I just tried upgrading to 10.14 from a version 9 setup. Database test connected, I received a success message after upgrade. Permissions are set, but I am getting this error now.

Server Error in Forum Application
An error initialising Global Variables from database.
Please contact the Forum Administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_mySQL_getForumConfigurationData()_read_global_variables
File Name:- global_variables_inc.asp
Forum Version:- 10.14

Error details:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.1.56-community]Table 'absolute_forum.tblsetupoptions' doesn't exist

Can anyone help. Yes it looks to me that it doesn't have that table, but I am not even seeing it in the upgrade script.

It would appear that you have not correctly updated your forums database.

Hopefully you created a backup of your database before you did the upgrade and you should restore the backup database. Then reupload the original Web Wiz Forums files so that the database upgrade wizard can run.

When upgrading make sure that you select the correct version that you are upgrading from so all the new tables are created correctly.
