Hi, i have created a backup from my old forum.

Hi there,

Had the same problem .. i don't have a sollution, but i do have a way that i fixed it.

Backup you mysql phpBB data folder ( name it phpbb_backup or what ever ) .. remove it now .. remove all the phpBB files on your webserver.

Unzip the phpBB installation files again on your webserver, create a new database in the Mysql Server.
Install the new phpBB again on the new created database ( e.g. phpbb ) then transfer all the data you backed up back to the new database via phpmyadmin ( this offcourse if you had allot of data stored in you previous forum .. if you don't i really suggest to reinstall it .. that will make things work ( remove mysql phpbb database, phpBB files on webserver )

Hoop this will help you al little bit
