I copied all the files from the test folder to hard disk drive then uploaded them back to the root folder and imported a backup of the test mysql database into the live boards mysql database as well as changed the script_path and cookie_path back to the original values but when loading up the live board I’m getting this error

Now why would you have to remove this code? If this worked on your Test board, then it shouldn't have been a problem on your Live board either. This code is there for a reason too, so you have removed a little security protection by removing this code...

| Hmmm, yeah it the Test Board did work ok with that code but the Live Board didn't. As I thought the code wasn't needed I removed the code for both Boards |

The code is there to help prevent hackers from running the code and bypassing the security. I can't see that they could do much if any damage from this, but you never know. Some are pretty clever...
This is probably an example why you should be installing the MODs on the Live board rather than copying the files back and forth. There is a whole lot more that can go wrong when copying so many files, folders, and data from one forum to another...

Ok, so I messed up a bit then. I shall update a board in future rather than copy forum to forum etc.
I suppose I can't fix what I changed because of the sql error telling me to remove the hacking attempt info etc
All it must have been was I Transferred everything from the test board to live but a certain query wasn’t updated in the live databse or something hence was I was told to remove the hacking attempt (at a guess anyway) |

The error said that you had a parse error, not a database error. The parse error could be caused by a corrupt file if it occurred after uploading the files from one forum to another. So uploading the affected file can often correct the problem...
