Upgraded from 2.0.19 to 2.0.22


What was done to try to solve the problem?




De.scription and Message

Ok, I am preparing to upgrade my site, http://www.cardclubs.net, from 2.0.19 with importal to 2.0.22. I decided to do a trial run yesterday to a test site.

What I have done so far:

I created a duplicate of http://www.cardclubs.net at http://www.CenturionFive.com. It was a fully functional duplicate. I copied the files and database to the new server. All worked fine.

I ran a mod to clean the database back to a plain vanilla install and then did a clean install of 2.0.19 so I was back to a base install with no mods. All worked fine.

I upgraded to 2.0.22 and updated the database. All worked fine.

I followed the install procedures for Integramod 1.41 then all sorts of weirdness ensued.

First problem was that I only had have one forum, Test Forum 1, in one category, Test Category 1. The posts from my first forum of my forum are there, but all others are missing?

Next problem is when I log in I get:

[code]Sorry, it appears this is your first visit since we added some required fields to the system.Once you update the fields marked with  *, you will be able to enjoy the whole site.Thanks!  Click on the fieldnames below to complete them]

I figured I would go to my profile and correct this, but when I try to go to the profile I get the same message.

Also, the install was in phpBB2 and worked fine before installing Integramod but afterwards I keep getting 404 errors because it is looking in phpBB and phpbb for files.

PLEASE HELP! Is there a different way I should have done this?

Update: I changed the directory name from phpBB to phpbb and more is working. It is still looking for phpBB for some things. The setting in configuration is /phpbb/ so why is it still looking for some things in phpBB?

I was able to go to my profile and update it. Will every user have to do this? This will annoy a lot of my members.

I resynced the forums and POOF there they were.

PLEASE HELP! (not shouting, but crying out in desperation!)

when you change the directory, you need to change the path in your db also, or it will redirect back to your original site. to do this, open phpmyadmin and edit phpbb_config .script_path

it probably currently says
Code: Select all
.script_path     /phpBB/

(look around page 8 or 9)

you should also run cookieMOD found here in the general download section. This will make a new proper cookie setting so users will not have cookie issues
