Upgrade from 3.0.RC5 to 3.0.4

Post by rady »

I messed it up. Real bad. (i think)
Basically what i did was get the update from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 (thinking that it will work) and updated (files and database). After deleting the install folder, the forum index (and every other page) was treating me with a nice error from the functions_contents.php if i can recall well.
I decided to get a fresh copy of 3.0.4 and upload it, keeping it connected to the old database. After doing that, it all seemed to be ok, the forum was working well and all, i could surf the forums, post replies but when trying to start a new thread i only got this beautiful error message (see attachement)
I ran a database update, and it said database was fine. Still, when trying to get a new topic, same result.

Has anyone ever confronted with such thing? Any ideas on how to fix?

Problem persists. I noticed that the topic_last_post_subject field is BLOB and i've read on another forum that it should be varchar 255.
Could that be a problem?

Did you actually run the SQL queries that it outputs?

No. That just shows you the results.
You need to run those results in the database.
This will cause the script to scan your database and then provide the correct schema for your MySQL version. As such it will output a list of SQL queries which can

* Be run all in one go via phpmyadmin
* Or run via the MySQL console
* Or given to the host to run.

Try running all of them except the one for the posts table.
