Unserialize error after 2.0.17 updated to 2.1.11

camstudio

'Successfully' updated my forum from 2.0.17 to 2.1.11 (i.e. nothing blew up) - got the reindex theme/plugin cache notifications after submitting the update URL (no biggie)

Logged back in and I got the following "unserialized" error at the very top of the Plugins list screen

Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 29 of 36 bytes in /home/USER/public_html/forum/library/core/class.format.php on line 1502 on Plugins screen

and at the bottom I see:

Debug Trace

I tried disabling all plugins - no joy.

Any thoughts anyone?

peregrine

can you post your config.php (remove any private info).

does it go away when you turn off debugging.

wild guess troubleshooting....

Do you have aything like ['Garden']['Required'] ...... in your config.php?
if so, try deleting it.

or

disable all your plugins.
then you might try zipping up your plugins folder and saving it (deleting the plugins folder completely and re-copying from the core plugin.

camstudio

I've tried disabling all the plugins = no change.

Here is the forum config: http://pastebin.com/Y4vi8zX7

Yes, the error messages are removed when debug is set to FALSE

I'll try deleting, redownloading and reinstalling the plugins from scratch to see if that fixes anything.

I suspect you can delete this and it will fix your problem.

$Configuration['Garden']['RequiredUpdates'] = 'O:8:"stdClass":1:{s:2:"ok";s:30:"";}';

you can also delete these or change to unserialized if you want to order them.

$Configuration['Modules']['Vanilla']['Content'] = 'a:6:{i:0;s:13:"MessageModule";i:1;s:7:"Notices";i:2;s:21:"NewConversationModule";i:3;s:19:"NewDiscussionModule";i:4;s:7:"Content";i:5;s:3:"Ads";}';
$Configuration['Modules']['Conversations']['Content'] = 'a:6:{i:0;s:13:"MessageModule";i:1;s:7:"Notices";i:2;s:21:"NewConversationModule";i:3;s:19:"NewDiscussionModule";i:4;s:7:"Content";i:5;s:3:"Ads";}';

e,g, to look like this form...

$Configuration['Modules']['Vanilla']['Content'] = array("MessageModule","NewConversationModule","NewDiscussionModule","Content","Ads");

but you probably don't need them at all

you could adjust this to current version just for cosmetic reasons.

$Configuration['Conversations']['Version'] = '2.0.17.10';

after you do all that. I would disable All of your addons via the dashboard, and then re-enable via the dashboard.

then I would reset the inviteroles as well.

peregrine

after you do above...

you can delete this as well

$Configuration['Plugins']['BotStop']['Question'] = 'xxxx';
$Configuration['Plugins']['BotStop']['Answer1'] = 'xxxx';
$Configuration['Plugins']['BotStop']['Answer2'] = 'xxxx';

since you are not using botstop, and add registration question is a more up to date plugin that does the same thing. Botstop has older 2.0 views, and can cause other plugins that fight for registration views to break.

camstudio

Thanks will do. Plugins just deleted, about to redownload but will make the config changes you suggested first.

Update to follow.

camstudio

Made all changes - commenting out the "$Configuration['Garden']['RequiredUpdates']" line got rid of the unserialized error.

Going to redownload all the plugins and "Add Registration Question" and hopefully be back up and running.

Will update again shortly.

camstudio

Yep looks like everything is back up and running. Many thanks for your help Peregrine.
