vb 3.03 & PP 4.8 -> vb 3.5 & PP 5.2

As you can see from the title I am in the process of upgrading my VB from 3.03 to 3.5. Additionally I have PP 4.8 running on the 3.03, and want to move to PP 5.2. Is there a specific upgrade order you would reccomend?

Should I upgrade the Photopost before I upgrade the VBulletin, or the other way around?

Upgrade Photopost first since it is compatible with both and then upgrade vbulletin

However if your shutting your site down while you upgrade it really does not matter

Oh, I'll be shutting down allright! Not only that, I cloned the website to another URL so I can give it a trial run first.

Thanks for the quick response.

This went pretty smooth, thanks for the suggestion. Of course I now have to re-edit the vB files so Photopost integrates correctly. I didn't see a list of the files I need to edit in the download package. Sorry for the dumb question, but can you point me to the documentation for editing the vb files in vb 3.5 so PP integrates.

You dont have to edit any vb files

Simply sign in as admin in photopost and choose edit integration in admin and fill in the right paths and urls and turn the integration ON

I must have something more going on.

Once the vB upgrade was complete, I can not access my /photopost directory via web browser. I get file not found errors? I'm assuming it is a rights issue, but then again everything is set at 777.

I'll play around and try and figure this out, but am open to any suggestions.

well yeah that sounds like a server issue then.

especially if the files exist

So the problem with the files was that all .php's needed to be at 755. Fixed that issue.

Photopost still doesn not show up on my vB main page like it used to. I thought I had to edit index.php in vB and add some includes so it would integrate and show up with the forums? Is this no longer the case with PP 5.2 and vB 3.51?

or is it a template?

Thanks. Those directions are for 4.8.5, I will assume they are the same for 5.2.

Appreciate the direction.

yes they are the same
