Does this error occur on all admin panels or just the consistency checker?

Just the consistency checker, but a host of other errors also cropped up. Enough that the forums seem completely cheezed. I backed them up, did a forum data-dump, and installed 2.5.0RC4 from scratch, and tried to reimport the data, but that didn't work well for a host of reasons... Apparently, you have to have the same table prefix (and the new installation defaulted to fud_25 and not fud_2, etc etc.) So I'm in the middle of TRYING to figure out a way to install a clean copy of FUD forum AND import in all the old users, groups, and messages. I can live without the themes for now, but my userbase will KILL me if I have to "reset things to zero" again.

HMMM... actually, the forum data dump is just plain broken.

It's full of obviously wrong SQL lines like:
INSERT INTO fud2_ (id,logtime,logaction,user_id,a_res,a_res_id) VALUES(1,1023142450,NULL,27,'ADDFORUM',2)

Ugh, my frustration level is rising here... Time to see if I can get something back from the backups...

One thing for sure: I'm never relying on the import datadump to work properly again. It never has.

OK: I've got the restore from backups, but its the same installation that's been having all the troubles for the past few weeks... I guess I need to figure out a way to import messages/users/groups from one forum instance to another

Hmm... to manually backup/import the forum you need to do the following:

Backup the following directories:
messages/
files/
images/
thm/

And your sql data.

Then install a new forum (make sure it is the same version as the old).

Once that is done replace the data with the backups and modify GLOBALS.php accordingly (if prefixes changed etc...).

After that's done run the consistency checker.

Which version were you upgrading from originally?

Well, I was going from 2.5.0RC3 to RC4, but my RC3 sounded like it had a few hangups and leftovers from previous versions (such as the PM quote problem you had said was fixed by RC3)...

Right now, the restored forum reports itself as RC4... And the consistency checker is behaving, as is the SQL optimizer... But this again is after I hacked out any mention of any theme or themeset other than "default"...

In doing the SQL backup, I'm going to have to make sure that FUD installs with the same prefix as was being used before, correct?

I'll go over the backup/import code but it should support different prefixes.

Alright, I'm using a fresh install of 2.5.0RC4 in which I just manually copied over the files, messages, etc. Redid the themes by hand,

As for the database: couldn't get a reimport to work with a different prefix, so I did the install with the same prefix as had been used the LAST time I did a fresh FUDForum install (fud2_) and it seems to work... Don't know what cruft has been left in that database though, of course. Consistency checker passed at least.

Already a lot of the bugs I was seeing went away, so that's good.

Now I can get back to bugging you about the RSS format, but that's a different thread. Smile Thanks for the suggestions/help.
