Ok Frank

I got some sleep and I am well rested so let us tackle this varmint.

As I said I backed up the forum and downloaded it, and I am now ready to repeat the process.

Upgrade failed again same error.

Your instructions from last night Check if the DB is running. Log in to the ACP and check your database settings (Global Settings Manager), check the Error Log Viewer for errors and try to rebuild the theme.

It sounds like you expect me to do this before I reinstall the software and restore the backup, and that would be great if I could do that, unfortunately all I get is the error msg. so let's clarify that 1st.

Is it possible to access the admin panel separately?
No it is not as far as I know, but according to the searches I have done it should be via http://your_forum_url/adm/ I used http://piasa.info/adm/ specifically with a variety of adm.php files and received the exact same error as before, I have never been able to log in directly to the admin control panel except on those few occasions when I was kicked out and asked to log in again (usually after changing setting regarding avatars) or when I have closed the forum for maintenance even though I have tried.


Toggle Spoiler


For now I will reinstall Piasa from scratch, and restore the backup, so we can continue.
