Help.. I upgraded and now this

[SuperDave71]

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.0 Beta 1:
Invalid SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS countmessages FROM groupmessage WHERE groupid='1';
MySQL Error : Unknown column 'groupid' in 'where clause'
Error Number : 1054

Everything went fine on the upgrade but now I have an error and my forum is down. I can access the adminCP just fine but I need some help on this one.


Thanks in advance!

<Moved to correct forum.>

There is no 'groupid' field in the 3.8 groupmessage table. This is either from an add-on or old file.

To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

[Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

Next, disable all plugins.

Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

[SuperDave71]

I will do as instructed and get back ASAP.

THANK YOU!

[SuperDave71]

I have it back up but closed. I disabled all plug-ins and created a new style. Everything was looking good until I looked at the User Profiles. The use profiles regardless if you create new style show nothing but the images.

I want to get my forum up and running as soon as I can. I really appreciate your help on this matter. I have followed your instructions to the tooth.


I will be happy to give you access to anything you may need if you would like to take a look.


Thank you so much!

You need to follow all those instructions. I can't imagine this problem if you did, unless you skipped one or more steps in the upgrade.

[SuperDave71]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I followed all your instructions and though it is back up, (but closed) there are several pages that only have text, no images nor styles.



Is there a way to revert back to the latest 3.7? I have all my tables backed up.

You might try reuploading your pages again. Make sure all php pages are uploaded in ASCII and images in Binary.

If you decide to go back to whatever you were running before, you should put all the files back up for that version and then restore your backed up database. Make sure if your database is for 3.7.2, then you put your 3.7.2 files back or else you will need to run the upgrade script (like if you put 3.7.3 files up and your database is only 3.7.2).

I am reupping Latest Version: 3.7.3 Patch Level 1

Since I am downgrading, do I need to make sure my upgrade script is for 3.7.3?



I just want to be clear so there is no confusion.


I was running 3.7.3 Patch Level 1 perfectly before I upgraded. I upgraded to 3.8 and now I am going to revert back to what I had.


Thank you so much and I apologize for the confusion.

There is no way to downgrade to a older version of vBulletin. You'd have to have a database backup/dump.

Did you do that before upgrading? (backup)

[SuperDave71]

Yes, thank you. I am fully backed up. Restoring database now. This could take a while. HAHA

Yeah I might wait until 3.8 is out of beta or is it already.
