Topic: Sorry! The page could not be loaded.

Hello,
After years of having punbb on my homeserver i am migrating to a hoster. I installed the latest punbb, 1.4.4 there and tried to import an sql dump. My version is only 1.3.4 (forgot to check, stupid) AND mine was sql but the hoster has mariadb and they said i had to remove the Create from the sql dump because they didn't allow that. It got kind of confusing and the guy at the hosting said he would help me if i gave him my .sql dumps.

Now at first it seems it worked but if you click on a post you get.

This is probably a temporary error. Just refresh the page and retry. If problem continues, please check back in 5-10 minutes.

The forum is on a temporary url here http://jeancok266.266.axc.nl/forum/

Any ideas? I could start with a fresh install again, it's just that i have to tell everybody to register again.

1. Go back to version 1.3.4 (recover from backup)
2. Download the latest version of pinbb from GitHub https://github.com/punbb/punbb/archive/master.zip
3. Replace your files on the server with files from the archive
4. Run the file /admin/db_update.php
5. Update all installed extensions to the latest version

Thanks for your help!
I don't understand step 1. On my homeserver i still have 1.3, the hoster already has the latest version.

I wrote the order of updating punbb.

Then edit the file config.php:

//define('FORUM_DEBUG', 1);

-->

define('FORUM_DEBUG', 1);

to see the detailed text of the error.

Thanks!
I get: Database reported: Unknown column 'u.avatar' in 'field list' (Errno: 1054).
I checked and there are other fields missing so i guess i have to reinstall fresh.
