SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public!

[bratsquad]

well once we did the install, it was loading a page that said just a bit more info or something like that and i had to fill out server info etc. and it didn't like any of the info i inputed, like the mysql server and things like that.

i don't remember know. i'll ask the girl who was helping me in the morning to see if she remembers what all we were getting. I think its just a matter of "ditzy blonde moment". yes i said that. haha. too bad i'm not blonde. lol

For now, please upgrade to 1.0 first and then 1.1.  I'm afraid the 1.1 upgrade.php was not working properly with 1.0 beta versions.

Maybe I'm dense or something, but I went to the download link that's in the very first posting, and I've gone through every page and don't understand one thing -

I've got 1.0.5 up and running, with just two or three mods (Helios_multi theme, Skype, and Visual Warning - which has never worked anyway), and want to upgrade to 1.1 beta 3, but don't want to lose all I've got on my forums. I have two forums running this way, and one new forum that I just used a full load at 1.1 Beta 3, it's working fine.

Now, where my brain falls out is - which of those download files for 1.1 Beta 3 do I use to upgrade from 1.0.5?  And what, if anything, will not work when I do this upgrade??? Any advice from you sage SMF'ers???

First thing to do before you upgrade your forum is to BACKUP !  Backup your database (which contains all the most important stuff - members, posts, permissions, boards, etc.) and your forum files, so if anything goes wrong you will be able to go back and won't lose your forum.

But as far as I know, if you are currently running 1.0.5 with mods, you will have to use the "upgrade" script from the download's page.  This means that you will lose your installed mods.  You will have to reinstall then after the upgrade is done.

None of the mods I used pre 1.1 beta 3 work anymore, so if you like your mods wait for updated mods to be released...

Hello, I know there is no support for the Beta but it is normal that if I check my Messages than I got in 1 Second 5 Error Pages in the Error Log ?

This is only the first page of the logs, the Error are flooding my Logs, would be nice to disable this.

And please be patient with me, the Search function in the Board is oftne giving me this Error in the last days " Due to high stress on the server, the search function is temporarily disabled. Please try again in a short while."

You must do nothing, only click your Message Folder and than those Entrys have all the same time of the Error.

What?  Since when?

As I've said before in this topic, I'm afraid 1.1 Beta 3 Public was not entirely compatible with PHP 4.1.x.  This won't cause a huge problem, but will be an annoyance until the next release.

Backups - that goes without saying.  I've done a complete backup of not just the board, but all mySQL databases just to have a good, clean, full backup.  But you mention the upgrade script - that's what I'm saying is so confusing. There's like three or four upgrade scripts and I couldn't figure out which one was for which...

Any kind of a SWAG on when the next release will be out?

[Klauser]

I read that somewhere here in the Board, Beta = no Support use it on your own risk.

Ok, than I will wait and don´t must make me sorrows about the errors. Yes, my Hosting Provider has PHP 4.3.0 and he will not update, sad for me, because there is a bug in zlib so I can´t use gzip compression for Backup my Database.

Based on the "powered by" statement at the bottom of the page, I'd guess not too long...

I'd think that Beta 4 will be released to charter members within the next few days. It's obviously stable as I've seen Beta 4 installed on three forums now.

I guess I really need to become a charter member, as I'm on these forums almost every day since switching to SMF.  Hmmmm... have to go look that up...

It's worth it Or at least I've found it's been worth it for the advanced betas. (I had SMF 1.1 before the majority, *taunts*    )

Well, if my business life would slow down a bit, I'd love to spend some time doing some dev work on upgrades, options and themes, because I used to do a lot of that with phpBB before "leaving the dark side of the force".  I just flat out don't have the time to do this now, but wish I did as I find it thoroughly enjoyable.  I'm going to go search "charter member" and see what that requires...

Thanks for your kind words!

That's fine, you're welcome    As for charter member information, I found this helpful! It's great fun to be able to mess around with the code side of SMF, although it sucks when you don't have the time.. Abolish school and work would help

I wish it was as easy as getting out of school, but at 43 there ain't much schoolin going on, it's mainly 16 hour work days bustin my hump... looks like charter membership does have it's priveleges...haha

[NoRad]

16 hour work days? That totally sucks man. I try not to work more than 4 hours a day.
