So, I can't find GLOBALS.php anywhere in my forum's directory, nor the adm/ directory, it's as if it just kind of disappeared. Is there any way I can rectify this problem, or am I going to have to do a fresh reinstall?

If, mayhaps, worse comes to worst, is there any way I can keep the data that was on my old forum, or am I pretty much S.O.L?

the file is located inside the include directory.

It's in the DATA_ROOT/includes/ not the WWW_ROOT

Regardless of where it's supposed to be, it does not exist as dictated by the error log, the fact that I cannot upgrade to the newer version and that converter tools to other forum software cannot access it. My main question is if there is something that can be done to salvage my forum and its templates and data or if I'm more or less screwed.

I am just a newbie so with reservations of error: If I were you I would do an SQL dump on the database and make backup copies of the folders that contain messages, private messages and attachments.

I think the folders you need are the following:
DATA_ROOT/thm/your_theme_name
DATA_ROOT/files/
DATA_ROOT/messages/


To run a MYSQLdump in a linux enviroment you enter the following
mysqldump --password=yourpass --user=username databasename > backup.sql

After you have done this, install FUDforum again, same version that you are currently running, make sure its working after the install.

Import the database
mysql --password=yourpass --user=username databasename < backup.sql

Copy and replace the files from the backup files.

Run consistency checker, mysql optimizer when asked after the consitency checker. Rebuild the theme. Run an upgradescript to 2.7.7.

Adjust your theme to 2.7.7

I'd install the previous version I had if not for the fact that every time I do I get this message:

Missing Message entry move_msg_th_expl inside i18n/english/msg

I tried to install FUDForum 2.7.7 but, of course, there were conflicts.

So, now what can I do?

The problem is caused by the fact you have 2.7.7 templates but 2.7.6 translation file. The simplest fix could be to replace your msg file with the one from the 2.7.7 version.

I want to do a data dump / backup of the SQL database similar to what is suggested in this topic...

Problem is I do not know the password for the database...this was created by original admin person who is no longer responsible for running the forum. Can I just overwrite the password in the main page of the Admin console where it says 'database password' ??

Will there be any issues with the forum data ??
I don't want users to lose access to the forum messages etc??


*** Also once I back it up, I want to move the forum to a different server...what are the steps needed ??

Will the database run in MSQL V 5 ?? It is currently running in 4.1...

Thanks in advance!

The password for the forum DB can be found inside GLOBALS.php, which you can find inside the forum's include/ directory. If you change it there, it will change as far as the forum is concerned.

As far as running on MySQL v5, yes it will run.

MySQL v5 will give you a slightly better performance.
