phpbb/phpnuke problem

[jadzia]

I am working on redoing my site with phpnuke. Today I was working on the forums that are built into it. I got the forum set up, and created my categories and forums. I then tried to do a full backup on the current phpbb forums that I have running now. I got the backup downloaded, and in the phpbb admin area of the new boards, went to restore. I uploaded the file, and it said it was successful. It wasn't. I was trying to pull the theme from the forums and the posts, members, etc, to the new forum. When that didn't work, I set up my own style stuff through the phpbb admin panel, and got that looking pretty much how I wanted. I tried a data back up of the original forums, and when I tried to upload that I got this message.

Error importing backup file

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1062 Duplicate entry '2' for key 1

INSERT INTO tripleh_categories (cat_id, cat_title, cat_order) VALUES('2', 'Triple H', '30')

Line : 1017
File : /home/triplehf/public_html/thf/html/modules/Forums/admin/admin_db_utilities.php

Any ideas on how I can fix this? And can I restore the data from one forum to the other? Help please!

Fix -

Download this file and replace modules/Forums/admin/admin_ug_auth.php with this one.
http://www.nukeresources.com/downloa...ons_fix_1.html

If that doesn't work, download and run this file. Upload it to modules/Forums/
http://www.nukeresources.com/downloa...ons_fix_2.html

Thanks Spear. That got rid of the error. I tried restoring the backup from the other forum again, and it said it restored successfully. It didn't. I tried backing up the new forum, on a suggestion from Jazzee, and deleted all the categories and stuff from the forum. (her thinking was that the restore might only work on an empty forum). That gave me the error from before. So I reran the page from the second fix. That fixed that error. But when I tried to restore the backup file for the new forum, I got this error

Error importing backup file

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '

I know I'm a pain, but I'm trying to learn this stuff. All I wanted to do was restore my categories... I can redo them by hand, but I wanted to get this error fixed first.

Thanks in advance.

PHP-Nuke is the root of all evil. Poorly coded, poor architecture, bad security, re-occuring bugs.

Well, people on that forum aren't much help. No one has posted at all.

The reason I'm trying phpnuke is because I wanted something more interactive and centralized for my site. I'd like to get my site's popularity back up to where it once was. I used to get over 1000 visitors a week, which wasn't bad for a site on Angelfire with no real advertizing, just a few listings in directories, and a few results on search engines.

Also, I read that phpnuke could be interfaced with a php gallery, which I have. How would I go about doing this? You don't need to go into detail here if you don't want, but just give me an idea of where I could find the info. I'm not familiar with the phpnuke resources yet.

Thanks bunches.

are you trying to use this: http://gallery.menalto.com/ gallery software? because if you are... it works seemlessly as is. all you have to do is install it into the nuke system (mods or blocks... whatever they are called)... I tried phpnuke and postnuke out for about a week each, and the gallery worked like a charm.

might try looking around the http://gallery.menalto.com/ site for the topic... but I think there are readme files that come with the download.

good luck.

Thanks JuggoPop! I'll check that out.

there are other easier to work with portals than phpnuke out there.

look at phpbb.com at their portal forum for some alternatives
also, a MOD is available for phpBB that lets you have a gallery for it.

luck,
