Hello,
I hope somebody can help me with this problem I have.
After a upgrade from version RC1 to RC2 I receive the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smf_main()
Do somebody know what that means?
Thanks Roger
Duplicate function, what file is reported? Post the full error here.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smf_main() (previously declared in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/index.php:159) in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/index.php on line 706

Attach ./Index.php to your next reply.

It is the index.php from the updatefile....
The smf_main() function is not declared twice in that file. It shouldn't be reporting that error.
-[n3rve]
so what can I do now?
:-\
Looking at that error and looking at the file you attached, it's clear you've attached the wrong file. I'll advice you to get a copy of the Large Upgrade Package and use the index.php in the package.

This is what I used:
http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_2-0-rc2_upgrade.zip
Yes, use that (again). Use the Index.php file included the package.

OK I will do it again and pray ;)
Now I have a new error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_main() (previously declared in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/Sources/Load.php(2075) : eval()'d code:6) in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/Sources/Load.php(2075) : eval()'d code on line 744
:o
Are you installing any mods after the large upgrade package? Are you sure the files are getting replaced?
-[n3rve]
It looks like I have a problem with my template I used since it was a old template what is not working with rc2 anymore.
Is there a possibility to switch templates manually (not in the FRONTEND)?
This is the error I get now:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_init() (previously declared in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/Sources/Load.php(2075) : eval()'d code:32) in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/Sources/Load.php(2075) : eval()'d code on line 532
I am getting there step by step ;)
I don't understand, you mean after replacing *everything* on your server with fresh sets from the Large Upgrade Package, you still have those redeclare errors, that's impossible. I just downloaded the upgrade packages from all server, tested them and I don't have any error whatsoever. You are not replacing the files, simple.

Well, my board did run with the theme BK-SMF-Dark-20B4-v2 (before udating) but now it seems that this theme is not working anymore.
I did the update the board now via the upgrade.php and everything worked fine.
I deleted the upgrade.php and tried to get in the board but with no success. So I renamed one of my themes on the server (default) to the BK-SMF-Dark-20B4-v2 and it worked untill I did try to upload a new theme (Winter).
Now I always get this error i mentioned before.
I belive the upgrade would not run if something was not copied properly?
Any Ideas?
Best regards,
Roger
I guess I will go and drink some beer now and try to solve the problems tomorrow ( hopefully with your help)
Happy new year....
Post a link to your forum and a link to theme you're trying to use.

Hi,
this is one more problem I am not able to find the theme anymore....
Here is the link to the board: http://www.meeforum.bfcmassenbuch.eu/
Oh you propably mean the new one: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=download;lemma=2021;id=11525
Honestly I don't understand how this is happening, you should *not* be getting those redeclare errors after replacing files with the Large Upgrade Package. Have you tried to delete everything in the SMF directory except Settings.php and re-upload the archive, also attach ./Sources/Load.php so I can take a look.

I am redoing the upgrade and let you know when I am done
Done the upgrade again.
I had the following problem but I did as adviced and bypassed the check:
The upgrader found some old or outdated language files, for the forum default language, english.
Note: If necessary the above security check can be bypassed for users who may administrate a server but not have admin rights on the forum. In order to bypass the above check simply open "upgrade.php" in a text editor and replace "$disable_security = 0;" with "$disable_security = 1;" and refresh this page.
And guess what I have that error message again after finishing the upgrade:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_init() (previously declared in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/Sources/Load.php(2075) : eval()'d code:32) in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/Sources/Load.php(2075) : eval()'d code on line 532

Since I made a download of the whole smf folder before I upgraded i am wondering if I could just replace the folder on the server and have my old (working) board back.
Is this as easy as I think or would this not work...

This seems to work :D
So would you still be interested in working out the issues with the upgrade or you'd prefer to stick to your current version now?
-[n3rve]
of course I would like to update....
how should we proceed?
???
by the way where can I change that into a german text?
Okay faithful users...we're attempting to restore an older backup of the database...news will be posted once we're back!
By downloading the Large Upgrade Package here (http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php/smf_2-0-rc2_upgrade.zip) and uploading the files included to replace *every* file on the server, then execute Upgrade.php

In ./Settings.php

OK I will do this...
I also did send you a pm if you need it...
Well, I don't need Admin access on the forum ;)

Meaning to replace all files but not deleting files that are not in this package, is this correct?
By the way this is exactly the download I used before..... :-\
Delete everything except Settings.php and upload everything in the package to the server.
Have you seen: Upgrading SMF (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=3.0;sort=subject)
Everything should be replaced.

OK done copying the files now I can start with the upgrade or do you want to do it so you can see what happens?
Okay, I'll do it. Send me FTP details and an Admin account.
-[n3rve]
you should have everything now
anything new ???
Hi,
well I think the upgrade did work now please don´t ask me why but it did.
I will do some tests and check if everything works correctly.
Thanks for your help so far. :)
Best regards,
Roger
Ok, so did everything work as expected ?
-[n3rve]
yes, I guess the problem was that I realy did not delete everything.
For example there where still some files in the cache folder and in the sources folder I had some files with an ~ in front.
This time I deleted everything as you mentioned and it worked fine. O:)
I realy appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Roger
Sometimes it's really enouh to delete files only that need to be updated.
Are they any files in 2.0 that weren't updated between 1.x and 2.x?
