I get this error when trying the upgrade.

WARNING: require_once(/homg/content/b/i/s/bislab/html/forums/Sources/Subs-Auth.php)

and

Fatal Error: require_once():Failed opening required '/home/content/bi/i/s/bislab/html/fourms.....




any suggestions with this please?

check if that file actually exists. if not find it in the installer zip and upload it to your server.

[bislab]

Thanks for the quick reply.  I did make sure those files were in the directory and they are.  Here is the complete error i'm getting now:

Warning: require_once(/home/content/b/i/s/bislab/html/forums/Sources/Subs-Auth.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/b/i/s/bislab/html/forums/Sources/Security.php on line 543

are you using ftp to upload that file? if so can you try your hosts file manager from your control panel?

[bislab]

I did indeed FTP everything onto te server.  If I understand correctly, you're asking me not to do that and use my hosting services file management console?

[Illori]

yes but just for that one file.

[bislab]

That worked, but I had to re-upload the entire source folder for it to work.  When I did just the one file, it threw out another missing file error in the same directory.  Do you have an explanation as to WHY that would work though?  I DID try doing chmod on the files and directories, so it wasn't a permission problem.  Thank you though.  Everything seems to be working fine now.

Are you using godaddy, by any chance?


I am betting that your host, whoever it is, had a "protection" installed which made the assumption that subs-auth.php was a bad file... We have actually seen it before.., they automatically delete the file without even making a notation on it, (mostly because they are idiots who don't understand actual security)

Be aware, if this is the actual cause,  there is a chance that this happens spontaneously, which would crash your forum...

[bislab]

It is in fact Godaddy.  I've never had an issue before with my forums though, so the spontaneous thing has not hit me.  Also, if this is the case, it's not JUST that file that it didn't like.  There were several more in that folder that it reported as missing until I just uploaded the whole folder through their interface.

[Kindred]

Yup...  They are idiots like that. I think we gave seen reports on 3 or 4 files disappearing during FTP upload
