There are no database details shown at all at that url.

On a current forum the install page will go to the upgrade one. And it is locked. You can change the name of the admin folder/path if it will make you feel better.

What precisely would be a great help to you? Any changes to the dataabse tables structure will be taken care of automatically by the upgrader, as mentioned above.

What errors are you getting?

As mentioned above, the php issue issue has to be sorted out first. That is because to the aforementioned issue with php. If I were you, I would contact your host a.s.a.p.

Did you actually run the upgrader after you overwrote the forum files? Also it looks like the files might have not been overwriten properly imo. What is your php version btw and from what version did you upgrade from?

Yes, I read their reply at their other topic. In that case the OP is in very good hands. The Ips staff will sort this out for them.

The admin panel login screen is loaded fine, but when you try to login you get the aforementioned error. That error is general and doesn't tell us much. Hence my suggestion at the OP 's other topic, to check the core_log table in the database and see what are the most recent error messages logged in there, as that might give us more information on the cause/nature of the error.

That would be the best course of action, but from what I read, it appears that the OP doesn't have access to the email address anymore, that they had used for the admin account. In that case doing a password reset won't help much I am afraid. But maybe I read it wrong.

Did you click on the phpMyadmin link as mentioned above? Can you post a screenshot of how it looks like on your end?

That link is not working as well. I get an error page when I load it.

I think you can use the pages to do something like that.

If you can't log in at the forum to change both those things from your profile, you can still change them from the database directly. Although changing things in the database directly is not rcommended, in this case the changes are very minimal and they can be done very safely imo. First of all make a backup of the database. Then to change the email address, run the following sql query at the SQL tab of the phpmyadmin of the database that you have used to install your Ipb forum. UPDATE core_members SET email = 'youremailhere' WHERE member_id = x; To change the password run this sql query: UPDATE core_members SET members_pass_hash = '$2y$10$0.QFIEyYUJuic7Rf9WwbJ.tygzTTn3L5qkzDJ6wqv1m7DnZctUREK' WHERE member_id = x; For the first query, replace youremailhere with the actual email address that you want to use and replace x in both queries with your actual member id. The second query will change the password to test. After you log in, you can change it to something strong and secure. And if you are using a custom prefix for your database tables add it to the table name at both queries. Hope it helps.

Is the error you quoted above the only error that you are getting? Can you check the core_log table in the database and see what are the most recent error messages logged in there? That might give us more information on the cause of the error and hopefully fix it.

What did you try to upload and how did you do it? Did you try to upgrade your forum? If so, all you have to do is overwrite your forum files with those of the latest Ipb package.

Indeed. You should check the aforementioned table if the PRIMARY KEY is set to AUTO_INCREMENT. Can you make a screenshot of the structure of said table and post it here? Is this error happening when posts contain attachments only, or is it for all posts btw?

Can you please post the full error message? Not all of them, but the most 2-3 recent ones.

It looks like a partial restore rather than a full one by looking at things. Do you have a recent backup of the database that you made yourself? If you check the System Logs page, are there any detailed errors logged in there?

Personally I don't think that this is a convertion tool issue. I have done several migrations to Ipb and I have never had any issues. It might be that the path is not entered correctly, hence why it's not being recognised by the conversion. No problem. You can give it a go though, and enter the path being output by the file and see if it will help. It's no harm in trying imo.

Glad to see that you got it working. Do you mind telling us what caused the issue and how you solved it? It will help other users who might run into the same issue as well.

You need to overwrite your current forum files/folders with those from the latest Ipb package.

If you don't know for sure the absolute path to your MyBB forum, you can try the following. Create a php file and call it paths. The file format should be: paths.php. Open it and add the following code: <?php //Get the absuolute path $path = getcwd(); echo "This Is Your Absolute Path: "; echo $path; Save the changes and upload it inside your MyBB folder in your server space and call it from the browser by going to the following url: yourforumurl.com/paths.php Replace yourforumurl.com with the actual url of your MyBB forum and it will show you its absolute path. Hope it helps.

This is almost always server related. Are there any errors logged in at the Server Error Log? What version of Ipb do you have currently and what is the php version?

In this screenshot it asks for the path to the MyBB forum, whereas you have entered the one to the avatars. I haven't used MyBB for quite a while, but I do seem to remember vaguely that the paths were defined at the MyBB settings page. You can copy it from there.

If you check the System Logs, are there any errors logegd there pertaining to this?
