A completely clean install works fine. So there has to be something about my pre-existing installation that is causing a problem.
I've read everything, it's crazy (and no one will read phpinfo with those terrible colors)
-if something is happening with your previous install, it looks to me like if files weren't over writing the correct way, there is a CHMOD problem, or your theme has something wrong.
- if a completely clean install is working why not do the following:
A) put all the modules of your previous version into the new clean install
B) Do a ONLY DATA backup of your previous site
C) Go to phpMyAdmin, go to the database of the new working site, select all tables, and EMPTY them DO NOT DROP-ERASE- them
D) Upload to the database of the new working site the data backup of the previous site
F) Upload the previous theme you had, any custom images - banners -etc to their respective folders
E) All should be ok now. You should have a new site with the latest XOOPS version with the same data as the previous version and you should be able to login as admin the same way as before
I hope to not have missed any important step
, anyways you have nothing to lose, you should take care in step B though.
