Uploaded the "large" upgrade files.
Failing on running of upgrade.php
Says that "cache" directory does not exist. It does and it has 0755 as its permissions.
: 0 , 0 .
Updating Your SMF Install!
The cache directory could not be found.
Please make sure you have a directory called "cache" in your forum directory before continuing.
It had an htaccess and an index.php file in it -- I tried removing them but it did not help.
Any ideas?
there are no database changes since SMF 2.0. you can go ahead and delete the upgrade.php script and your forum should work fine.
