MyBB Community Forums

Alright, this is a quite long story, but I'll try to simplify it as much as I can. It's all based from this support topic that I opened on my host's support forum: http://x10hosting.com/forums/free-hostin...forum.html

Well, it all started when I bought a domain name from NetFirms for my forum. I didn't really know much about setting up domains, so this was pretty much my first time trying to set up the domain. The original forum link is http://undeadoralive.x10.mx ... http://uora.net is the domain name that I purchased. Anyway, I had the domain set up, and the main index would show up if I visit the link; however, the other links (such as the navigation links and official links were all http://undeadoralive.x10.mx links, not http://uora.net links. I was able to fix the topic links by doing a few things in PHPMyAdmin. But even though the topic/post links were fixed, the official navigation links and other links were not; and also there was a problem with the cache, which was the reason why I couldn't login to the forum successfully (I logged in, but then it would show that I didn't really log in...) I was told that I had to delete the cache in mybb_datacache inside PHPMyAdmin, but before doing so, I had to be sure I downloaded a backup just incase there was a major problem that would occur during the process. Well, apparently was a problem that occurred... I keep getting a 'MyBB Error (42)' error page every time I try to click on either one of the domains. I have the backup downloaded in a .sql file, but I have no idea on how to use it. All I want to do is undo the deletion of the cache so that it won't show the error page anymore. I also want all http://undeadoralive.x10.mx domains to be replaced by http://uora.net domains.

Thanks. Any help is much appreciated.

If it was a full website backup, upload the files then delete the old ones. If it was just a db backup, do the same thing, but you'll have to delete the db first as you want the exact same name.

It was a full backup. Where would I upload the files?

http://uora.net/install/upgrade.php

Go there, before that delete the 'lock' file inside public_html/install

Restore the database from the backup and once you're back up you'll need to rebuild the MyBB cache but don't do it from phpmyadmin, you need to go in to the admincp and rebuild cache from there

@ Renegader: Alright, I deleted the 'lock' file, but now I'm trying to login on http://uora.net/install/upgrade.php and it keeps posting this at the top:

@ G33K: I have no idea on how to restore the database from the backup. I was told that there should be a Backups link on the cPanel page, but I could never find it.

just re upload functions.php might be corrupted.

Still won't work. :/

As for the backup restore issue you could ask your host to help you out there since I assume they're the ones who told you that you could find it in cpanel. If they don't then we can see where to go from there.

Also try re-uploading /inc/class_session.php file from a clean download to correct the above error.
