Title: Getting this error when I try and update
Post by: Aaron Nelsen on March 14, 2004, 01:20:32 AM
When I run Upgrade.php I get this error before it even starts the upgrade.

QuoteThe upgrader was unable to find language files for the language you have specified.
SMF will not work without the primary language files installed. Please either install them, or use english instead.

yeah, it this error initially too... if you re-dl the package, and just upload the upgrade.php it should fix it (I think)...

If you are getting this exact error message, the fastest way to solve it is to edit Settings.php and change this:

$language = "something.lng";

To this:

$language = 'english';

However, this issue should have been solved in an update I made to the packages specifically to solve this issue and some undefined language entries.
