Your host should disable magic quotes as it is not compatible with PHP 5.3, but as a temp fix, in ./inc/class_core.php, line 158:
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
change to:
if(@get_magic_quotes_gpc())
and line 165:
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
change to:
@set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
Also, reupload inc/functions.php from a fresh download.
ok thanks for that works now how do i restore my backup ?
Why would you need to restore a backup??
becuase it has all the topics users and posts from before i moved hosts though i just followed instruction from the mybb wiki and still i have the default forums >? maybe i dont something wrong ?
Oh right.
Go into phpMyAdmin -> Select Forum Database.
Drop all the tables in it.
Go to Import tab
Browse to your sql backup of your original database.
Click Go and the backup will be imported.
ive done this and now i got this error
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.
SQL Error:
1146 - Table 'tycoon_mybb.mybb_tycoondatacache' doesn't exist
Query:
SELECT title,cache FROM mybb_tycoondatacache
What is the table prefix listed on your tables of your database?? Simply edit ./inc/config.php and change the table prefix to whatever is listed on your tables.
Is it a custom theme?? If so, upload the images etc related to that theme.
