Can no longer bring my board up.

http://www.mikeamick.com/forum

I get this error msg when I try

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.
SQL Error: 1053 - Server shutdown in progress
Query: SELECT title,cache FROM mybb_datacache

I was getting warning msgs about not having the latest version
so I thought I would just go ahead and upgrade to see if that
helped .. even though I don't think it will .... anyways ..
I have a couple really simple questions about the upgrade.

1. I know it is going to ask me what version I am upgrading from
and I am embarrassed to say that I dont know .. so .. is there a
file in my forum directory that will tell me. Remember .. I can
NOT bring the board up. (note .. I have only been using it
for about 6 months .. so .. I'm pretty sure its 1.4something)

2. There are two different directions .. one on the wiki .. and one
that came with the download .. which one is right. One talks
about CHMOD'ing a bunch of files and the other doesnt. And
is CHMOD'ing just a fancy way of saying ... make it read only ?


thats it
thanks for looking

1. inc/class_core.php
It should say your version number somewhere in the first 20 or so lines.

2. Follow the Wiki is your best bet, it's always likely to be more up to date.

thanks rh1no ... real quick though .. when they say CHMOD ...

are they just saying make it read only ... ?

The necessary CHMOD settings on files/folders are outlined here:
[Wiki: CHMOD_Files] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead)

Quote:MyBB requires certain files and directories to have different permissions in order for it to write to the files. However, the permissions required also depend on how your server is setup. Folders usually should be set to 777. Setting files to 777 will provide read/write/execute access to any user of the server, which may be a security risk, but provides the least troublesome install and operation. You can usually give 666 access to files.
