Update to RC4 failing

[Reqi]

Whenever I try to update from RC3 to RC4, it says there was an error.

[Bigguy]

Can you post the full error please.

[Reqi]

It gives no full error, just

How are you trying to update, not through the package manager. Have you read this:

Upgrading SMF

[Reqi]

It is through the package manager. I updated with what the error log says

[Bigguy]

read the link I posted. You should be getting one of the packages upgrade or update off of the downloads site and uploading it all through ftp and running the upgrade or update.php file from your browser.

[Reqi]

How do I upload it through FTP? I have Filezilla up an running and I've downloaded the upgrade file, but what next?

I cannot find the upgrade.php file

[Bigguy]

Unpack the zip file on your desktop. In your ftp client upload and overwrite your existing SMF install. After that is all done browse to:

www.yoursite.com/upgrade.php or update.php

whichever one and follow the on screen instructions. If you have attachments in the attachments folder on your site that you want to keep then I would skip uploading the attachments folder from the zip file on your desktop.

okaayy; so I tried putting my site up on maintenance mode {after putting all the new files in} , and now it gives the error on every page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /hermes/bosweb/web280/b2802/ipg.raevisionorg/strayoblivion/Settings.php on line 31

[JBlaze]

Remove your Settings.php file from your post. Now.

[Reqi]

..okay.. Before whenever problems occurred people here would want the file.

[Bigguy]

Not that file. It has your password and such in it.

[Reqi]

Oh.

Well, what should I do? Even the Upgrade.php doesn't work, neither does the repair_settings.php.

[Bigguy]

What mods did you have installed do you remember

[Bigguy]

There's not much around that line to error. Not sure what's going on.

[Reqi]

The files in the packages folder read:

YAGAM
Ultimate Profile
Topic Description (which has stopped working)
Time Online (never worked)
Subaccounts (never worked)
Spoiler
Staff List
SMF Shop
PersonalPad
MultiQuote
Cbox mod (not working)
Justify BBcode
HTML Permssion (never worked)
Global Headers/Footers
Favicon
Default Avatar
Bookmarks
Book of Unknown Action
Admin Notepad


I recently created a new template (by editing an old one)

[Bigguy]

Maybe if you could get that file to me I can take a look for you. Not to sure how to do that right now though.

[Reqi]

I uploaded it to a separate site and sent you the download URL

[Bigguy]

PM sent back to you. There was a url there that was probably put in for a maintenance message. I have removed it and the file is error free. It should work for you.

[Bigguy]

This is solved now.
