Cant make new posts after updating to 2.8 (and moving server)

Ok, maybe wasnt a smart idea to do both things at once...
But now I get a message "DraftID es requerido" and "CommentID es requerido." (Draftid / Comment ID is required in Spanish) whenever I try to post a comment.
The website is https://chinaudio.es/
Cant enable debug bar (error: Failed stopping measure 'controller' because it hasn't been started)
I even tried to return the default config file and got the error: "Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key"
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Have you tried /utility/update , utility/structure and /dba/counts?
For the moment your forum is error 500 for the moment.
Depende on the version you are using and the version you are caming from, have you followed all steps before update ?
Check in the docs, have you delete everything listed? Can you give us versions you are using and the one before update.
I actually rolled back the update to 2.6 and manage to make it work fine in the new server.
Ill try to do the update again... I had problems before importing the database, then I realize it was using Mysql 5.5
Had no problems importing to the mysql 5.7 new database.
Problem fixed, thanks for your help... the steps I followed were:
So basically started from scratch... I think the main issue was related to importing the database on a mysql5.5 one.
Good :D
The 3 utilities are useful ^^
I do not know if it's working on 2.8 but you can try this addon https://open.vanillaforums.com/addon/utilitylinks-plugin
This adds the utility links in the dashboard. (By default it's showed for all admin, I suggest to restrict access to yourself only, according to: https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/comment/224067/#Comment_224067)
The utilities are critical. Of course every step is important but they will complete the Database migration for you in most circumstances.
Occasionally for very large tables it may be necessary to manually apply some table update if you have 10s of millions of records in that table and you don’t want to put the site in maintenance mode, but for most cases the utility methods are all you need.
You are right, Vanilla 2.8 wouldn't run on MySQL 5.5
