Dragooon:
Its in the LARGE upgrade package, not in the install package.
sikes:
Thank you. I'll install the large package.
But why the LARGE package is only 1.5 MB, when Full Install is 1.6 MB in SAME archive type?
metallica48423:
The INSTALL package contains the files necessary to install SMF from nothing.
The UPGRADE Package contains the files necessary to upgrade a forum or to restore the files to their default states.
The UPDATE Package contains only the files changed from the previous release (in this case, 2.0 Beta 2.
You need the "large" UPGRADE Package
sikes:
I installed LAGRGE package, but it with less weight: only 1.5 MB, smf_2-0-beta3p_upgrade.tar.bz2.
Install package 1.6 MB. It's strange. I untar'ed large package in an empty directory and:
Warning: require_once(/home2/.../Settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/.../upgrade.php on line 44
How to upgrade without files? Or I must have settings.php from old forum (a have it)?
I uploaded file Setting.php from working empty SMF2 and edited it. Connection to DB was OK, but there's error. I'll try to edit settings.php..
