MyBB Community Forums

[attachment=44109]

So after setting up the forum successfully, I woke up this morning to see a gibberish display of text.

I can still go directly to the Admin panel via a direct URL, but it shows nothing that is any different from my last setting.

Using a dedicated server with PHP 7.4.x, latest MariaDB 10.3, etc.

Let me know if the screenshot provides a clue.

Peace,

Can we have the actual forum URL?

Go to ACP > Tools & Maintenance and run a file verification check. I'm presuming you haven't changed any character encoding settings anywhere?

If you converted the database to utf8-mb4, make sure the config.php reflects that same change.

/**
 * Database Encoding
 *  If you wish to set an encoding for MyBB uncomment
 *  the line below (if it isn't already) and change
 *  the current value to the mysql charset:
 *  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/charset-mysql.html
 */

$config['database']['encoding'] = 'utf8mb4';

Nope:

And, suddenly, when I post a message, the wheel spins and I get this error notice:

Visited your site just now and it all looks normal here.
I noticed a cloudflare script at the bottom.
Perhaps a hosting problem got sorted out.

Yes it did sort itself out. Thanks for snipping the dump.
