Re: Problem With Importing Database
-----------------------------------
[quote user="slavija333" post="50921"]The previous site, we never updated the software. Now we downloaded the latest Icyphoenix and imported this database into it.[/quote]

You can't really do that, because Icy Phoenix chops and changes with regard to upgraded code and database functions. So you need to establish one thing:

What version is your database? - And if you don't know or understand how to determine that - Open [b][u]A COPY[/u][/b] of your database in an editor that's capable of handling it, and search for:

[b]ip_version[/b]

You should get something like this:

[b]('ip_version', '1.2.0.27c'),[/b]

And post your result here. ;)

Then hopefully you either have a backup of the Icy Phoenix version that you used previously - or someone can make it available - - - - - THEN you will need to go through the upgrade process to bring it up to the "Latest" version of Icy Phoenix that you have downloaded.

And providing you have the "Old" Database, and ALL of the Icy Phoenix files (Uploads and Images etc) that were part of your "Original" forum, then chances are you wont lose anything.

So - Two things:

[b]1. ip_version of your backed-up database?[/b]

[b]2. Do you have a complete backup of your "OLD" forum files?[/b]
