Topic: Trouble using 10_to_11_update.php

Hi all,

I have a friend who's running a 1.0.1 forum and having some troubles with it (mySQL errors). He also wished to upgrade it and also move it to another domain. So I thought I'd help him out.

Before trying on the live server, I tried it on my own domain. Installed 1.0.1, made some posts and then uploaded 1.1 and ran the 10_to_11_update.php in the forum root (www.mydomain.org/forum/) as stated in the installation docs. The docs said that a message should occur. That did not happen.
I tried running it again but with the same results.
Entered my test-forum again, just to get served an empty page sad

This wasn't very encouraging for upgrading my friends 1.0.1 forum...

So, could anyone help out here?

Also, is it perhaps possible to just skip all the upgrading hassles and go directly to 1.2.14? I mean, the guy is going to swap domain and wants to have the punBB installed there too, but do NOT want to get rid of all the previous postings from the old domain. Is that feasible? If so, how?

Tah in advance

Re: Trouble using 10_to_11_update.php

Try this on your "test forum"

1) install 1.0.1
2) make test posts and users and test the forum
3) upload only the 10_to_11_update.php
4) run the script
5) upload only the 11_to_12_update.php, etc... until you get to 1.2.14
6) upload the files/directories in the upload directory in the punbb 1.2.14 installer
7) Change file permissions as described in the 1.2.14 install directions
8) make test posts and users and test the forum

Re: Trouble using 10_to_11_update.php

Mmm, do you have display_errors enabled?

Nope, how do I do that and should I do it? (I'm a punBB noob...)

Re: Trouble using 10_to_11_update.php

You'll need to edit the php.ini on the server or set it via .htaccess I believe

Re: Trouble using 10_to_11_update.php

Try putting this in a .htaccess file

php_value display_errors 1

If that doesn't work, you'll need to download a backup of the database and run it somewhere where you CAN see the error in order to figure out what's wrong

Re: Trouble using 10_to_11_update.php

Would you believe it... This dumb(_*_) (that is; me), uploaded the contents of the ../upload/-folder to exactly just that... ../upload/. Duh... Instead of copying the contents for the forum root. No wonder I didn't get any messages.

Thanks for you time. Sorry for being so stoopid.

Yup, the test installation going from 1.0.1 to 1.2.14 went just fine.
