IPS Corrupted

[lollo90]

Hi All!

My IPS 4.3.6 is <removed> up. It have tons of errors and so on. Before this happened I did a backup of both database and ftp files.

If I try to delete everything and re-upload ftp files and database I got same errors. How can I do a fresh install and import only threads, members and important things?

Thank you

The problem was (I believe) a misconfiguration of the database. Luckily it was a fresh install so re-creating the database from zero solved the problem

Re-upload the software and database onto your host. 

In another directory, do a fresh install and use the converters on your new forum.

Thank you for your answers. Can you please link me the converter?

The converter is pre-installed in the software.

Thank you very much for your help. Actually I'm facing this problem: I can not set a recognized path to uploads folder (I know it's not wrong):

 

Could it be because the old forum is offline? I can't get it online due to problems.

Your path should look like this:

/home/(your user)/public_html/forum/uploads/

Thank you, it worked!

I'm just having some problems with certain passwords. In short some users can't login due to incorrect password, in the database it figure as "NULL" field. Pretty strange.

If they used legit emails, they can just recover the password for the account. However, if they didn't, you'd have to set the password in the admin control panel.

Thank you @Jeffrey. One last thing: when a user try to tag someone the window keep logging in for hours without showing nothing:

 

And links are not automatically embedded. They appears only as links, even if they are images.

If you upload the same theme and remove the current one, it will install using https and not http (like the current one).
