PhPbb2 upgrade gone awry!

Why not check the phpbb forum?

Template issues

 

Hi Steam,
it seems that you made the upgrade but forgot to include among the templates the one called Charcoal2, just move that template from the old forum to the new one or...

do what I usually do when an error like that strike (I mean I forgot I have using a different template as the Subsilver, so, just rename your Sulsilver folder to Charcoal2 and then you could enter easily to your admin page.

Sergio.

 

Ohhhh, I forgot... try to update to 2.0.13, the other versions below 13 has a security hole.

Regards,
Sergio.

 

I would definately do some reading on the phpBB.com site instead of coming here for phpBB help. Personally I would tell you to upgrade to SMF and be done with the phpBB issues.

 

Hey SteamTrainz

log into phpmyadmin select the database of your forum
find the tables phpbb_config scroll down to override_user_style and make sure its set to one 1 , then go to the second page of phpbb_config and find default_style and change it to 1 which will give you the default theme , at least you'll be able to access your forum now , just go into the admin of phpbb2 and either fix or install the template you like using

Just had to help one of my customers today to fix his forum :D
