Upgrade from Gallery 2.5 not working

ascott · January 20th, 2010, 07:14 PM

I'm trying to upgrade from Gallery 2.5 to Photopost 7.0.1 on vB4 on my clone forum.
When I try the photopost url I get a white screen but I've checked all the paths and they look OK.
I've noticed also that when I change the config files on my clone forum they change on my live forum running on 3.8.2.

Any help will be appreciated.

You cant upgrade to pro 7.01 from vbgallery 2.5

You need to install pro and then import the vbgallery content.

If you just installed pro and get a white screen my suggestion is to check the $vbpath line is the correct server path to your vb install.

Upgrade was the wrong word to use

I will just wait for the upgrade of vBgallery to vB4, any idea on a date when this will be ready Chuck?

Thanks

still weeks off I last heard.

I explained why you had a white page on pro did you ever get that up and running as we have not heard from you in 2 weeks.

Chuck, I've been so busy I've not had a chance to do anything with it yet.
Just downloading all the files again and will give it another go and I'll let you know how I get on.

When I try to access the admin page at the end of the install all I get is the white screen.
Checked all the paths and they seem OK.
Will I need to import all the images from vBgallery before it works correctly?

You will need to import vbgallery content if you want your vbgallery images cats etc in photopost pro sure.

As far as a white page I would suggest you read number 2 on our vb FAQ

vBulletin Installation/Integration Common Issues and Resolutions.

Tried everything that I can do Chuck and it's still not working.
Will just need to use the vB default albums from now on.

what do you mean its not working?

Your installing Photopost pro right

This is what it looks like in a vb4

A community photo gallery - ReefTalk Gallery.

If you have an issue and your trying to get some support you need to list a url the errors your getting etc etc so someone can actually say hey this is whats wrong do this.

This is what you should be doing.

1. Download Photopost Pro 7.01 and following the install instructions here

PhotoPost PHP Photo Sharing Photo Gallery Installation Guide

2. When your done you should have a working empty photopost pro gallery. If not the FAQ thread should assist you. For instance if you have a white page usually that means on the last step of install you did not specify the correct path to vb forum. You can rerun install and input the correct into or edit the vbpath line in the config-int.php file. If it still does not load try setting all 3 vb3 define lines to off. Do you see something then viewing the index?

3. After your install you can use this import script to import your vbgallery content to photopost pro

I've tried it again and changed some paths/url's but I'm still getting the white screen, I know it's something I'm doing but I just don't know what???

Everything is pointing to my vB4 clone site in the config's on a separate database from my live vB3 forum. But if I put in the photopost url for it, it shows up?
Main Index - My Photo Gallery

If I try it for my vB4 forum it's still the blank screen, and all files point to this one.

A community photo gallery - My Photo Gallery

Looks fine to me I see it without any problems

ascott · February 15th, 2010, 03:57 PM

You can see the vB4 version?

Why do you think I can't?

ascott · February 15th, 2010, 04:00 PM

Just checked it on my laptop, and guess what, I can see it

Is it something to do with the cookies on my PC?

Chuck S · February 15th, 2010, 04:14 PM

I dont know what plugins do you have running?

You can try clearing your browser cache.

ascott · February 15th, 2010, 04:19 PM

That worked a treat Chuck, thank you very much!

One last question, if I import the images on my vb4 site it won't change anything on my live vb3 site, will it?

ascott · February 15th, 2010, 04:49 PM

Another one, when I access the admin for Photopost, if I click on one of the options on the left side all I get is a view of my site.

Chuck S · February 15th, 2010, 05:13 PM

Not if you do not delete anything from your vb3 site

Not sure what you mean about your admin. If you click an option in the left frame your center frame should load the options. what exactly is happening. I dont know what it loads my site means?

ascott · February 15th, 2010, 05:16 PM

It brings up the forum page of the vB4 site.

Chuck S · February 15th, 2010, 05:19 PM

Are you using any plugins in vb4? Any type of htaccess redirection?

ascott · February 15th, 2010, 05:23 PM

I've got vbseo installed and this shows up on the right side when I look at users online, it shows 'vbseo' on the far right of my name.
