Question HTTP 500 Internal Server Error: Table 'xxx_finder_types' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT 'id' FROM 'xxx_finder_types' WHERE 'title' = 'Category'

Hello everyone! Help me please to solve these problem:
I have a site www.pescar.md and a forum here .
when people trying to submit a comment an error appear.

recently, i have restored my site from a 5 day old backup... before this, everything was great!

any help will be welcome!
thx in advance!

I'm going to take a really wild stab in the dark.

You're using AceSEF? There is no table _finder_types in Kunena. I even suspect that you may be using J! 1.5 (but I cannot be sure without seeing your configuration report). See forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2866703#p2866703

no i dont have AceSEF. i have used sh404sef. and recently i have unninstaled it.
i use joomla 2.5x
thx for reply

p.s. from an older database backup i noticed that all database with „finder” prefix are present
may i export these to new database?

p.p.s. as a risk man, i did this and it works very well!

Now I want to know why was that?
and... thanks for support, Kunena is something wonderful!

I have no knowledge of what Joomla extensions install or use the table _finder_types. This, to me, does not seem to be a Kunena issue. It could be a Joomla issue, perhaps? (See joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker...racker_item_id=27513 )

I see that you have removed the "Powered by Kunena" link at the bottom of your forum; this makes things difficult for us to offer you guidance or support if you make changes to the Kunena surce code. There is nothing wrong with removing the "Powered by Kunena" link, of course, but you may have made other changes that affect the safe operation of your forum without realising it.

Because you have decided to not share your configuration report with us, diagnosing the cause of the problem is made more difficult for us.

There is no table _finder_types used by any version of Kunena.

When you say you are using "J! 2.5x", that could mean anything. Likewise, you have not informed us what specific version of Kunena you are using, also. Your configuration report gives us that information. When you ask questions about problems you are having with Kunena on this forum, it helps to include your configuration report when you ask them.

As I said earlier, I was taking a wild guess as to what might be the cause of your problem. I am still guessing now.

You need to have the tables #__finder_* in your database, so just re-inject them with your backup
