Errors during upgrade

dprice · July 20th, 2006, 09:18 AM

I was in the process of upgrading both Photopost and Reviewpost and have been met with errors.

I never made it to Photopost and stopped after the Reviewpost upgrade. I have taken both of them offine and I am about to chuck my laptop out of this five story building.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions_editor.php on line 527

Do I need to fill out a support ticket somewhere? Its been awhile since I upgraded and now I remember why. Don't really want to post my information here since it looks like I can access the admin pages without logging in.

Sorry for venting, but I am just frustrated thats all.

Is that file CHMOD'd to 777?

You need to ensure you upload all the new files. That is a vbulletin file and not a reviewpost file so first we need to ensure your using all the right files. People have been running vbulletin 3.5 and reviewpost for almost a year with no issue so lets take things one step at a time here. Have you ran all upgrades? Since your not posting anything here for us to see we have to get more info of where your at

Also let us know what else your doing as I see by one look at your site your doing more than just upgrading. Your photopost by example is still looking/integrated with ubbthreads and not vbulletin.

I can't find reviewpost anywhere

I actually hid the links for now since they don't seem to be working correctly and I got tired of the "it doesn't work" emails. Also, it appeared that anybody could access the admin files, but I am not sure.

Its under .............. /reviewp/index.php

I uploaded all of the new files via FTP except the 2 config files.

And yes, I ran all upgrades....but is there a way to be sure that I did for sure?

I dont see any errors other than the fact you have not completed correctly switching things to vb3 integration

dprice · July 21st, 2006, 07:46 AM

I have (or I thought) changed all options to make them VB3. Did I miss something somewhere?

Chuck S · July 21st, 2006, 07:59 AM

You would set option 163 to use forumstyle to yes

You would align your usergroups to be vb3 and clear all groups except admin which now has to have a groupid of 6

You would need to input the vb3 license number into your config file of Photopost

You would then align settings 171-173 in the settings table to the proper vb3 cookies

Basically if you try to login with your vb3 username it is invalid

WHERE DO I DO THIS AT?

HOW DO I DO THIS?

You would need to input the vb3 license number into your config file of Photopost

MY VB LICENSE SHOWS UP IN THE ADMIN CONFIG?

You would then align settings 171-173 in the settings table to the proper vb3 cookies

AGAIN, WHERE DO I DO THIS?

Basically if you try to login with your vb3 username it is invalid

Please help....

You do those in the reviewpost settings table all except the config-inc.php edit to place the vb license number in there. If you PM me phpmyadmin login url and info I can assist with the database tweaking

dprice · July 22nd, 2006, 07:16 AM

My vb license number IS in the config-inc.php file?

I will pm you shortly with the other details.

Chuck S · July 22nd, 2006, 08:34 AM

You where integrating with photopost and not vb3

Thanks Chuck!!

Now off to do the Photopost upgrade..

dprice · July 22nd, 2006, 03:09 PM

Well looks like I cannot get into the admin screen on Photopost now and I am getting an error.

I have uploaded all of the new files and completed the upgrades.

/gallery/index.php

Just not my day. Can you help?

Chuck S · July 22nd, 2006, 04:48 PM

check your cookie settings and vblicense number. You sure you realigned your usergroups and set it to integrate with vbulletin

dprice · July 22nd, 2006, 07:40 PM

I didnt change either of the old CONFIG files so why would that have made a difference?

I cannot even get to the admin screen to reaffirm anything. Is there a way around this?

Chuck S · July 23rd, 2006, 08:22 AM

Remember you where not integrating with vbulletin so how do you expect to integrate with it now? You must do the steps I outlined in the thread and linked for you to do. You must use phpmyadmin and align your photopost with vbulletin.

Here is a couple threads to read

changing BBS need advice

Chuck,

it was integrated with VBulletin...thats what I am not understanding. Before I upgraded both reviewpost and photopost, users could move back and forth from Vbulletin with the same login, so I am not sure what you mean by saying I was integrated with Photopost??

I did not have a separate Photopost login.

dprice · July 23rd, 2006, 11:11 AM

Also, you never said which TABLEs I need to be editing and changing the settings.

Chuck S · July 23rd, 2006, 03:05 PM

Your reviewpost was integrated with photopost never vb3 that I saw

The threads I linked clearly say which tables and what to edit

dprice · July 23rd, 2006, 09:36 PM

Ok...Looks like everything is a go, however, I cannot access the admin screen. I check the USERGROUPS table and there was nothing to edit. So I looked in the USERGROUP table and it has all of the different forum usergroups. I checked the Administrator table and it was already set to 6.

Do I still need to delete all of the other usergroups to get the admin screen working? When I try to directly access ADM-INDEX, I get the message that I am not a valid administrator.
