Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smf_main()

[cyberry]

Done the upgrade again.
I had the following problem but I did as adviced and bypassed the check:
The upgrader found some old or outdated language files, for the forum default language, english.

Note: If necessary the above security check can be bypassed for users who may administrate a server but not have admin rights on the forum. In order to bypass the above check simply open "upgrade.php" in a text editor and replace "$disable_security = 0;" with "$disable_security = 1;" and refresh this page.

And guess what I have that error message again after finishing the upgrade:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_init() (previously declared in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/Sources/Load.php(2075) : eval()'d code:32) in /www/htdocs/w00aa632/bfc/smf/Sources/Load.php(2075) : eval()'d code on line 532

Since I made a download of the whole smf folder before I upgraded i am wondering if I could just replace the folder on the server and have my old (working) board back.
Is this as easy as I think or would this not work...

This seems to work

So would you still be interested in working out the issues with the upgrade or you'd prefer to stick to your current version now?

[cyberry]

of course I would like to update....
how should we proceed?

[cyberry]

by the way where can I change that into a german text?
Okay faithful users...we're attempting to restore an older backup of the database...news will be posted once we're back!

[N3RVE]

By downloading the Large Upgrade Package here and uploading the files included to replace *every* file on the server, then execute Upgrade.php

In ./Settings.php

[cyberry]

OK I will do this...

I also did send you a pm if you need it...

[N3RVE]

Well, I don't need Admin access on the forum

Meaning to replace all files but not deleting files that are not in this package, is this correct?
By the way this is exactly the download I used before.....

[N3RVE]

Delete everything except Settings.php and upload everything in the package to the server.
Have you seen: Upgrading SMF
Everything should be replaced.

OK done copying the files now I can start with the upgrade or do you want to do it so you can see what happens?

[N3RVE]

Okay, I'll do it. Send me FTP details and an Admin account.

[cyberry]

you should have everything now

[cyberry]

anything new

[cyberry]

Hi,
well I think the upgrade did work now please don´t ask me why but it did.
I will do some tests and check if everything works correctly.

Thanks for your help so far. 

Best regards,
Roger

Ok, so did everything work as expected ?

-[n3rve]

[cyberry]

yes, I guess the problem was that I realy did not delete everything.
For example there where still some files in the cache folder and in the sources folder I had some files with an ~ in front.
This time I deleted everything as you mentioned and it worked fine.

I realy appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Roger

Sometimes it's really enouh to delete files only that need to be  updated.

[N3RVE]

Are they any files in 2.0 that weren't updated between 1.x and 2.x?
