Question [Solved] K 1.5.6, CB 1.2.1: CB plugin prevents access to forum (Frontend/Backend)

K 1.5.9 has only been available for the past two weeks. What are you talking about? :S

what are the TB tables - i could do a repair or optimize? or what ever you guys suggest..

then if that don't work i can uninsall and upgrade to the newest version..

thanks for help.. more will follow..

What we suggest is that you stay clear of the SQL tables if you don't know what you're doing. See How To Destroy your forum data...

You don't need to uninstall K 1.5.6 in order to upgrade to K 1.5.9.

I never said i put on the newest one i'm using an older version..

I'm sorry, I'm having difficulty understanding what you want to do.

If you are asking "Can I patch up K 1.5.6?" I think you've shot your bolt.

If you are asking "Can I successfully repair my SQL database tables?" I am but a mere mortal and I don't know what you've done.

If you are asking "Can I install the latest version of Kunena (K 1.5.9) to fix my problems?" You can install the latest version but I have no idea whether this will work.

If you are asking "Can I return to a previously working version?" have you got a previously working version?

I'm trying to chase a moving target here. Sorry.

At the moment we're staring at a train wreck: our first priority is to get as many bodies out of there as we can (preferably alive) but, as in any disaster, we may not be able to save everyone. The goal of any disaster recovery operation is to restore operations to as close as possible what they were like before the disaster struck. Sometimes that's as easy as restoring from a very recently-taken backup; sometimes, though, your last backup might have been made a week ago (or a month ... or more) and so, by recovering, you'll miss out on the last week (or month's) postings. C'est la vie. Your first priority is to save what you can. Sometimes this may involve quarantining your website to allow you time to conduct your salvaging operations without the interference of onlookers. We can worry about preventing disasters in future (by upgrading your software) another time ... but, perhaps, an upgrade may help ...

How can I help you better?

Ok this is what I did

I first tired to re-intall 1.5.6 NO LUCK

Then i Tired to upgrade to 1.5.9 NO LUCK - admin component screen is just blank

So i tired this

1. BACKED up OLD Table (beofre i did antying even reinstall 1.5.6)
2. REMOVED Data Base tables
3. Delete by hand (FTP) admin component and component dir's
4. Installed 1.5.9 (worked)
5. can get into my admin section and the live forums..
6. I have my old backups how do i know but back my config and my Forums and all the content that was there before?
