Foolishly, I did not keep a backup of the 1.2.2 database. So, if 1.5 has changed the DB it has not been reverted.

Dear anonymous – no wonder you got no replies – you posted on Christmas Day!

Anyway, after rolling back from 1.5 to 1.2.2 (don’t ask!) I now get an identical database error at the top of the admin options page. Has anyone else encountered this, or know why it might be occurring?

lhomme, you note that:

I previously had a problem with pages only doing “/?cat=….” without the index.php

We had been discussing this problem in this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic.php?id=26472 and I still have not found a solution. Can you let us in on what you found that allowed it to work?

hi mcangeli

Yes I found problems with using a custom theme so reverted back to the default theme (1.5 default, based on Kubrik). I can access the admin area fine. however because the domain is hosted on a Windows server there seems to be no easy way to set permissions on files (CHMOD). Attempting to set permissions from an FTP program like FileZilla or Transmit does not stick. As a result, I cannot write to the PHP files from WordPress.

lhomme, is your site on an Microsoft IIS server, or Apache?

Thanks for your reply.
There was/is no permalink structure yet (and no .htaccess file – server is IIS).
The inly index files I am aware of are at:

• /blog/index.php
• /blog/wp-content/themes/default/index.php

(using default theme until I can get the site working, of course)

Scotto15 can you please tell how you fixed your problem?

Hi there

I’ve had the same problem after upgrading from 1.2.2 to 1.5. I attempted to follow Podz’ instructions closely but something is obviously messed. I posted about it here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic.php?id=23962#post-139550 but I think the thread starter had a slightly different problem so I may have been a little OT.

Nevertheless it would be great to find out a definitive answer; other people are having similar issues.

Hi all,

After upgrade from WP 1.2.2 to 1.5 following as closely as possible to Podz’ instructions I also have the issue where index.php is never prepended to the URL argument.

Thus, mydomain.com/blog/ is blank but mydomain.com/blog/index.php loads.

Also, categories work (i.e. index.php is inserted in the URL) but comments and archives do not. If index.php is added to the URL in the correct place the page.loads correctly.

Is there an path somewhere that should be edited? Or is this a server issue as suggested by McArt144?

Possibly relevant info:
– I do not have Permalinks set up
– The blog is on an IIS server under httpdocs/blog rather than simply under /blog
– I have managed to place WP files in both locations (/blog and /httpdocs/blog) creating some confusion and I’m afraid to delete /blog until I’m certain of what’s going on

Possibly irrelevant info:
– WP does not seem to have the authorization to write to files, e.g. index.php (this might be an SQL issue arising from the upgrade, don’t know)
