MyBB Community Forums

I have a test site, and it decided to take a crap. Then it looks like someone (not sure who) tried to fix it by possibly doing some part of an upgrade (hard to tell for sure). I plan to build up a parallel site, then restore an old backup to it. I normally name my backups to include the version of MyBB at the time, but the one I think I want to use doesn't have the version in the name.

Is there a file in the site (FILES) backup that I can look at, to figure out which version of the forum I was running when I created it? I will build the parallel site at that version, restore my tables and files, and then go from there.

Thanks!

./inc/class_core.php stores the current version.

Thanks! I found it there, near the top of the file.

OK, I imported the backup of the forum DB. When it's in place with vanilla 1607 files (fresh install), I can see my content but no graphics of any kind. I assume this is because none of my themes (etc.) are there... So I then replace my forum folder with a folder that was FTP'd up from backup. When I do this, I get the error, "Your board has not yet been upgraded. Please do so before attempting to browse it."

The INSTALL folder has been renamed, so this should not be a factor. Is there a place I can check in the database itself, to confirm it's also at version 1607? I assume it is, since it will work against vanilla 1607 forum files, but would like to be sure.

What else could it be? Thank you.

EDIT: The fix for the upgrade error was to correct the config.php -- it was pointing to the wrong DB name. Things look good now.
