Can anyone tell me how to copy the configuration (fonts, colors, etc) from my test server to my live server? I copied the database (SQL Server) and the ASP files, but my configuration is somehow missing. Is the configuration stored in application variables?
I searched the forum but didn't find any clues.
Anyway, if anyone can help me, please do.
Cheers,
Marco |

| Try running setup.asp. That should set the forum colors for you... |

So there is no easy way to "backup" and "restore" the configuration? In my opinion the configuration should be stored in the database...
Can anyone confirm that this configuration is stored in application variables? If so, then what happens if you restart IIS? |

| The config IS saved in the database. Running the setup simply will reload the application variables. Restarting IIS will probably do the same thing.... |

Are you sure about that? There is a FORUM_CONFIG_NEW table in the database, but it doesn't contain color or font settings. Can you tell me in what table the configuration is stored?
And when I run setup.asp, I get an error message on the live server (don't ask me what error message, because the live server is at work and the test server is at home... and I am at home at the moment). |

| FORUM_CONFIG_NEW SHOULD contain the forum color info. Look for STRPAGEBGCOLOR, STRDEFAULTFONTCOLOR, STRLINKCOLOR, etc in the C_VARIABLE field. The C_VALUE should be the other values. |

Well, likely the error you are getting when you run setup is why the config isn't getting reloaded on the server. You should track down whatever the error is before troubleshooting downstream errors.

F*ckadoodledoo... now I know what went wrong...
I cleared my SQL Server forum tables (ALL tables) some time ago to start with a really fresh forum. After that I ran the administrative tool to configure the colors & fonts. These are now only stored in the application variable. That's why it works fine on the test server and I cannot get it to work on the live server.
Thanks a lot Dave! I spent quite some time looking at the tables / ASP source... |
