Lot's of people upgraded from 4.8 to 5 series I was one of em

The only issue is when a user runs step3 of the upgrade more than once and it prepends the userid on the files in the database table more than once which is why the files are not found

Hense you need to restore a backup and rerun the upgrade only ONCE on the step.

can I just restore that one table the photos table and then run the upgrade? If yes what upgrade do I pick?

[creekdawg]

Ok I found a backup copy of the db restored it and ran the upgrade and it worked all photos are there but I cant access the admin page says Im not admin but in the users table my id is 5

Any sugggestions?

[Chuck S]

Okay well some information would help here what integration type?

5 I know is admin for an internal install

[creekdawg]

Nevermind, I used a DB that was from when I wasnt admin, I prolly wont be after this fiasco. Thanks for yor help omegatron!! I really appreciate it

Okay well with database access I am sure you can change your usergroup quite easy
