I don't understand. I just tried to add new forums using Admin panel, and no one new forum displayed. I can see new forums in the jforum_forums table, but they don't display!!!

What's wrong with JForum?

Please help!

You should try to re-apply perms to your group (i.e. admin)

Are you running jforum 2.1.6? it was supposed to handle these issues related to mysql 3.23.x, if the web-inf/config is writable.

Anyway, go to web-inf/config/database/mysql and copy all contents of the file mysql_323.sql over mysql.sql

It will solve your problem

Hi Rafael,
this helped, thanks.

I currently run MySQL 3.23.58 and tried JForum 2.1.6 on developer's machine.
Questions:
1. What MySQL version JForum 2.1.6 can support ? Can I run the last 5.x MySQL?
2. How to migrate MySQL 3.23.58 JForum database to the newer MySQL version?

Thanks
Evgeny

I suggest to use mysql 4.0.27, or any other from the 4.0.x series. There are some problems with character encoding in mysql 4.1 and 5.0 (hard core stuff, no fix available yet).

A regular mysql_dump script is all you need.
