Errors - Upgrading 5.0.3 to 5.1

datamunky · February 17th, 2006, 04:20 AM

AHhhh!

Okay so this is the third time I have tried today. The first two times I was getting allowed memory issues so I bumped up the memory to 128mb in the upgrade.php

now, when I do the 5.0.3 - 5.1 upgrade, I get this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Followed by what appears to be a copy of the main page of the gallery being loaded into the bottom part of the page.

This is driving me up the wall ... any ideas? Permissions are set at 777 for the entire photopost folder (just to be sure)

Thanks

Okay update time:

Thinking that the update might have worked, I then carried on and did the rest of the updates from 5.1 up to the latest version.

It didn't work. I got an unrecoverable error message on the main gallery page.

I then restored the database back to the 5.0.3 version so I could retry.

I then updated phpBB to the latest version 2.0.19 (we were on 2.0.11) in case this was the problem.

I then retried upgrade.php and had the same errors.

Then to ascertain what the actual error was, I went into pp-inc.php and removed the "if ( $User['adminedit'] == 1 ) " from line 324 so that the error would be outputted, and this is what I got:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

So at the moment, I have no idea. The main problem seems to be the weirdness of the 5.0.x to 5.1 upgrade script. If I can get to the bottom of that, I might be able to work out the rest?

You need to run each script you need to run once.

THESE KIND OF ERRORS DO NOT MATTER ONE BIT. That just means the script can not delete an old unused file. Not uncommon.

Warning: unlink(/var/www/vhosts/blah.com/httpdocs/photopost/adm-userg.php): No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/blah.com/httpdocs/photopost/upgrade.php on line 2100

Yep I realise that. The problem is, directly below where that error comes up, is a copy of front page of the forum, enbedded into the page

And at the end of the process, I am still getting the unrecoverable error message on the main forum page...

I should mention that I have ready through everything I could find on the forum to try and find out what is going on. I am restoring the old database, restoring the old photopost directory and the old forum directory and am going to have another crack at updating ... I'll see how that goes (btw, this is datamunky ... I just don;t have access to the notifications from that email account here)

okay .. I have just discovered that the config file for the forum was pointing to the IP of our old server, not localhost ... so for the last week, our forum has been running on a new server, pulling the mysql data across the net from our old server

doh!

I'm starting from scratch ... will let you know if there are any further issues

That would make alot of sense.
