Hi everyone,
I have this random MyBB error 42 message on my forum:
https://promotionparadise.net
- My forum was installed on the current 1.8.14 version
- I have refused connection problems from my phone and hours later i got the error
- I tried doing the upgrade file, but my username and password couldn't work?
- I removed the install folder since it was already upgraded to the latest version?
- I cannot access the admin
Most likely the file inc/config.php has been reset because you performed the upgrade script without finishing it. If you have a backup of that file, you have to restore it, otherwise you have to perform again the upgrade script.

The upgrade coudln'teven take my username and password and there was no version to upgrade? Also, I never even attempted to upgrade MyBB anyways so the install came randomly.
how your forum was installed - is it through
one click installer at web host control panel ?
if so you have to find that service at your web host control panel &
stop automatic upgrades
And you have to
upload MyBB 1.8.14 files & do
manual upgrade by visiting
https://promotionparadise.net/install/upgrade.php
Can you send the content of file inc/config.php removing passwords if present?

I did the one click installein Novemember with 1.8.14 and the forum was live and working. I never even attempted to upgrade and auto upgrades was never selected and i checked and it was unchecked. Why would the install folder appeared randomly? I have not done any file uploads for the past couple days.

Ok, there is no issue with this file. The problem is the cached version.
First, edit file
inc/class_core.php and check if variable
$version is set to
1.8.14. If so connect to your database and execute this query. (this is not the correct method to fix it, you should perform the upgrade script again)
REPLACE INTO `mybbpp_datacache` (title, cache) VALUES ('version', 'a:2:{s:7:"version";s:6:"1.8.14";s:12:"version_code";i:1814;}')

I ran the query and my username and password appears to be invalid? I didn't change my password at all.
Check the mybbpp_users table and check if there is your account. It should have uid = 1

MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). (Query took 0.0003 sec)
SELECT *
FROM `mybbpp_users`
LIMIT 0 , 30
This is all i see
I just restored from a view days ago. I hope a random install folder does not appear again and I changed the backups from once a week to once a day. I am so confused and I really hope this does not happen to anyone else.
