Install only creates SOME directories; can't CHMOD; can't import! [message #18014]

Hello.

I can't import a .sql backup into the forum that I just
installed. Each time I tried, I got an error saying that
some file didn't exist. When I changed the permissions of
the .sql file to 777, running the import just brings up a
blank page.

It's a .sql file I created through phpMyAdmin, not the
forum "data dump" utility. I tried importing it to both
a new 2.5.2 version installation, and the latest stable
version (I forget the version numbers).

I believe that the problem is that install.php DIDN'T
create all of the required directories/files. And I
can't manually CHMOD ANY directories or files with my
FTP client, nor can I even browse to the directories the
FUDforum script created!

Any suggestions, please?

Thank you.

Namaste,
FitnessJunkie

How are you trying to import it? If you created the .sql files via phpMyAdmin you should be trying to import it via phpMyAdmin as well. The FUDforum's import tool can only import datadumps generated by FUDforum.

Hi.

I tried importing it both ways, and still get the same kind
of problem.

?? What's your question?

I tried importing it both ways you suggested, if that's
what you're asking?

I think we are not on the same page here.

If you create a dump of the forum's SQL data via phpmyadmin you need to import this dump via phpmyadmin as well. Any problems with doing so are bugs(?) inside phpmyadmin.

I got it working. I think it was because I hadn't named the
table prefixes quite the same.

Thank you.

Hi again.

I should've check this first, but although it did seem to
install right this time, I'm still not able to CHMOD any
directories or files with my FTP client -- nor can I even
browse to the directories FUDforum created. It gives me a
"550 permission denied" error any time I try to do any of
the above.

How can I get around this? Thank you.

Namaste,
FitnessJunkie

You need to access the admin control panel of your forum and click on the "Lock/Unlock Forum's Files" that will allow you to "unlock" forum files. After that you'll be able to modify them with your FTP client.

Thank you. What does this error mean?

Quote:

Warning: fopen(/home/blowncov/FUDForum/messages/msg_1): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/blowncov/public_html/truth/forum/theme/default/msg.php on line 740

Warning: fseek(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/blowncov/public_html/truth/forum/theme/default/msg.php on line 760

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/blowncov/public_html/truth/forum/theme/default/msg.php on line 761

As the first part of the error message says, there's nothing
in the /messages directory. I'm confused as to why the topics
and categories are there, but when you click on a post, you
get the above.

Also, what do the second and third error messages above mean?

Thanks very much.

Namaste,
FitnessJunkie

It means you are missing the message file containing the bodies of the forum's messages.

Ummmmm ... do you know where they would've gone? I used
the import function in phpMyAdmin. I'm unsure as to how
I could've gotten everything but the message bodies in
the import. :-/

Thank you.
