User notes
I tried running upgrade.php for the smf version i am using, with all mods disabled but it failed to run, right now I am stuck in how to proceed, it seems to be a database problem related to tinyportal upgrade not being done properly.

And because the site is pretty much an archive these days the upgrade happened a long time ago and the issue wasn't reported until recently.

I setup a test user account: Trapped Spirit pass is this mod's name with all lowercase and no spaces.

Thanks for any help in advance and for keeping this mod and its community alive.

The error message specifically states SMF version. Since Tiny portal relies on a properly functioning SMF, even though the problem is with downloading through a Tiny Portal feature, the problem is really in the SMF installation. I would try reverting back to 1.1.13 version of the files and see if the error goes away, then try upgrading again.

Thanks a lot for the reply WillyP, I have been very busy at the end of teh year and haven't found time to make the necessary downgrade and tests, will get back to you as soon as I can

Well,

After some time out of the house I am back. Tinkering around with upgrade.php didn't really give me anything. I was, however able to see a different error message by uninstalling som,e smf upgrades for the 1.1.16 branch:

Funny thing is I don't have an upgrade from 1.1.13 in my packages it starts with the upgrade from 1.1.16 to 1.1.17

Another thing I tried was applying an older version of tinyportal, in this case 0.983, which was the version i had before the current one (1.104) in my backups. It messes up with the frontpage menus because of the theme and so on, but the downloads area works again.

It seems my website currently has its database locked to the 0.983 tinyportal version, gotta check hot to upgrade it to 1.104 or 1.07 which seem to be the latest version availabel for SMF 1.1

Any ideas before I start tinkering with the website again?

I have a full backup, database and files from a while ago when I believe the files were being accessed fine.

Am I right in thinking you want to stay using SMF 1.1.xx series?

I really recommend you look into ugrading to SMF 2.0.13 and run the latest Tinyportal 1.2

You need to back up all your files though before doing this, as well a you database. I would also advise you to turn off all the blocks in TP before upgrading too, as some of your blocks might not be compatible with SMF 2.0.xx

[Nifelhein]

Usually I would, but I would rather have a fully functional website than stick with the customized theme right now.

considering that SMF 1.1* is basically no longer getting security updates, it is a security risk to be running SMF 1.1.* at this point. you can easily get hacked if an issue is found as no patches will be made to fix the issues.

[Nifelhein]

I meant to update in the near future for that exact reason, but didn't really consider that upgrading might solve this particular issue.

I will see if I can make the backups and upgrade in the near future to see if it can restore the website's functionality while also keeping it safe from hacks.
