I am trying to upgrade my forum from SMF 1.1.2 to smf2 beta 3.

the upgrade.php says Upgrading from YaBB SE! what is YaBB SE!??

when I run upgrade.php I get this error

Database Changes
Executing database changes
Please be patient - this may take some time on large forums. The time elapsed increments from the server to show progress is being made!
Executing upgrade script 1 of 3.
Executing: "Converting activity logs..." (2 of 8 - of this script).

Database Updates Complete! Click Continue to Proceed.
!!
Error!
Unknown column 'lb.logTime' in 'where clause'


I tried upgrading to 1.1.4 but when I run the upgrade.php it is a blank page

I tried to search the error but most hits were not in english  :-\

thanks

Did you backup your database?

Well I'd advise restoring your backup, and then trying to upgrade to 1.1.4 before the 2.0 beta.

It shouldn't matter.  There were not any changes to the database in 1.1.2, 1.1.3, or 1.1.4.

what is your mysql version?

Well here is the problem I have the site was running on version 4.1.22-standard

I backed it up and up loaded it to Server version: 5.0.45  ;(

Now I am trying to update it to 1.14 and I get this error

Upgrading...
Updating and creating indexes... Unsuccessful!
This query:

    ALTER TABLE smf_smileys
    ORDER BY LENGTH(code) DESC;

Caused the error:

    You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LENGTH(code) DESC' at line 2



Is the different mysql server versions going to make this impossible??

Do you have a .php file with this in it?

<?php
phpinfo
();
?>


That will tell you the SQL versions, and if you link us to it we can check and see if there is anything that could be causing errors.
