How do I know if I have all the new versions of all my files?

I think the upgrader should (in the future) check for that. Make sure you overwrote all the files. This is sometimes fixed when I reupload index.php in my SMF root.

Reloaded the index.php file and got this:

Did you reupload /themes/default/languages ?

I didn't choose any other languages when I did the first part of the upgrade though.

Than the upgrader will upgrade the language entries later on. Feel free to skip it.

Ok, that worked, but what now do you make of this?

shadow82x

I dont think it will effect your forum tbh. I'm hoping it upgraded those entries or they are unneeded in SMF2.

Something is wrong, I am wondering if the bablefish mod is the one messing me up... This is all I see when I go to my forum... no forums just the top part of the board...

You were most likely using old out dated files.  I suggest that you reupload everything and make sure that you select overwrite when you upload.  Then run the upgrade again.

Do you have any other languages installed?

How can I tell? As far as I know I only installed English, although there are tons of other language files in the language folder by default I guess.

JayBachatero

You have a few languages there.  albanian, arabic and so on.  Also you need the english utf-8 files.

Isn't that what the 12th one is?

kreativekarma

OK, this is fixed... it was a hack mod that my husband did for me and he fixed it! All is well for now!

OK, I've just encountered this while trying to install the 2.0 beta 3.1 upgrade.

After a little digging into it, I determined that it's a bug in the upgrade package. The upgrade.php file has the SMF_VERSION defined at the top of the file as "2.0 Beta 3 Public". When it checks index.php for that version string, it doesn't find it since the beta 3.1 index.php correctly lists the version as "2.0 Beta 3.1 Public" (note the ".1").
Unsurprisingly, updating the SMF_VERSION variable in upgrade.php seems to fix it.

You guys might want to fix that bug in the upgrade package.  ;)

My base index.php reflects the following:

$forum_version = 'SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1 Public';

My Upgrade.php reads:

define('SMF_VERSION', '2.0 Beta 3 Public');

Note, not only the version change, but the string SMF in front as well is different!
The older, the wiser they say. But I doubt it!

Brettflan

Well, yeah... they are different files. Still and yet, all that you need to do is update upgrade.php to add the ".1" to the string. That's it.
