Support > Install and Upgrade
wrecked my forum installing 2.3.6 upgrade
Phåråoh:
I understand that uninstalling SMF and then reinstalling it fresh is the fix.
Should I install 2.0.11? I had 2.0.10
By "custom file edits" I assume you mean any code hacks done which are not mod related; direct code changes in the files themselves. If that's what you mean, I don't have any. I stopped doing that a long time ago because of the headaches it caused every time there was an SMF upgrade.

Phåråoh,
They are instructing you to use the SMF 2.0.11 Large Upgrade Package.
You do not "uninstall" anything as this process will render your forum in a default state although it will not affect your database.
ref. http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_2-0-11_upgrade.zip
You unzip the file & upload all its contents to your main forum directory and let it overwrite any files.
Then you run it via your url & the upgrade.php file.
ie. http://www.classicwinnebagos.com/forum/upgrade.php
Here is the wiki instructions:

Hmm nothing in there, I'd try /Sources/Load.php and check if it loads stuff. If I can get you to the admin it would at least bring the site back up, somehow, and it's far quicker than uploading everything.
As for how to use your FTP account, download Filezilla, but please set the transfer mode (within filezilla) to binary otherwise I can guarantee you that it won't work correctly.
Phåråoh:
I figured out my problem with using the FTP. Actually, I didn't need to use it because I figured out my problem using the host built in unzip. I just needed to chmod the zip to 777.
I executed the upgrade successfully AND the theme I was using is there, and so are all the mods!
And, I assume I am now able to add the current version of SP?
♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦:
If you uploaded the whole archive it will show the mods as installed, but nearly none of them are *actually* installed. They show as if they are installed because the database says so, but it doesn't know you re-uploaded SMF.
If you uploaded SMF with fresh files you need to manually check each mod as uninstalled, with this tool: http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=fix_packages.php when you download it, upload it onto your server and point your browser to it manually. After you have done that, mark all mods as uninstalled (ignore smf update packages).
When you're done you can start reinstalling everything, and if it was me, I'd uninstall the theme and re-install it first (to remove any leftovers from mods), then proceed with mods (including SimplePortal 2.3.6).
Regards
