Upgrading from 8.03 and VB4.20 to 8.1: I need to remake the xml file?

delfi_r · June 24th, 2012, 12:58 PM

I've copied 8.1 files over 8.03 except the config files, and all admin links have vanished so I can't generate the XML file and there is no administrative rights if I delete the install directory, and I go to the upgrade.php there is no option to upgrade from 8.03 to 8,1

What I need to remake?

If go to admin-inc.php there is a warning that I don't have admin rights...

I've read to uninstall ppost plugin before upgrading. I'ts this the way?

Have you ran the upgrade script? It sounds to me like you have not ran the upgrade. The usergroup captcha field is added in 8.1 and if you did not run your upgrade meaning that field does not exist that means we can not grab the usergroup info. You will never be an admin till you run the upgrade for 8.03 to 8.1 to add in the required fields.

The upgrade instructions are very clear you upload everything run the upgrade and then for vb4 you can go to adm-index.php which is admin and redo the xml provided you have applied all proper permissions.

Number one issue with upgrading is no one reads the documentation.

delfi_r · June 25th, 2012, 12:56 AM

I've reverted my main site, so you can see it's 8.03.

My test site is vbulletin.e-espai.es and there the upgrade is done (with errors as there is only 7->8 upgrade settings (not 8.03 to 8.1) and there I have the new menu and there I have the permissions applied (before the upgrade) and no permissions now.

On my production site the upgrade process didn't bring the new menu, so the no permissions message appeared going to adm-index.php

config files saved from 8.03 to 8.1: config-inc.new.php, config-int.new.php; config-int.php and config-inc.php, so no problems appeared when reverting files.

Upgrade instructions applied:
Copy the content to the site except config.files
Run upgrade.php (this fails!!!!! if you apply 7->8 upgrade)
Delete install directory to access to site
run adm-index.php to re-generate the xml plugins file

If there is more documentation to read, please point me there. I hadn't problems to update to 8.03 and to apply the fix for working on vB4.20.

upgrade.php (7->8) generates this message:

There is nothing like 'usergroup captcha field' in the errors

Chuck S · June 25th, 2012, 08:13 AM

You will get a duplicate error if the query is already done so that looks normal. You should not have reverted as you where probally so close.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You would have to give me more info to assist you buddy. All the numerous upgrades installs I have done in the past couple weeks has been with 8.1 as well as I run it on several sites so I know without question it works.

The issue you reported clearly has only one resolution as without that captcha field you will never have admin access in the 8.1 series. The forum integration files where all updated.

You can send site data to me if you want me to look through the contact us link in the header.

delfi_r · June 25th, 2012, 09:13 AM

You have the details in the mailbox.

Where the captcha field is set before the upgrade?

Chuck S · June 25th, 2012, 09:58 AM

The captcha field is set when you run the upgrade.

delfi_r · June 25th, 2012, 10:05 AM

In my test site there is the upgrade done and the captcha field creation failed as I have no admin rights, the same was on the production site, but there I have reverted.

If I go to Phpmyadmin I can see if something is there or not. But upgrade.php should produce a log to see what is wrong.

I'll hold and investigate.

Chuck S · June 25th, 2012, 10:09 AM

well then we need to understand why your upgrade for that field is failing then.

what does it say if you run that query in phpmyadmin?

ALTER TABLE pp_usergroups ADD captcha INT(3) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL AFTER canassign;

delfi_r · June 25th, 2012, 10:35 AM

pp_usergroups?

pp_sergroups doesn't exists

Exit With: ALTER TABLE pp_usergroups ADD captcha INT(3) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL AFTER canassign

Chuck S · June 25th, 2012, 10:38 AM

LOL thats just a typo on my part in that post.

The query is sound so if you run that query what happens?

delfi_r · June 25th, 2012, 10:50 AM

All done, and working now at Actividad - Foro Leica M en Español

What I need to do now is to translate the menus in the Navtab manager.

When I run the query, the result was just OK! as expected and the table created so when I run the upgrade.php there is an error (not fatal) that says duplicate table creation, but I haven't captured the error on the screen.

I'll redo on the test server and post.

Chuck S · June 25th, 2012, 11:55 AM

No need to as I beleive I already posted when I saw your site things looked fine.

genehunter · August 7th, 2012, 11:22 AM

Chuck S · August 7th, 2012, 01:12 PM

Our latest announcement states the latest version is 8.12 so you can download that as it is the latest
