This Solved?

Not solved.

I'm connected with my FTP. When I browse my computer and open the folder I want to upload - the folder is empty. Nothing inside. I've downloaded and unzipped.

[Antechinus]

Then you must have extracted to another folder. If you can't find the files then extract again, assuming you still have the zip.

[MATTEK]

Ok. So by followingn the instructions I've copied the files and pasted trhem into the FTP. I'm not done doing all of the files yet, but now when I load my website I get a fatal error. Fatal error: Call to undefined function: loaddatabase() in /homepages/46/d274007555/htdocs/index.php on line 79

What happened?

[Antechinus]

Finish uploading all the files. Then run upgrade.php.

[MATTEK]

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by that. Can you link me to the file?

Thank you. I appreciate this so much. I'm not done, though 

All files are uploading as we speak. To set permissions, the instructions say i have to run 'chmod'. What is chmod?



Also I got al error during the upload from my FTP

[02:49:53] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
[02:49:53] Client closed the connection.

[Antechinus]

The error just means the connection dropped. Re-open it and continue uploading.

CHMOD is setting file permissions. You can do that with your control panel or with ftp once the files are loaded.

Alright. It's back on track. However, even when the connection dropped the files in the transfer que looked like they were still transfering. Will I have to re upload those specific files or have they successfully been transfered?

[Antechinus]

Not sure. If in doubt I'd reload them just to be certain they are in.

Ouch. I had no idea what to do when it happened. I'll never know which files they were. Does this mean I should stop the upload and start all over?

[Antechinus]

Just keep going. Usually if a connection drops the upload will pick up where it left off. Might as well see how you go. If the installer freaks at any point you'll know you have some more loading to do.

I decided to redo it one folder at a time. Seems to be going smoother.

http://www.yourdomain.tld/forum/upgrade.php
(where Forum is the location of your forum)

That part confuses me. 

[Antechinus]

Just type in the address to your forum follwed by /upgrade.php

So if the forum is at http://www.yourforum.com/ you type in http://www.yourforum.com/upgrade.php

[MATTEK]

Woa. Every thread has triple avatars for the posters and I can't post. IT gives me an error when I try to post quick reply or advanced reply.

Error:

There have been numerous language and template changes since the previous version of SMF. On this step the upgrader can attempt to automatically make these changes in your templates to save you from doing so manually.

Also when I click on the PM link i get

AND this...

MAJOR SECURITY RISK:

You have not removed upgrade.php!

That is on my homepage
