Upgrading from 1.1.5 to 2.0 Beta 3 Public

[Prosperous]

Hey there everyone. I am trying to upgrade my forum from SMF 1.1.5 to SMF 2.0 Beta 3 Public, however I get the following error 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The upgrader found some old or outdated files.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.

Click here to try again.

What is the problem and how can it be fixed? I need the forum up and running as soon as possible.

Thanks everyone.

you need to make sure to upload all of the files from the upgrade package before attempting to run upgrade.php

This will overwrite ALL of your SMF source and default theme files. (thus uninstalling all mods)

[Prosperous]

I have uploaded every single file that is given in the file (I initially downloaded the 'Full Install' .zip file) two times already but still no luck. Is that the right file to download from SMF?

What else could it possibly be?

[Kindred]

did the files successfully overwrite?

(and you DO NOT want to overwrite Settings.php)

[Prosperous]

Yes, each and every file did overwrite successfully, both times that I tried.

I am unsure whether settings.php was overwritten... Is there a settings.php file in the upgrade .zip file that I downloaded from SMF?

No-one can help?

1- don't bump. You only posted 5 hours apart...   and between midnight and 5am, where I am.
2- if you used the UPGRADE package, then no, there is no settings.php in that archive.

I would suggest that the facts indicate a different story.... something is not getting copied or over-written. You verified that every file in the root and Sources directory have a new date-stamp and every file in every sub-directory of Themes also do?

You are a web hosting service. You should have a backup you can restore. Then try the upgrade on a test copy of your forum until you get the issue figured out.

Anyway I'm willing to bet that some of the 2.0 files didn't get uploaded.

Can you attach your Upgrade.php?

[Prosperous]

I am quite certain that each file has a new date-stamp on it (checked via my FTP client).

rsw686, I have overwritten each and every file, no errors occurred on my FTP client log and there was nowhere which stated particular files were unable to be uploaded/overwritten.

I have attached the upgrade.php file metallica48423.


Do you recommend I delete all the files and folders and upload the files from the SMF 2.0 FULL installation .zip file?

[metallica48423]

Try this (the 2.0 package has not yet been regenerated)

[Prosperous]

My forum works now! Awesome!

Thanks ever so much metallica48423, it is very much appreciated. What was the initial problem? How come my forum wasn't upgrading? I don't understand what you mean by 'the 2.0 package has not yet been regenerated'...

the file must be updated . . .  I am having the same error as well.

BTW, I am getting an error if I have updated something from Post and Topics ---> "Post Settings". It says that I have a missing table so it can't be updated. I forgot to copy a preview.

Anyone is having the same problem?

[metallica48423]

RvG: Did you try the upgrade.php in my post?

[RvG]

not yet... I will try it once I reached home

[ORGANPORTAL]

Same problem here. BUT the upgrade files (as attached by your reply) does not do the job here. Still the same error ´old files´

[metallica48423]

if you have language files other than english, including english-utf8, delete them first.  They won't work with 2.0 anyways, but since they're still technically outdated, they'll hold an upgrade from completing (legitimately!)

[RvG]

another problem:

after upgrade successfully... all my queries from min 12 went up high as much as 115 queries each pageload.

[metallica48423]

uhm... I actually suspect that is... not right... SMF 2.0 definitely... does not use 115 queries per page load... :S

can you do a detailed version check rom the admin CP, clear the cache from forum maintenance, and then check again?

I too am experiencing a ton of slowness in 2.0 Beta 3. Pages take anywhere from 20-80 seconds to be generated at times, and I still have yet to find a fix. My host says SQL is operating fine, and most things on status.php check out.
