SMF 1.0.7 and patch for 1.1 RC2 released

[peter500]

Hi,

there seems to be a problem with my board.
I just installed a complete new clean version of 1.1rc2, no mods, languages, themes. Clean as can be.
In admin I get the message to update and as I read there and here, it is as easy as 123.

In the list I have:
1. SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update 1.0 
2. SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update 1.0 
3. SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update 1.0 

But no matter if I use the fast one (click here to install) or one by one, I get a warning not to proceed. The errormessage are with all mods the same: Modification parse error

Now what? I can upload it by hand, that is no prob, but how will I know that is save, because than I get no warning.

Fried my board with the update/upgrade too.

Sorry, just say no if you are in doubt. Unless you are a programmer and have days to spend fixing it, leave it be.

[peter500]

I leave it too, but those updates/patches are there to us. But sure would like a solution. And besides that, it is strange that a clean board has this prob, not?

[J. Williams]

Please would you people note that,you can upgrade by just applying the files from the zips provided. (Not the patch one)

Do not refresh when installing a package & only click the install button once!

If you are not logged into this board you will not see attached files.

I will attempt to paste a link to the files described in a post on page 3 of this topic for those who are not logged in.

After download, extracting, and copying the 4 files to their proper locations, the version discrepancy messages went away after doing a 'more detailed' check ( poll , querrystring , search )

I lost 2 hours trying other things because I could not see the attachments. Hope this saves others some time.

If the links do not work, I hope an admin, or moderator will fix them.

Hello everyone!

I'm a newbie.   I've decided on a couple of themes that I like. I've downloaded the recent SMF 1.0.7 release, but I see that some of the themes that I like are for 1.1 RC2. What's the different between these 2? Is RC2 more flexible or has more features to work with? I'm assuming if I have 1.0.7 I can't use a theme for RC2. Can I download RC2 or will this cause conflicts if I change themes at a later date to a 1.0.x version?

Thanks for your help.

[Gamersea]

Ok so you got 2 files for RC2.
Do you need to download them both?

[J. Williams]

Use updated-files zip if patch doesn't work in P.M

[googlebot2]

I didnt do using the package manager but I did manual uploading of the files..

is that okay... So far no problem..but maybe in the future...just worried

[J. Williams]

Yes it is The patch for P.M is just overwriting the files found in the other zip for the version

Below is my message from several days ago. I've gone thru this thread and could not find anything related to my question. Could someone help me, please? I would like to get my forum up and running fairly soon.

Thanks for your help 

Another question: Why arent 1.0.x and 1.1RCx together as an option in the same package for download? If these 2 are required anyway, it only makes sense. As time goes on, people can update the pkgs and patches. If you don't want to put them together, I think on DOWNLOADS a "notice or suggestion" to download both packages would be beneficial to everyone in the long run.

1.1RC2 is a early release of next stable version of SMF : 1.1.

This mean that the current stable release is stil versions 1.0 (last is 1.0.7)

1.1 bring lots of new things, and 1.1RC2 is considered by many as stable enough to run.
Make your choice : stay with 1.0.7 until 1.1 Final released, and use themes that are 1.0.7 compatibles, or upgrade your forum to 1.1RC2, and corresponding themes. It's as you wish

[ledy]

  Thanks -- this was helpful.

Keep getting an Internal Server Error each time I try to install 1.0.7..

Set the folder permissions to 755, not 777.

I noticed a post earlier about upgrading to 1.1 RC2 after already having  1.0.7.  I have 1.0.7 up and running at this time, but I would also like to get the features of 1.1RC2.  I am having a hard time figuring this out.  I already have the forum set up in the /public_html/sfm dir and was wondering what I needed to do to get the upgrade.php file to work.  Any help with this would be appreciated.  Thanks

[wheatgrass]

I have the same question also, i currently have 1.0.7. and would like to use 1.1 RC2 also because it has the better themes i would like to use. I was checking around in the admin panel in the modification packages and this was listed like 8 times SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update, does this mean i already have 1.1 RC2 installed ?? or am i just confusing myself. 

[hygron]

I have just been directed to download your 1.0.7 by one of your very satisfied customers...He talked me out of yaBB's latest version.  I am a newb webbuilder, totally, and I have a question or 2.
1.  If I download the zip file, How do I load it to my website?  I had a problem with a zip file the other day;  so I figured I would ask, before downloading?

2. Do I need a database set-up before I attempt to download to site?

thanks ahead of time for your time and response...hygron

[Bigguy]

Download the zip file from this site. I personally think you would be good to download smf 1.1 rc2 but 1.0.7 is very stable and fine to use. Once you download it, unzip it to a folder on your desktop. start your ftp client and connect to your site. Upload to your host. Go into your cpanel, if you have it and make a database, make sure to add a user to that database with full priveledges. Point your browser at http://www.yoursite.com/smf if this is were you uploaded the files to. Follow the instructions from there on out.

I think there is a readme.html with the install zip which would explain things better
