upgrade 1.1.4 to 2.0 trashes apache

[babylon]

ok,

i expected maby a tiny thing but this was realy unexpected.
I have a copy of my 1.1.4 running locally on xampp.
Before the upgrade i uninstalled any mod i had and even put the original 1.1.4 files on top to make sure all was clean..
The forum worked,no problems..

Then i put all the "folders" of the 2.0 in the forum folder..
All was overwritten.

But without even putting the root files in there i got:

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in C:\xampp\htdocs\forum\Sources\Load.php on line 144

So when i put in the root files and refreshd it trashed apache to close down..
It did that every time...
And i have no clue why....

I can't say much for apache but if you had the 1.1.4 running fine, then unzipped and copied the 2.0 Beta 3 files to the same directory and then pointed your browser to upgrade.php it should work just fine.  That's the way I did it and I now have 2.0 Beta 3 running on my local machine for testing.

Line 144 of Load.php (in SMF 2.0) is a call to $smcFunc['db_query']. The fact that this isn't defined indicates that Sources/Subs-Db-mysql.php didn't get uploaded properly. Make absolutely sure that all the 2.0 files got uploaded. I'm not sure what you mean by "root files".

The fact that this isn't defined indicates that Sources/Subs-Db-mysql.php didn't get uploaded properly.

Well i dont agree....
I have full copies so i can try a thousand times if i want...

I just started with a new copy....
By only putting the SOURCES folder in the root gives me the error :

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in C:\xampp\htdocs\forum\Sources\Load.php on line 144

@Oldiesmann , with root files i mean files like index.php , settings,SSI,subscriptions.php  etc..

and with only the replaced folder SOURCES i received the error as described above..

and when i replaced the index.php file in the root with the 2.0 one it trashed apache...

what happens is that my browser doesnt show the forum anymore.
i get the firefox the error that connection is reinitialized but nothing happens.
the second time i refresh it closes apache.

and btw...this is local so there is no "uploading" for me as i just replace folders.

[babylon]

this is getting very bizar...

i locally installed the 2.0 next to the others..
then i just switched database names,so it connects to the 1.1.4 database and there you go.....everything closes and bye bye apache...

I am no expert, but it seems to me you are not following the steps for doing the upgrade.  As I said before, if you have 1.1.4 running fine, just upzip the large upgrade files and copy them into the smf directory.  Point your browser to upgrade.php and the script will upgrade the forum to 2.0 Beta 3.  I've done it so I know it works.  Make sure the files are complete.  You may need to download the large upgrade package again.

babylon do you still require assistance?

[babylon]

well thats a tough one...
wonder if its a good idea to upgrade as i only have one forum based on smf and the 2.0 wont be a stable release untill end of this year...
and also most mods devs are not supported or not ready yet...

[Deaks]

there are a fair few mods ready for smf2beta3

however using the beta even though is somewhat stable a live site shouldnt really use just yet ... but it is our choice make a backup if you do decide.

thanks....
i know,but i have a local eviroment as well so i can play around..
