /new. Main site and test site are in their own sql directories. I even removed everything in the mian directory, then recopied the files from /old over but something must not of copied correctly or gotten messed up.

I have updated the login information with an admin/password.

I have updated FTP access.

I can't change the password for IPB account, it gives me an error. I did submit a ticket through the Support link in the admin on 12/24/2022, it created a temp user as part of it that should still be there. The support directed me here. Are you able to look up that ticket and see the user/pass that got created with that?

Normally I would have tried to upload new board files to overwrite, in case something did not copy over right when I moved them to the old directory and back to the original folder. But I lost my main drive a while back, only have my backup before I started version control for IPB so I just have a bunch of Invision Community folders, and not sure which is the one that matches. 

I tried resetting the one in access information t through 'forgot password' but I am not sure if it updated correctly. I have to wait 14 minutes because its locked out currently. 

I am having an issue upgrading to the latest version. First, it was an issue with PHP 8.1 which I got resolved. It has an issue downloading and extracting and has me download it manually, then upload it. I copied all the contents of the site, and put them in a 'old_backup' directory. I then uploaded everything from a fresh download of the Community Suite. When I went to Continue to upgrade I got the following error:

I removed everything from the directory. Put everything from the old_backup into the directory. I tried to run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme but got the following:

If I try to go to anything like AdminCP -> Pages -> Databases

My next plan since I can mostly view the pages was to install a fresh load into a 'temp directory'. We use mostly pages, no forum, and a couple of gallery images so not a heavy site. Then I can manually move all the pages over. Then once it's set up properly, remove everything from the main directory, install a fresh load, and point it to the new database that was created with the temp install. 

For the most part, that is working. I installed a testinstall and started to move the pages over. There were a couple of css issues to deal with, but since I can view the main page mostly, I can at least use 'Developer Tools' to see the css that I need to add. The main issue though is I can't see the original configuration settings for Database, how it was set up and I thought I added some fields for the pages to use like "Chapter". However, I can't view any of those settings because of the errors above. 

Any idea on how I can view the setups (I do have access to phpmyadmin) or how to fix whatever template issue it is having so I can view them?

Thank you!

After some back and forth they finally came back and said that it should be fully enabled now. Everything is at least running as it should be. 

It is not hosted here, it is on my own server host, whom they are saying it is installed, to which they referred me to the 2nd screenshot which shows GD checked.

I have not been able to upgrade my IP, issues going from php 7.4 to 8.1. So I'm starting from scratch to see if I can resolve those issues first, then see if I can upgrade or if I'll just have to manually move everything over. Starting from scratch, I get the following error:

If I check my PHP Extensions it shows gd is selected:

When I submitted a ticket to my host they said it is enabled already. 

I am not sure what I'm missing or how to proceed from here now. 

Does this only modify the "home Article" view or does it also apply to the "Categories" within Pages?
