Upgrading

[Jump5Freak777]

I tried to upgrade my forum to 1.1 RC2

it says there is a database error. And when i try to run the upgrade.php file it says i have outdated or old languages.

What should i do?



also, how do i restore my backed up files?

Try uploading the files from the upgradepackage again. Do you have any other languages installed besides english?

[Jump5Freak777]

i've uploaded them like three times now.


no, i dont think i have any others installed.

You can see if there are other languages in the /Themes/default/languages directory. If you keep getting this errors, it might be worth it trying another ftp-client. Something is definately wrong with the uploaded files.

yeah, i got in and fixed it.


How do i restore the tables and stuff i backed up before i upgraded?

I got it done (which should re-add TinyPortal i do believe) but it didnt. and it wont let me add mods cause it says "cant load 'ftp_required' template"

[xenovanis]

Wait.. you upgraded to 1.1RC2 and now you have restored your 1.0.7 database? That will never work.

[Jump5Freak777]

duh.... that was a dumb move.

is there a way to un-restore it? Cause now it says- "Unknown column 'a.attachmentType' in 'field list'" and nothing else and i cant get passed it (unless you arent logged in)

[xenovanis]

You need to run the upgradescript again. After the upgrade, you'll need to reinstall your mods. There is no way of getting them back any other way.

[Jump5Freak777]

it wont let me reinstall them. It says "cant load 'ftp_required' template" when i try to.

and i cant edit membergroups and many other things either (this is after the upgrade)

[xenovanis]

Try uploading all files from the upgradepackage again and run upgrade again. If this happens again, upload the /Themes directory again. One or more files were corrupted during the upload.

[Jump5Freak777]

i've done all of this like 5 times. Why cant you guys just make a system that works the first time?

The system works the first time. When you mix versions, it goes splat (but you can't expect different).

I recommend you grab the install package, delete the files in the Themes/default folder on the server, then upload the ones from the install package.

I never experienced any problems uploading. This is either a serverissue or a problem with your ftp-client.
