I have been trying to upgrade for a few days now and keep running into problems 

My forum was original in the webroot, but due to being on a windows server I had to back the forum and database up, create a new folder on the root called 'forum', where I uploaded my back of the forum and made new copy of the database (with a different name to the original).

I then ran repair_settings.php and pointed my new copy of the forum to the new copy of the database, and everything worked fine when going to the new url www.mydomain/forum, and I was even able to update it from 1.1.9 to 1.2.0 with no problems, as im now able to change the required permissions.

But when I try and upgrade from 1.2.0 to 2.0.9 I run into this new problem.

I've seen this happening in the past, more than once actually. I still couldn't confirm it exactly but I *think* that an edge condition causes an issue in the converter...

Do you have a backup? Can you put your 1.1.x forum back?

edit: here is the case I fixed. Maybe it helps you?

edit2: the condition seems to be one of your custom themes trying to be your "default" theme. This means that said theme has ID = 1 and it messes up the conversion...
Please check in phpmyadmin the table "smf_themes" and let us know which theme has ID = 1

[peps1]

Yes, backed everything up so can keep rolling it back to 1.1.9 then 1.2.0, and have done this 3 times now, each time trying to then go to 2.0.9

Is this what your asking for?

marg edit: image removed, it served its purpose

[margarett]

Yes, but on the "Browse" tab, not "Structure"

[peps1]

Yes, but on the "Browse" tab, not "Structure"

I don't even know what that means??

I'm going to guess........t h i s?

[margarett]

Yes, that
Well, it seems to be correct...

Please check table smf_settings. You should find some fields "images_url", "theme_dir" and "theme_url"
Can you let us know these values?

[Illori]

Yes, that
Well, it seems to be correct...

Please check table smf_settings. You should find some fields "images_url", "theme_dir" and "theme_url"
Can you let us know these values?

maybe try repair_settings.php and reset to default theme?

Went into  smf_settings, but these are the only ones with "theme" in the name, and none had "Images" in the name?

[margarett]

That's because you only get like 30 results per page. You need to navigate through pages to get these values
Use the button "   >   " above or the select box "page number" on the right

I am on the default theme.

Yep, scrolled through all 12 pages and that's all that came up ?

I did just delete all the themes apart from defult, and moved all members to defult.......this got me to this screen when running the upgrade,

But keeps timing out here 



So guess I have to reupload my 1.2.0 files, and restore my database......not sure Simple is the right name for this forum software 

[Kindred]

well... did you click there and try it again?   Depending on the size of your forum - it can take a while (one of my sites took 2 1/2 DAYS to finish the upgrade)

[margarett]

The first issue, that you just fixed, is actually related to older themes being left behind *and* having settings pointing at it. That was what I was trying to find. I'm still not sure that's an issue on the upgrader itself but I admit it's something we need to investigate further. What the documentation should add is instructions for you to remove all themes except default and to remove *every* file from your 1.1.x setup except attachments, avatars, smileys and Settings.php/Settings_bak.php. The fact that you just overwrite the files with newer ones leaves "trash" behind that might cause these issues...

The issue you're having now is actually server-related. The upgrade is a heavy process on the server due to the immense database operations that are needed and yours doesn't take "the beating".
Who is your host?

[peps1]

well... did you click there and try it again?   Depending on the size of your forum - it can take a while (one of my sites took 2 1/2 DAYS to finish the upgrade)

Yes, I clicked try it again 6+ times with the same result (database is about 700mb)

Who is your host?

Its the free hosting account you get when you buy a domain from Godaddy.........

[Kindred]

oh.... well, that is going to be a problem...

[margarett]

700Mb? Uh, that's gonna take a while... And yes, Godaddy is not very popular around here, exactly because of issues like that. Using a free account, yeah...

What I would do: pick your backup (db + files), set it running in you local machine with xampp or similar, do the upgrade and then restore the backup to your server. It would be nearly impossible for you to complete the upgrade in these conditions - and it's not SMF's fault

[peps1]

Is it even worth trying to do it again, and just leaving it to run, or sporadically clicking retry?

Really dont know if I have the time to start learning how to use xampp 

[margarett]

You are probably hitting some MySQL limits which causes it to die. Hit retry after 5 minutes should allow it to "cool down" But if after that it continues to fail, it just won't happen...

The most I can do is to try it for you in my computer. PM me your cPanel login details if you're up for it

I can't but admire your persistence, Bruno.
