Your Portal Version: 1.0.6 Your phpBB Type: Standard phpBB3 MODs installed: Yes Your knowledge: Basic Knowledge Boardlink:http://www.fishing-victoria.com/
PHP Version: 3.0.11
What have you done before the problem was there? Attempted to upgrade the Board3 Portal from 1.0.6 to 2.0.1
Followed the installation guide and over-wrote the 1.0.6 existing files.
What have you already tryed to solve the problem? My PHPBB forum then crashed so I restored the files back to 1.0.6.
Now when my Forum members submit a reply, there is a 30 second delay and then 500 internal server error.
However the post actually does get submitted to the forum despite the error.
(If the user hits refresh, there will be a double post.)
I am thinking there is something wrong in the database due to the failed upgrade?
Description and Message Any help will be greatly appreciated
The needed database parts are completely different in Board3 Portal 1.0.6 and Board3 Portal 2.0.1. That's also the reason why there is no simple update instruction.
When it comes to your issue, I'm unsure of what would cause that. The portal doesn't change anything related to posting.
given I did a failed upgrade to Board3 Portal 2.0.1 and reverted back to 1.0.6, is there anything I should look for in the database from the 2.0.1 attempt that is not needed for the existing 1.0.6.
The posting server error only started after the attempted upgrade.
For undoing the changes you did you'll need to upload the Board3 Portal 2.0.1 files again and run the installer again. Then choose to uninstall Board3 Portal 2.0.1. Afterwards remove the files again and replace them with the Board3 Portal 1.0.6 files. Then just remove Board3 Portal 1.0.6 completely by undoing the changes described in the install instructions. Finally, you can actually install Board3 Portal 2.0.1 afterwards.
Then again, there is no actual proof that would suggest that this will take care of your issues. Board3 Portal doesn't change anything related to posting.
