Please have your system admin check out the error_log file on your server - some systems have it located in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log though this can vary.

In the subject it shows "updated" but in here it looks like there isn't anything wrong. Which is it? If I download it again is it fixed?

There were no error showing in the logs.

thanks

Hi there,
I would love to get this working on a forum I'm intending to upgrade later to vB5.x . I'm using 5.0.4 at the moment.

I installed following the instructions (now actually for the 4th time after restoring) but when I click on the Arcade option, it's just showing me the forum index again (but without the usual 'NEW TOPICS
WHO'S ONLINE
MARK CHANNELS READ
MEMBER LIST' at the top before the Forum Index is shown.

Any ideas please?

I was thinking maybe it's something to do with a mod rewrite type thing / route parameter thing but I still can't find it. Alternatively, maybe I'm missing a file.

I hope you can suggest some other things I can look into.

Hopeful thanks in advance

I am currently in the process of re-testing our mods for 5.0.4 compatibility.

Meanwhile, you may be able to fix it by clicking Repair Cache in the AdminCP - that will install the necessary elements on the page.

Hi Fillip,

Thanks very much for your reply.

I did try the Repair Cache on the AdminCP for the Arcade and I tried the Clear System Cache but unfortunately, it still shows the forum.

Incidentally, it's installed on a subdomain rather than www. (just in case that makes a difference).

Thanks
Gene

I don't think it would, it's probably an issue with installing the new page content. We'll see once the update is live
