Question The upgrade to 1.5.3 issue.

well i just uninstalled the current version and then reinstalled from another archive and it seems to work .. the original archive i used was

(com_kunena_v1.5.3_stable_b1688_2009-06-15.tar)

the one i used that worked was

(com_kunena_v1.5.3_stable_b1688_2009-06-15.zip)

Well, it appears that all the tables are resent in the phpMyAdmin view. So I don't know what's going on?

Perhaps there's a need to develop a function that would look for and either install or repair the tables necessary to fix a broken kunena forum?

I'm lost with this one. Everything looks fine. I comparedthe fb_* table structures currently on my server with a backup of my database (from my local machine) and they seem to be almost the same?

So I don't know what's going on.

By the way... Is there a way to completely remove ALL of the old tables in the Joomla DB and then start completely from scratch?

Ya, I re-installed the thing about a half dozen times, eact time with different archives. I got the same thing.

Hi:

I was able to install Kunena 1.5.3 from zip archive. First trial I had a 404 when trying kunena administration. Maybe tar.gz file corrupt..

I can now access Kunena Admin Console.
