Still no luck

Ok, here is how it goes:
- I enter SQLiteManager
- I add a new Database (name it the same as my database is named and browse, select and upload the database-file)
- I can now browse this database.
- Everything seems fine.

But I don't get the same info as I can see if I open the file with notepad. When I open the database with notepad, all IP's listed in there are my "old one", but every post is in it (all new as well), so it got to be my working database? Tho, in SQLiteManager o_base_url and all other rows containing a url are set with my new IP. This confuses me, as I can't change it to the IP I currently have, couse it allready is!
So, since I don't know any other way, I export the file. Now, when opening the database, all the IP's are as the old one again.
As I said, confusing

So, next question: When I export, what happends? Couse none of the files I see accually update (looking at the database itself and the file created in the SQLiteManager folder when I add a database there).

Are you sure I should now check any of the options when exporting?

Again:
Structure : 
[ ] Add "DROP"

Data : 
[ ] Complete inserts

--------------------

[ ] send   [ ] CRLF

Sorry for beeing back bothering you, but I really want to get this to work

When changing $db_type to mysqli I get this when trying to open the forum again:

This PHP environment doesn't have Improved MySQL (mysqli) support built in. Improved MySQL support is required if you want to use a MySQL 4.1 (or later) database to run this forum. Consult the PHP documentation for further assistance.

Also, I tried to import the "forum2" file I had into the phpMyAdmin thingie, getting the error that it's a sqlite DB.

It might just be me, but I didn't quite understand how I manage the sqlite DB? When using that program you spoke of, I needed to import the DB's. With phpMyAdmin I can log in and get to this page with easy overview over the databases etc. I wonder if there is any way to log into the sqlite thingie in any simular way?

This is getting more and more complicated, hehe.

Hmmmm, I don't know if I'm accually importing it anywhere. When I push "Export" I get a new file (forum2.sql) that I replace the forum2-file I have in my / with. How else do I import anything?

And what should I be using mysql for? (Does SQLite count as MySQL?) And how?

It's accually running on a QNap NAS server. I have a Linux box as well (the one I spoke of from ~2000) but failed installing php on that one, so the NAS was a easy solution for me. It got phpMyAdmin and sqlite installed.

I have no idèa of what I'm talking about!

Ok, to start from scratch:
-I have a forum (with users, posts etc etc.)
-Works normal for all "normal" users.
-When I try to "upgrade" the forum with "addons" I fail because they can't access/find/write to the database.
-I do not find the database myself neighter (accessing phpMyAdmin to look for it). However there is a file called forum2 in / that "grows" over time. My guess is that this is the file that have all my data? But how to get this info into sqlite/phpMyAdmin so the computer understands it?

Does this mean I don't have a database, or is it hiding?
Can I do something about it, or do I have to let it be as it is to be able to keep all users/posts?

What will happend when I delete the config.php file? What configurations will I loose?
And what will I loose by re-installing?

Will try this once I've made a backup!
