[Solved]Forums wacked

[Viruz]

Ok. Our forums had issues with our host a few days ago, and I backed up the forums. I reloaded from scratch, updated to 141, and got the database back up. But nothing shows. All the posts are there if I go into the database. If I try to resynch all I get is a blank screen (for the entire site). I can get the site back up if I upload an unaltered dev_tree, but I can't post or make any changes to the forum structure. Right now all I have is Test Forum 1 up there. If I try to change it or take it out the update to dev_tree makes the entire site go 'white' again.

There is also a new forum called 'Restored Forums' that I didn't create.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my dev_tree file from 140

Your board might have the dreaded Blank Site Bug.


If this is the case, the following should fix it:


open includes/functions_categories_hierarchy.php

FIND

Code: Select all

define('CACHE_TREE', true);

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

// define('CACHE_TREE', true);

CHMOD your def_tree.php to 666, Resync, and it will hopefully all be goodà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ <img>

That did the trick! Thank you so very much for your help there. Woot! <img>

I have the same issue. I have tried installing multiple times. The database gets filled and then when you click on the button at the bottom of the screen to continue, it goes to 'login.php' and just displays a blank screen. I tried the above fix and it did not help me.

thanks in advance,

Disregard,

I changed my sql version to 'without' mysqli and the forum installed. I don't know why using mysqli caused an issue as I verified that it IS installed on the server.

anyway, the site is up so I'm happy.
