Hi - I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me figure this out.
What I have is this (on an old server):
FUDForum 2.0.5, Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.1.2, MySQL 3.23.49
What I want to go to is this (on the new server):
FUDForum 2.7.5, Apache 2.0.54, PHP 5.0.4, MySQL 4.1.20
My upgrade process was this:
- export forum data via mysqldump
- rsync over the /forums/ and data folders, keeping the locations the same between servers
- altered $WWWROOT in GLOBALS.php to use the new server name
- the domain name is remaining the same, so $COOKIE_DOMAIN remains untouched
- copied the 2.7.5 upgrade.php to /forums/ and did a chmod 666
- performed a chown -R apache:apache on the /forums/ and data folders
- ran the upgrade - there were no errors to the browser, the data/errors/ directory or the webserver log files
- logged in as my admin user and ran the database consistency checks
Then when I go to look at any message in any thread on the upgraded forum, each is corrupted in exactly the same way. Each message appears to contain however many bytes it should be long, but made up entirely of the data from data/messages/msg_1
In one of my upgrade attempts, I even tried the compact messages tool, but it makes no difference to the end result.
I've started from scratch at least 10 times now, and always the end result is the same.
I've looked through the forums for any mention of others having similar issues, but not found anything. Has anyone experienced this before, or can give me advice to what I might be missing from this upgrade?
Thanks.

On this most recent attempt, yes. However, doing so (or not) has not made any difference to the end result (ie, the corruption)
Quote: | Also, I see the private file is not empty, implying presence of private messages in the forum, do those messages appear correctly?
|
That I'm not sure of, since I don't know which users on the system may have private messages.
