Unable to update or edit blog

1 Nov 15, 2007 02:23    

My b2evolution Version: v.1.10.2

Hello,

I run a hobby forum using pHpBB and we have a blog running off it that is maintained by one of our users (http://theclubhouse1.net/blog/). I really know nothing of how the blog software works, but as the admin that installed it (via Fantastico Deluxe using cPanel) is not around to answer the question, I am hoping that someone here can help. The blog was up and running fine until we had a server issue with our hosting company (surpass) and then we had to re-install some software, and while we were doing that, the Fantastico interface notified us that the blog software had an update, so we ran it. I am unsure what version we were on, but now we are on v.1.10.2. The blog itself is online, but we can't edit entries
or create new ones. If anyone can help us figure out what to do, it would be greatly appreciated.

This is the message we get when he tries to log in now:

Most likely Fantasticop missed a file when installing the update. Can you try to run the fantasico again?
If not, you can download the software from this site and upoad the files to the server yourself. Do grab the correct version (1.10.2)

Good luck

Hi Afwas,

Thank you for the reply. Will re-installing the software remove any of the users existing entries? If so, what should be backed up before I re-install? Sorry for the newbie questions, but this is my first exposure to the application.

You'd play safe if you make a backup from the database, but normally no information is lost in the process.
You don't wnat the (re-) installation itself, only the upload of the (missing) file(s). That's what Fantastico (hopefully) will do first and when it comes to installing, it will tell you that the database is already updated. This won't harm anything, but uploading the files from a copy you downloaded from this site will cure your problem without running the installation proces.

Good luck

There is no /admin/ folder in 1.10.x, use admin.php ;)

Thanks for the help! We are back up and running after swapping the _header.php file. I'd love to give you points, but I guess I need more than zero to do it. :D

There is no /admin/_header.php ( or any /admin/ folder ) for 1.10.x, it was all replaced by /admin.php, you just need to update your bookmarks ;)
