how to upgrade to 2.0

Illori · June 15, 2011, 03:14:01 PM

sounds like you did not override the files or you put them in the wrong place

mrpike · June 15, 2011, 03:15:11 PM

Maybe I put them in the wrong place....

mrpike · June 15, 2011, 03:16:17 PM

Can I just put them in the right place now?

Or do I have to find them and delete them?

Illori · June 15, 2011, 03:17:22 PM

i would suggest deleting the old in case you have a storage limit on your host. and upload them to the correct location overriding the existing files.

So I think I used the installer instead of the upgrade, how do I redo this?

Illori · June 15, 2011, 03:28:04 PM

upload the files from the large upgrade package over what you did already.

It's not letting me, it gives me a circle with a cross through it.

Illori · June 15, 2011, 03:33:29 PM

no idea what that means, at this point i am not sure what else to tell you.

mrpike · June 15, 2011, 03:34:48 PM

I think I figured it out.
The files are currently being uploaded.

Are all my posts gone now because I did the install instead of the upgrade?

you will know when the upgrade is complete, worst case you can always restore your backup of the database and run the upgrade script again.

Ok cool, thanks for the help.

mrpike · June 15, 2011, 03:39:03 PM

So when I type www.mysite.com/forum/upgrade.php it brings me to the installer page?

Is this correct?

Illori · June 15, 2011, 03:40:53 PM

it should be an upgrader not an installer

mrpike · June 15, 2011, 03:41:33 PM

Yeah thats what I thought too, but when I type "upgrade.php" it brings me to "install.php"

Illori · June 15, 2011, 03:42:33 PM

delete install.php and try again

mrpike · June 15, 2011, 03:43:51 PM

I'm currently overwriting my forum again

to see if I can get the upgrade.php to work. If it doesn't I will look for the install.php and delete it.

It's working allright, there for all the world to see too. You ought fill in the info and get that sucker deleted. I believe it is a security risk having that hanging out there like that.

mrpike · June 15, 2011, 03:47:58 PM

this is the message I'm getting.
Unable to connect to database - please check username and password are correct in Settings.php

Illori · June 15, 2011, 03:48:47 PM

upload your settings.php file from your backup to your server and ignore virtualdave as he did not check the link you provided to see it is fake

mrpike · June 15, 2011, 03:50:59 PM

where is my settings.php file?
