If I understand you correctly, you made a change to your Configuration Settings before you upgraded:

Kunena Configuration » Basics » Forum Offline = Yes

Then you upgraded to K 1.5.11. Then you went back to your Kunena control panel to re-enable your forum, i.e., to change the Configuration settings as follows:

Kunena Configuration » Basics » Forum Offline = No

Then, when you press Save, you got the error messages. Is that correct? Don't worry, we'll get your forum running again. :)

There are a few tricks we can so to get your forum running again. One way is to change the database directly without using the Kunena control panel. This is, of course, a risky procedure: see How To Destroy your forum data... . As long as you are aware of the risks involved, we could proceed down that path.

The second approach is to look at what might have gone wrong. I suspect that your installation procedure didn't complete successfully. Did you, by any chance, make a backup of your website just before you installed K 1.5.11?

We've had one or two questions asked recently about problems with "incomplete" Kunena installations, more questions than I've seen asked in relation to previous versions of Kunena, and I'm wondering whether there is any commonality between them. Which installation kit did you use? ZIP or TAR? I prefer to use ZIP kits - I've never had a problem with them. I'll get back to you as soon as I find what DB table and field is responsible for disabling your Kunena forum.

The setting that is responsible for controlling if your Kunena forum is online or offline is controlled by the table jos_fb_config (there is only one record in this table) by the column board_offline. The normal value for board_offline is 0. Changing this value with phpMyAdmin may get your forum running again, however I strongly suspect that your installation of K 1.5.11 is suspect or incomplete and you could be heading into uncharted territory as far as providing your users with a stable, reliable forum. It all depends on what kind of risks you are prepared to take.
