why are you upgrading to SMF 2.1? we dont recommend anyone use it in production.

[gevv]

why is there SMF 2.1.x Support ?

I'm testing

real server duplicate form data base and files  I'm testing

[albertlast]

Thanks for invest your time to testing the upgrade process.

At the moment the information are to less to help you,
could you check the php error log maybe you see/find ther some information about the upgrade process.

[Juan Carlos]

I had the same problem with the last  hitub upgrade

Was my first problem with the updates  for 2.1

[albertlast]

Can you also check you php error log,
the information is otherwise very low.

[gevv]

There are 129 errors all the same

PHP Notice:  Undefined index: updating_smf_installation in /.../upgrade.php on line 225

upgrade.php line 225

Code: [Select]

$upcontext['page_title'] = $txt['updating_smf_installation'];

[albertlast]

In the last changes,
the support for different language in the upgrade process was added.

Look like that one or more bugs was by this progress.

I assume you are using Turkish language files (beta3). Keep your forum in English till RC1 or RC2.

[gevv]

I do the installation in English (try english)

The reason for the error is the language file?

no...

that message is actually normal.

either wait... or click there.

with one board, having 20 million posts and a database of over 2 gigabytes, upgrading from 1.1.x to 2.0, it took 34 hours to do the upgrade.

[gevv]

""click here"" continuous click?

It should automatically continue in a few seconds

similarly forum maintance    

[Kindred]

except this "continue" is not the same thing at all...  this continue appears because the server has not responded - not because the script has a built in wait queue.

So, no...   it can't do the same thing and this continue script is pretty much expected to happen on a forum of any real/large size...

What happens if you just wait?

[shawnb61]

How large is this database?  How many messages/users?   

I am able to upgrade using the current 2.1b4 from today's github with no problems.  I just tried it on a tiny forum and a mid-sized (200k posts) forum.  Both went smoothly & quickly, just a couple minutes each. 

Second questions - the latter screenshot is from doing forum maintenance, not the upgrade - does that mean your upgrade completed?   Are you attempting forum maintenance in 2.1 or 2.0?   

[gevv]

@Kindred    Message is actually normal. Backplane data base changes operation in progress?

@shawnb61 just an example forum maintance  system

[Kindred]

with a sufficiently large database or sufficiently slow host -- yes, that message is actually normal.

Let it be, or click the continue....   chances are it will eventually reconnect and continue.  If it doesn't, after 30 mins or so... then try restarting...   if that still doesn't work, then come back for more help.

[shawnb61]

How large is the database?   # of users/posts?

Any errors logged?

Has it ever gotten past that first step?

[gevv]

user 43610  post 804138  topic 74748

no other error logged

The same problem continues

Contact I hosting company  values to be upgraded  max_execution_time and max_input_time

then i will try again

[shawnb61]

Can you describe the exact step-by-step process you follow when you do the upgrade?

Everybody does this a little differently...  Where do you get the source?  Do you copies files from /other to forum root?  Which ones?  Do you clean up any files beforehand?  If this is a test environment, was your test environment fully operational before you did the upgrade?  (Meaning, is settings.php defined properly for the current environment?) 

[gevv]

all forum files copied to folder

create new database and forum database import (mysq dummper)


download smf repair_settings.php  and replace  new db username and password , folder paths, etc

forum control everything looks fine  test ok.

download smf  2.1b4 (github )

2.1 b4 new file operations (overwrite all files, move contents for other folder, etc)

start upgrading

lang error  skip try english continuation..

after error
