De.scription and Message

Hi Everyone!

I did a few mistakes... <img>

Everything was okay... I was tired and I erased some files on my server...
So I uploaded the archive "Integramod141", and now, I have to reinstall my website!!! I will lost all my website!
What can I do to save my forum!!! Help!!!

your site is not lost, due to new files. The default files have the default forum cached in them. Be sure to correctly chmod your files. especially all the includes/def_*.php files. They should be set to 666. This allows the database to write to them and show your actuall forums and posts. Once this is done, go to acp/forum admin and click the resync button.

Well, I can't change CHMODs on mu host (free.fr)... <img>

[Helter]

how did you ever install it the first time?

[Nights]

I've installed it normally, but I didn't change the CHMODs (I can't)... The forum worked, I had mesages...

And Yesterday, I erased some files on my ftp... I uploaded the "Integramod141" archive and when I go back on my site, It s asking me to install Integramod...

If you use a ftp client you can CHMOD your files.

I use flashfxp myself but you can CHMOD your files using the FTP client.

make sure you delete the install folder and you probably overwrote your config.php.

use this and replace with your database info.

Code: Select all

<php>

if you get your site back and cant resync the forums from acp/forum admin , let me know and ill tell you how to disable caching to read your forums directly from the database

It works perfectly!!!

Thank you very much!!! <img>
