During a recent unsuccessful ( so far ) attemtpt to move my FUDFORUM to a new server, I received similar error msgs ( I tried all kind of ways to restore my data to the new server ). I tried deleting ALL the tables in the database and doing a clean install. Even different versions ( I have 2.2.3, 2.3.7 and 2.3.8 ). I even deleted the mySQL database completely. Still kept getting the error msgs you also received.
I finally had to have my host (lunarpages.com) take a look at it. They did something and and fixed it so that at least I could run and instal FUDFORUM. But everytime I tried to restore my data, it would trash the mySQL database so that nothing worked. Fortunately, lunarpages took pity on my plight and "fixed" the database several times for me.
I got real good at installing FUDFORUM! and lunarpages was very patient and understanding that I was trying to get my data into a clean install.
After they "fixed" it, I could successfully install FUDFORUM ( and if I wanted to abandon all my previous members/msgs/groups/categories etc, I could have just started all over from there ). But at some point the database would become corrupted and I was not able to successfully install FUDFORUM any longer. Then I would email lunarpages to fix it and the process could start all over again.
So, contact your host and have them look at your mySQL database. They should be able to "fix" just like lunarpages fixed mine for me. If not, have them contact Kelvin at lunarpages support. He can tell them specifically what he did to fix mine. He is very good at it cause he had to do it several times for me!
I hope this works for you...I got to the point where I can see my data in the SQL tables but FUDFORUM just won't run.
