I"ve been struggling to get UBBThreads working on our site since I upgraded to php 8.3.11. So, I decided to install a new test instance to see if I could get it working. I installed it, and it worked out of the box. No problems.
So, is there a way to migrate my data from the down forum to the new test instance? Or will I lose stuff? I don't want to connect the test instance to the forum db, because that might screw things up.
Could I for example, do a mysqldump on the down forum db and upload it to the new db? that would at least allow me to determine that the problem is not in the db.
UPDATE: I copied the config.inc.php file from the down forum to the test forum. That broke the forum. I copied the backup config file from the test install over the down forum config tilfe, and the test instance is again working. So, it appears that something is wrong with the config file.
I ran php -l on the down forum config file, and it returned no syntax errors.
UPDATE2: I copied the config.inc.php file from the test instance to the down forum and edited it to change the db and other stuff. Now everything works. The forum is back up and running.
I spoke too soon. When I try to make a thread sticky, I get the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected string content "", expecting "-" or identifier or variable or number in /var/www/html/ubbthreads/scripts/stickpost.inc.php on line 83
I get the same error when trying to make a global announcement.
