I want to move my forum to a
VPS with Ubuntu 16.04
PHP 5.6 & PHP 7.0 installed
MySQL 5.7
Forum 4.2.3
What I did (with PHP 5.6):
1. Downloaded the files from the FTP
2. Put them on the new FTP server
3. Downloaded the database
4. Imported in PHPMyAdmin
- After importing I missed tables like post and users.
5. I decide to start the upgrade and uploaded the content of the "upload" folder.
6. The upgrade didn't finish because of the error:
At step 7 of the upgrade, it comes with the error:
8. Decided to copy the missing tables to the new database.
9. I was able to see the old posts and users.
10. My forum hangs at 4.2.5 Beta 1 at this moment. I don't know what to do. Accessing the forum is not a problem, but when I try to write a post it says "database error" (where can I check the error exactly?), when I try to edit a post I get the error:
Invalid %1$s specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.
I don't know what to do now. What is the best practice to move my forum? Why didn't the import succesfully import the table post / users and other largest tables and skipped them? I don't have a limit for importing.
All the limits are changed in the php.ini file.
