Hi

I recently tried to upgrade my site to XOOPS 2.2. It di not work, see: https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=42702&forum=1&post_id=186973#forumpost186973

No I have tried to recreate my old site by deleted all the site and uploading it again from the backup files. But it won't work! Please help! I have a few hundred impatient user waiting for me to get it up running again...

I get this error message when trying to enter the site:

Warning [Xoops]: Smarty error: problem writing temporary file '/home/dreng/public_html/gimle/templates_c/43534b8629824' in file class/smarty/Smarty.class.php line 1042

make sure your /templates_c/ folder is writable (chmod 777).

XOOPS 2.2 has a different database structure compared to 2.0.x tho, did you restore the database from the backup as well, or is that still in the 2.2.x sructure?

OK, thanks! I should have thought of that... Now I can view the site and log in as an admin. But when trying to go to the admin section (to make the site public for reg users again) I get the message that its the first time I use the Admin section!

Then, when trying to continue to Admin:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phpdefine() in /home/dreng/public_html/gimle/modules/iMenu/language/english/modinfo.php on line 1"

I am most greaatful for your help...

the /cache/ folder and /uploads/ folder need to be writable as well. The message about your first time admin is because the /cache/admin,emu.php file isn't there yet, the system will create it when it is missing, and that is the message you get when it does that.

The second error message I don't know, as I'm not familiar with the iMenu module. Make sure you have the complete module uploaded tho, it may be a missing file or something.

OK, fixed that. But I still can't figure out why I cant go to the admin section and why I get the error message about iMenu.
