upgrade from 1.1.19 to 2.0.6 undefined index

[ormuz]

So, I've deleted all the files and folders, with the exception for:

/attachments
/avatars
Settings.php
Settings-bak.php

And then I've uploaded the large upgrade package, then I went to the /upgrade.php and I got a lot of errors saying:
Undefined index: upgrade_upgrade_utility in /home/www/test.site.pt/public_html/upgrade.php on line 3476
Notice: Undefined index: upgrade_step in /home/www/teste.site.pt/public_html/upgrade.php on line 3493 2: Upgrade Options
for instance...

And then in the footer I've the following message:
The upgrader found some old or outdated files.
Please make certain you uploaded the new versions of all the files included in the package.

Any ideas for what can I be doing wrong?

"upgrade_upgrade_utility" is a text string defined in Themes/default/languages/Install.english.php.
Same for "upgrade_step".

Make sure you uploaded all files from large upgrade, as it seems you missed some

I've triple check that. Install.english.php is there and is up-to-date. repair_settings.php doesn't give any error on the folders and paths

[margarett]

No idea. Permissions on the file also looks good.

One thing I did notice was 2 paths on the warning messages:

Undefined index: upgrade_upgrade_utility in /home/www/test.site.pt/public_html/upgrade.php on line 3476
Notice: Undefined index: upgrade_step in     /home/www/teste.site.pt/public_html/upgrade.php on line 3493

(see the missing/extra "e"?)

edit: who is the owner "500" in the right column? Could this be an ownership issue?

(see the missing/extra "e"?)

That was just a typo here do hide the current url I'm using to test the upgrade...

edit: who is the owner "500" in the right column? Could this be an ownership issue?

I don't think it is related to that, the live site is running on the same server with the same owner...

Any more ideas? Or ways to debug this?

[ormuz]

my host deactivate the "notices" and made sure that the owner thing was not a problem...

It seems that the problem is related to the language files, but they are there and up-to-date

In the attach is what I'm seeing right now.

can you try running repair_settings.php and see if fixing your paths helps any?

What is repair_settings.php?

What is repair_settings.php?

Yep, just did that again... Everything is perfect there, even the language is set to "english"

[Illori]

you dont have any mix of forward and backward slashes in your paths?

[ormuz]

Nop, they are all fine.

PS: The last version of repair_settings.php available for download here is broken, I had to download a older version...

[ormuz]

When I delete te files inside the default/languages the error in upgrade.php is still the same. Does that mean that for some reason, the path to the default theme is wrong somewhere?

[margarett]

Or that the access to file is denied, eg due to ownership issues
That's one of those "have to see cases..."

Anyway, since you are in a more-or-less urgent, you can try to import your database and those files you saved to your local machine (xampp, wamp, etc), do the upgrade in localhost and return the converted database + files to the server...

[Illori]

i am not sure i would recommend that... it would not fix a paths issue.

[ormuz]

Ok, so I will focus on the paths/owner possibility... Any recommendation to make sure that is from the paths or from the owner?

It is not urgent, I'm not doing this in production, I'm doing in a test environment just to prepare the upgrade.

the error that you are seeing indicates that some of the basic forum files are detected at PRE 2.0.x levels.

This suggests that you have not correctly uploaded all of the files from the large upgrade (overwriting the 1.1.x files)
Since you insist that you have done so, this in turn suggests that ownership permissions on your server are preventing you from overwriting those files.

Your best bet would be to actually DELETE everything except the attachments and avatars directories and the Settings.php and Settings_bak.php files
(in other words, keep those 4 things, delete everything else)
THEN load the upgrade files and run upgrade

[ormuz]

Kindred, that was the way I started... 

So, I've deleted all the files and folders, with the exception for:

/attachments
/avatars
Settings.php
Settings-bak.php

[Kindred]

indeed...   you did say that. Sorry.

I can not imagine what could be causing your error then... I just tried it on three different servers and could not replicate your problem.

[ormuz]

I'm still stuck on this... I've checked everything a lot of times. It is possible that this code had a bug?

Code Select Expand

// Do a quick version spot check.
$temp = substr(@implode('', @file($boarddir . '/index.php')), 0, 4096);
preg_match('~\*\s@version\s+(.+)[\s]{2}~i', $temp, $match);
if (empty($match[1]) || $match[1] != SMF_VERSION)
return throw_error('The upgrader found some old or outdated files.<br /><br />Please make certain you uploaded the new versions of all the files included in the package.');

I will just comment this lines and try it... f@ck it! Wish me luck 

[ormuz]

Ok, the upgrade went perfect... And there is definitely a bug in the smf upgrade (I wonder how many people give up from smf because of this, I found a lot of topics reporting this error...).

And the bug is that I had a theme installed, that I eventually deleted the files when I overwrite for the new ones. For some reason the upgrade.php was looking for that files. When the upgraded finished the theme turned on, wasn't there. And I had to change to the default/curve theme manually.

Hope I made my self clear on the explanation... If not I can try to explain it better.

Thanks for all you time and help.
