Shnepsey Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Hello, everyone. I have an issue with applications after I install them in my site, every time I install an application my entire forum gets messed up and admin cp. Since I have a backup, I can always go back and I found out that the folder that fixes the issue for me is "datastore", however... if I restore it once the issue happens, it appears like I never installed the application I tried to install, simple as that... how do I fix it? FYI, my site was previously 3.4.6 version and I upgraded it, I also moved to a different host before doing that Picture of the problem here: Thank you..

2 Cookie Monster Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I happend to be in your same shoes this is what i did.Restored DB backup and files back to 3.4 (i was on 4.0.11)Then set the IPS as default theme. (Moved all files with ftp to a folder named _348, just so i have a backup)Uploaded all IPS 4 files. Ran the ugprade, BUT.I only selected the following to upgrade.ForumCalendarSystemThe shoutbox and chatbox i did not upgrade. Once updated i installed them after i had access to my IPB panel. Might not be the answer but i failed the upgrade 4 times, because i was to fast until i did it that way. 1 Liked what i posted remember to feed me a cookie ->Or you can add a cookie to my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 [ShockWave] Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Which version of IPS 4 are you using? You could try upgrading to a newer one and then installing the application again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try upgrading to a newer one and then installing the application again. 4.0.11, I tried using different version of chatbox, I don't think it has anything to do with my IPS version because anything else that I installed so far, worked completely fine.

Question
Shnepsey
Hello, everyone.
I have an issue with applications after I install them in my site, every time I install an application my entire forum gets messed up and admin cp.
Since I have a backup, I can always go back and I found out that the folder that fixes the issue for me is "datastore", however...
if I restore it once the issue happens, it appears like I never installed the application I tried to install, simple as that... how do I fix it?
FYI, my site was previously 3.4.6 version and I upgraded it, I also moved to a different host before doing that
Picture of the problem here:
Thank you..
