You will have to install UBB.threads 6.5 to the MySQL 4 server, then do the migration to UBB.threads 7 to the MySQL5 server.

I have an upgrade guide here.

Hello.

Thanks loads to those who helped me out.

However I have a couple of further problems now that I have managed to get the forum to actually appear.

This is my url - http://www.talkmorgan.co.uk/forums

These are my problems:
1) I can't manage to configure the mail send-outs. I am well aware from searches on this forum and google searches that this isn't a new issue, but I can't seem to find a good fix for my specific error - SMTP server response: 550 must be authenticated.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

2) Session state doesn't appear to be functioning. When I log in, I am immediately logged out?


Please let me know if it would be more convenient to post these issues are separate threads.

Thanks,
Dave

If you need to authenticate to your SMTP server then currently you'll need to edit the libs/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php file. In there you'll see a section dedicated to SMTP variables, a couple of them being SMTPAuth, Username and Password

As for the session state. I'd try manually clearing out any cookies from your site. It could be an older cookie before the move causing problems.

After looking at your forum, I see your running 6.5.5 still. Unforunately you need to disregard my previous statement. In that version there is no way to handle SMTP Autentication.

Hello again.

Many thanks again for your assistance.

I now have the forum running 7.1 and I can see already it is very much improved.

How can I import my 6.5 stylesheet though?
Or do I need to make it again?

Thanks,
Dave

Actually,

I thought I had answered by own question when I found the import style option in the control panel. However, when I try the import I get this error:

Parse error: parse error in E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\talkMorgan\public_html\forums\styles\2.php on line 11

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

Visit the style sheet forum, import a 7.1 template style sheet as a base to work from.

I doubt you old style sheet will work at all

UBB.T6 and UBB.T7 themes are not compatable; you will need to remake the them for UBB.T7.
