JD, since the patches are only file updates (and not db updates), uplaoding the full latest version (sans the mainfile.php) will ensure ALL the files are up-to-date. That's a much surer way of upgrading then restoring the old version and patching it. Especially in this situation.

Reupload all files from a fresh copy of your current version, over writing what is on the server.

I´m very afraid of doing that since I tried this in other websites and I totally lost them...

I think I could try first reuploading the important files, and not all, since my problem seems to be very specific, I remember you: It´s just that there´s no theme... Check it here: http://www.filipensesachao.com and even If I change of theme, it happens nothing

THANKS!!

People are trying to help, if you just keep saying 'don't want to do that' nobody will be able to help you AND people will start ignoring you... Not exactly what you want!

Actually your XOOPS installation is just fine, you just messed up the theme by editing it with Frontpage. When will people learn that Frontpage is not a editor for decent websites...

The solution:
- Download XOOPS 2.0.13.1
- Upload and overwrite everything EXCEPT mainfile.php
- Check or the themes are back to there original version!
- Empty the templates_c map

You site should now be fixed.

Yes, it can be the problem, but the thing is that it was working since June... and now if I change the theme, the site doesn´t change...

Somebody said that before doing that I should recover my site. So which solution should I apply?

One little question about Xoops: When I work with a site, Do the files get modified or just the database?
I mean, If I replace the original files, Does it change anything?

THANKS A LOT TO EVERYONE and sorry If I disturb you

You probably messed up your default theme (not probably, you did) but did not empty the templates_c map so it still kept working with the cache of the correct theme.

This one, just do. Just DON'T forget to NOT overwrite mainfile.php.

Database of course, why do you think people keep saying you have to overwrite your files?

So the answer is no.

The of course exceptions. If you use for example a module for displaying pictures, the pictures are of course saved locally and not in the database (imagine...).

Goodluck & don't forget to backup.

I´m writting here (the same topic) cos it´s the same problem as the one I had at the beginning of the topic

Today I´ve realised that the 3rd and the last website I had working with xoops, has the same error as the 1st one I talked you about:

Warning: main(/var/www/html/virtual/filipensesachao.com/www/profesj/html/include/common.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/virtual/filipensesachao.com/www/profesj/html/mainfile.php on line 95

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/var/www/html/virtual/filipensesachao.com/www/profesj/html/include/common.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/html/virtual/filipensesachao.com/www/profesj/html/mainfile.php on line 95

One important thing is that the 1st and this websites were created directly from the control panel of my hosting website, which supports to install xoops, so it´s a different version than the 2nd damaged website (the one with the theme problem)

I´m really desesperated since in one week I´ve lost the work of months

THANKS :(

Very probably I´m not talking about hacking, since this 3rd website was unknown for the 2 first ones users...

And talking about backuping, If I understand well, I just need to backup the database, and the uploads folder (for the pics), right??

Thanks!

Hope someone suggest something for the 1st and the 3rd lost websties. For the one with the theme folder I´ll try to fix it as you say.

And custom themes of you have those (at least, working ones

).

Like I told you: backup and then upload the currect version and overwrite everything except mainfile.php.

Imposible to update modules

I forgot to tell you that I solved the problem with my site http://www.filipensesachao.com (I think It was a theme problem), but I stll can fix the other 2 sites problems...

Anyway, The reason of this message is that since I fixed the problem of that site (The main one I have), overwritting all files with the 2.0.13 version ones, I enter in the adminstration area and everything works fine except the option of "updating modules", which I can´t even see it (I just can see the modules I have installed, but nothing else below them...)

Any ideas on how to recover it? I need it now since I want to install a new module and update an old one...

THANKS!!

It seems there are no answers for my las messages,

Appart from updating modules, my main problem is that when I change something in the admin area, I can´t enter into the admin area again till I enter in phpmyadim and I change the value language into english (I use to use spanish), and I can access again, and I also can see the "updating modules" option...

I overwritted the 2.0.13 spanish core language files again several times, but still the same problem...
