Hi
I've been using XOOPS for about 3 years with great success and I really think it's great, however since I had my 'host' assist in upgrading to 2.13 I've had nothing but trouble. The 'host' has also attempted to update 'image gallery' with no success.
I really think the problems have arose due to the way the site was upgraded.
I've given up on any more assistance from the host provider and am seeking assistance from someone with 'greater knowledge" (hopefully from Australia to chat). Feel free to contact through PM or email.
Thanks all.

Have you thought about getting something like WAMP Server and learning the upgrade and doing on your own pc first...
Also if you need help, my sites chat is there if any Xoopers are congregating....

It helps if you describe the problems better.

Might also help others, if answers are given in the forums.

Yeh and search Xoops.org first and then search engines for things as a lot has been answered already...especially on here

Before posting please do a search in the XOOPS top right "Search" box using appropriate "keywords" and find out if the subject has been dealt with before. Also look through the FAQ’s, especially if you're unsure what search words to use.

I couldn’t find any related issues by searching what next?


Turn on debug:
To switch on debug, go to system admin-->preferences and then general settings. You will see a "Debug mode" field. Choose "PHP Debug". Then go to the page that has problems and copy and paste any error messages under php-debug messages in the template below.
When posting any debug messages please 'wrap' the message like this: Use the word 'code' in square brackrets [] and at the end put /code in square brackets.

Remember this when you post

Posts like ‘I have a blank page’ will generally be ignored. Not because we don’t want to help, but because we can’t with such a small amount of information.
