Has anyone sucessfully migrated from PHPBB with IM Portal to IntegraMod2?
I've just finished building a snake site using IntegraMod2 and love all the features and included Mods.. saves me a lot of time and development.
I have a stamping site that my wife runs and currently it's on PHPBB and IMPortal. I want to upgrade... no bones about it
Any ideas?

There is a download here to migrate phpbb to integramod....it si beta stage but has so far proven successful...it would just been you have to remove importal first so has to not cause any problems...

you will avoid errors if you remove the added db fields from your db before running the update
- Code: Select all
# #-----[ SQL ]-------[execute from phpMyAdmin]------------# DROP TABLE IF EXISTS phpbb_block_position; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS phpbb_block_variable; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS phpbb_blocks; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS phpbb_layout; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS phpbb_portal_config;
as always, be sure to have a complete file and db backup before you update

I ran the beta migration program and all I have to say is WOW
it ran on my dev site with only one issue and that is with calling minical, I'm going to blame that on the fact that my dev is in windows.
I did a table comparison and saw that the table names were the same so I took a chance and did not remove importal
The upgrade retained all my block info
So HelterSkelter?
I owe you one

glad it worked for you. The minical problem is common to about 1 in 3 or 4 installs. I have not figured out why the same db can sometimes have this issue and sometimes not, but when I figure it out, it wont be beta anymore...lol

so it's a DB error and not a permissions issue?
interesting
well I'll start picking apart my database and see if I find anything

usually the tables do not get written, even though the script shows success at writting them. you can manually add them though

HelterSkelter:
I was just working on a different dev site on a freebsd host.
Now I did have a calendar mod running on my old site and during the upgrade I noticed this.
# INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_calendar_version', 'TOPIC')
+++ Error: Duplicate entry 'mini_cal_calendar_version' for key 1
# INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_limit', '10')
+++ Error: Duplicate entry 'mini_cal_limit' for key 1
# INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_days_ahead', '30')
+++ Error: Duplicate entry 'mini_cal_days_ahead' for key 1
# INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_date_search', 'POSTS')
+++ Error: Duplicate entry 'mini_cal_date_search' for key 1
# INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_link_class', 'gensmall')
+++ Error: Duplicate entry 'mini_cal_link_class' for key 1
# INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_today_class', 'topicTitle')
+++ Error: Duplicate entry 'mini_cal_today_class' for key 1
I stopped at that point, restored my database, edited db_update3.php to drop the existing minical entries and ran again with no problems
Hope this helps some

ok this is high weirdness....
I've run the upgrade a couple of times now and I'm stuck...
The index.php is bringing up a blank page, but search.php works and viewtopic.php does too.
In fact.. everything works except index.php
I double checked all the permissions too

ok, i had that problem once and I traced it down to a missing ?> (php close) at the end of a file. You may have a file that was uploaded incomplete by ftp.

Finally got back to this after fighting with ym webhost for a few days on other issues.
I have the upgrade running on my dev site and here is what I saw with the minical issue:
Here is what was existing in my phpbb_config table
- Code: Select all
INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_calendar_version', '');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_calendar_version_over', '0');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_limit', '');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_limit_over', '0');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_days_ahead', '');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_days_ahead_over', '0');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_date_search', '');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_date_search_over', '0');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_link_class', '');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_link_class_over', '0');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_today_class', '');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_today_class_over', '0');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_auth', '');INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('mini_cal_auth_over', '0');
I removed those fields with phpmyadmin and took what was on db_update3.php
- Code: Select all
$sql[] = "INSERT INTO `" . $table_prefix . "config` VALUES ('mini_cal_calendar_version', 'TOPIC')";$sql[] = "INSERT INTO `" . $table_prefix . "config` VALUES ('mini_cal_limit', '10')";$sql[] = "INSERT INTO `" . $table_prefix . "config` VALUES ('mini_cal_days_ahead', '30')";$sql[] = "INSERT INTO `" . $table_prefix . "config` VALUES ('mini_cal_date_search', 'POSTS')";$sql[] = "INSERT INTO `" . $table_prefix . "config` VALUES ('mini_cal_link_class', 'gensmall')";$sql[] = "INSERT INTO `" . $table_prefix . "config` VALUES ('mini_cal_today_class', 'topicTitle')";
and added them via a sql query
and poof no more error
dunno if this help you or not

did you have minical installed on your phpbb before the upgrade?

Not the same one I think
Also... I had to run update_to_latest.php manually because my integramod dir is /Boards.
- Code: Select all
echo '<tr><th><a>GO TO STEP 6</th></tr><tr><td><span>step 5 is done<br>GO TO STEP 6 <a>HERE</a></span></td></tr>'; include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/page_tail.'.$phpEx);
I think if I would have changed it to /install it would have been fine

well here I am again
My upgrade in dev went fine and I have it all configured/customized the way I want.
Last night I went to do the live site and when I was done I would up with the dreaded white screen.
Luckily I had a backup made, so I went back to that and it works fine. I'm running my old files against the new database
I went and rechecked my uploads and they were all the right size, and had the correct permissions
I honestly can't find what the problem is
Any advise?
