Title: Fatal error...
Post by: Khardan on February 06, 2009, 08:55:52 PM
Hi,

I'm "trying" to upgrade from 1.1.8. to 2.0 RC1.  When it came time to run the upgrade.php file, I received the IIS Password error.  Per instructions previously posted, I deleted the .htaccess file and now receive the following error:

Warning: loadessentialdata(\xxxxxx\home\users\web\xxxxx\ipw.xxxxxxxx\forum/Sources/Subs-Compat.php) [function.loadessentialdata]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \\xxxx\home\users\web\xxxxx\ipw.xxxxxxxxx\forum\upgrade.php on line 792

Fatal error: loadessentialdata() [function.require]: Failed opening required '\xxxxxxxx\home\users\web\xxxx\ipw.xxxxxxxxx\forum/Sources/Subs-Compat.php' (include_path='.;c:\php\includes') in \\xxxxxxxx\home\users\web\xxxx\ipw.xxxxxxxxxx\forum\upgrade.php on line 792


The file Subs-Compat.php is where it's supposed to be :/

Any suggestions?

Thanks for whatever help you can offer - I am quickly losing my hair.

It seems to be something with Settings.php file,try to download it to your desktop and check the lines regarding db informations or there should be a file with name Settings_bak.php,just download it - rename it as Settings.php and reupload it via FTP

Thanks.  Is there something specific I should look for?  I'm a semi-newbie...

I'd suggest you,first to try my 2nd method,also this

Quotethere should be a file with name Settings_bak.php,just download it - rename it as Settings.php and reupload it via FTP

If that won't work,you should look at those lines in Settings.php


########## Database Info ##########
$db_server = ' ';
$db_name = ' ';
$db_user = ' ';
$db_passwd = ' ';
$db_prefix = 'smf_';
$db_persist = 0;
$db_error_send = 1;


They should be filled out with the correct db informations

Nope.  The info is  correct - even checked with the host provider to be sure of the db file locations.  Same error :/

Khardan, is this issue resolved now? If not, PM me the login credentials for your webhost, FTP and a temporary admin account for SMF. Please change your passwords before giving me access for security reasons.
