Hi All,

I am not able to login after update to 7.6 version at all or any members of the forum and I am getting this message when try to login:

FATAL ERROR: Unable to find the uk-english or english language directories. Please notify the administrator.

Any help would be appreciated.

check if the languages/english and your custom languages/uk-english directories exist. if not, restore them from your backup.

Are you saying from the old version 7.5 that I have on the server?

thats not what i said at all.

you should have a recent backup, just incase something goes wrong. probably a backup from earlier this week or from the begining off the month or from after you installed the most recent update and everything was running perfectly. use the previously mentioned languages from the directories from that backup.

though, thats assuming that you already checked your current install and the directories were missing.

if the directories are there, and you really only just use "english," not "uk-english," you may have accidentally enabled that language (existing directory) in your control panel without checking if their were correct files actually within that dir.

"uk-english" is not one if the officially included stock language files. you might just be getting the error because youve installed a third party language pack for a much older version of UBB.threads... one that is not compatible with your current version.

The error message is quite clear, UBB.threads cannot find the "english" or "uk-english" language directories, which would be /forum/languages for your site.

Have you (or has your host, without telling you, which actually happens more than you'd think) changed servers recently? Or moved your forum to a different folder? Are the paths in your /forum/includes/config.inc.php file all correct?

I'm looking at your forums now though, and they seem to be working fine:

Just an FYI, since you're using a non-standard language directory (UK English), there are a significant amount of changes between the v7.5 series and the v7.6 series; v7.5 language packs just simply will not work under v7.6 and new ones will need to be created.

If you're on a windows server and that's the path displayed for your document root, then yes.

Be sure to make a backup of any files before modifying their contents.
