UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? How come????

How come I had 40 boards, but after upgrading to 6.04c, there are only 9 boards left? What's wrong?

Hopefully you have a backup copy of vars_forums.cgi... it sounds like you copied over the one you had.

If you are upgrading a version 6+ forum, you don't have to upload that file, or it'll run over your forums each time....

u're right... I did that.
so, is there any way for me to upgrade again?

yes, just redo the upgrade but this time don't upload vars_forums.cgi

I did. And it says that the upgrade has been done and nothing else can be done. so bad.

I feel your pain since the instruction didn't state anything of a sort about this "vars" file. But anyhow, I have upgraded from 5.47d to 6.04 and at one point I didn't any of my forums. This was after rebuilding the boards. So had to do the whole process again. But I do recall from the other server I was upgrading the board that I did in fact, overwrote that file and I clicked on the UBB5 upgrade and it worked. It seemed to me that it's looking for the date.pl file when I moved the board over to another server.

how to redo?

I think that if you dont have any backup you cant go back sorry man....
