Hi all,
i just installed ExpressionEngine v 1.6.7 with godaddy host.
installed the Discussion Forum Module 2.1.1.

when clicking on visit forums in the control panel it is sending me to the website home instead of the forums home.

any ideas?
thanks,

Sol

Sol,

First of all I would advise you to upgrade your version of EE and your version of the Discussion forum

What do you have set for Forum URL under General Setting in your Forum Board Preferences
CP Home ›  Modules ›  Discussion Forum ›  forums ›  Forum Board Preferences

Hi John,
I will upgrade later, i just need to do some testing before.

the forum url under General Setting is http://mydomain.com/installfolder/index.php/forums/

thank you
Sol

Very good. Let us know how you get along.

I just purchased the upgrades for 2. version and the forum module and didn’t get the download link.
can you look into it?

thanks,
Sol

Hi, Sol8 - Can you please email sales including what payment method you used (ie: did you pay via PayPal?)

Will do…thank you Lisa.

Let us know how you get on, please 😊

Hi,
I am having a proBlem with the upgrade.
I can’t start the update wizard process, i keep getting HTTP 500 error.

I followed the Installation and Update Instructions http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/installation/update_from_1.x.html

please HELP!

Sol

A 500 error is always the server’s fault. Do you have access to the error logs? They should be able to tell us a little more.

No, i am working on buying the full version and make a clean install.

i guess i pointed the browser to the wrong location.

here is the error that i am getting now:
Your config file does not appear to be formatted correctly.

sol8,

Have you run the installation wizard (step 6)? Are you installing EE 1.6.9 or EE 2.1.0?

ok i got my old version to work with this fix:
alter the $qtype command located near the top of the index.php file in your main site folder. It is most likely set at “0.” Change it to “2” and all the links in your template should work fine.

thanks for all your help!
Sol

Hi - sol8 - glad to hear you figured this out.  You are all set now?
