I got a couple of things done a while a go and I would like to get them checked.
Can I please get some advice from some members here or maybe even recommendations from some long-serving and trusted members that can recommend a trusted developer to do a check for me to make sure that my forum has...
Ahh. I didn't do that, but I did test the upgrade process with the forum and all the add-ons that needed updating on my localhost version and there were no issues, but I'll keep that in mind in the future.
Brogan and RisteD - thanks so much for your help with all this, it's life saving and I'm learning so much!
Okay, so I already had a back up version of the folder before I did any local host stuff on the server already. After deleting the forum folder from my website, I just changed the name of...
Okay so please tell me if what I'm doing is correct.
I'm deleting my forum folder.
Re-uploading the forum folder that I saved before doing any of this.
The database is still there, so that should be OK. if I have to re-import it, I can.
To answer your question, the logs show this:
When I checked the .config file. I still had some of the test code in there, so I have removed that and will re-upload the file to the server, and it still gives me the HTTP ERROR 500. The console does not return any errors now, though.
I copied over the live site with a local host installation instead of doing the upgrade process on the live site.
I believe the best way to really fix this is to delete my forum folder on the server and restore a backup onto it, but I don't know how to do that.
I mean I could install the...
Yes that's right.
Actually, I ended up losing the entire thing. Now I have a HTTP Error 500.
I only replaced the folder's contents on the live site with the local host one (of course with htaaccess and the config file were changed back).
I have some backups saved so I am going to restore it...
I've followed these instructions: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-to-duplicate-a-live-site-to-use-as-a-test-site.67118/page-3#posts
I backed up my forum.
Then I downloaded my forum on the local host.
Once the update was complete locally, I changed the .htaccess file and the config.php...
Hello. I would just like to clarify something regarding the above advice from ages ago:
If your local host has the same name database in phpmyadmin, it will not let you create a new database with the same name.
So would backing up your existing database on your live site, deleting it...
That feature only communications effectively for offences committed that they are not banned for, not for giving details on the last instance that triggered the ban should they get confused about that which could be likely depending on the forum and its culture, and in a general sense they would...
I needed a custom add-on to ensure I was able to keep uploaded content exclusive on my website. Fahad went to great lengths to make my experience in doing business with him as comfortable as possible. He even allowed me to negotiate a price and a payment arrangement with him that was mutually...
Yes, you're on the right track now. Maybe not instead of a message, though, but as well as a message, so they have a reference for later if their ban expires/is lifted.
The point of all this is being able to communicate effectively with the ban reason in an efficient way with the use of the...
