before i upgrade - question...

i just upgraded VBulletin 2.x > 3.x and also vBPortal 2.x > 3.x. now i can't get to my photopost. i get the following error when going to the photopost url:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_lang() (previously declared in /home/www/pbfans/mainfile.php:142) in /home/www/pbfans/includes/functions.php on line 10

i want to upgrade my photopost, but i don't want to do anything if this isn't working first.. anyone know what i can do about the error i'm getting?

thanks in advance!

Hello

You would upgrade Photopost and select VB3 integration not Portal Integration. We dont have a specific portal integration with VB3 as the portal is pulled automatically using the vb3 integration.

You need to alter your settings line 41 in the settings table of Photopost as you have that still set to vb2

thanks chuck.. i've now upgraded, and the script completed successfully.. however, when i go to the admin login, i get the following:

Invalid login. Please check your username and password, or register.

i'm definitely entering the correct username/password (same as my vb info)..

also, when i first upgraded, i was brought to the gallery homepage, where i saw all my categories, recent pics, etc.. now i am not able to see any of that - i can only see the top posters and statistics..

help! (thanks!)

As stated check your settings table line 41 and make sure its set to vb3 not vb2. Also make sure you enter your vb3 license into the config file

ok, i don't have direct access to my db tables, so i'm going to have to have someone do this for me. the exact name of the table is 'settings'? thanks again.

(i entered the vb3 license in the config file as well).

Usually in most control panels is a link to phpmyadmin

The table is settings yes entry 41

Here's another pre-upgrade question..hehe

I'm currently running 4.8.1 and want to go to 4.8.6, will the upgrade script take care of all I need, or is there anything else that I need to be aware of?

Thanks!

actually, if you can give me the SQL statement to update this, i can do it myself.. not sure what the SQL would be though..

mkdevo · February 24th, 2005, 07:49 AM

nm... figured it out.

(vb3's built in SQL exe = nice!)

ok i'm now able to get a 'login successful' when i try to login to my photopost, but i still see nothing but top posters and statistics. no pics, no categories, nothing. and not even a link to get to the admin screen... ?

That to me sounds like you did not align your cookies

Your cookies need to match and also your VB license number needs to be entered in the Photopost config. This is needed absolute since in VB3 the password cookie is a mix of the user password user salt and vblicense number. If you dont have this configured your not gonna be logged in.

hmm.. i tried clearing my cookies (if that's what you're suggesting).. no go..

i have my vb3 license # in the config-inc.php file (this refers to the 8-digit license #, not my 12-digit customer #, correct?).

does this have anything to do with my config-int.php file? i notice this file isn't really 'configured', as all of the vb3 int stuff is set to OFF...

Unless your using the vb3 integration you dont worry about that file. If you want to use it then you would need to fill in the proper info and turn the variables on.

As far as cookies I stated you did not have them set right which means settings 181-183 in the photopost settings table needs to be reflective of what your vb3 cookies are

usually they are

cookie domain blank

cookie prefix bb

cookie path /

ok.. first of all, these were lines 171-173 in my table. (is something wrong there?)

now, i did have my domain in the cookie for the photopost table, which i've sice removed. i also did not have the 'bb' there, which i've added. but i'm still having the same problem.. seeing nothing but top posters and statistics.
