running into issues upgrading

[pmlabrier]

I have two active (and modded) forums that I am wanting to upgrade from IMPortal to Integramod. I do NOT want any more downtime than absolutely necessary.

Here is what I am doing:

I use MySqlDumper to create a backup of the database.

The original site is in /phpbb/, so I create a clean new install of 2.0.22 in /forum/. I test the fresh install and all appears well.

I use mysqldumper to restore the data from the active site into the new installs database. I run the Clean_Tables mod that removes everything that is not in an original install and then the update_to_latest .script. I edit the database so that the phpbb_confi is set to the current install directory.

At this point I have an unmodded install of phpbb 2.0.22 with all my users and posts that works fine.

After testing the new install at this point, I follow the instructions on upgrading to Integramod.

When I get to the point of running integramod for the first time There is only one category and forum. The install instructions say to re-sync the database. In the Integramod ACP I cannot find Re-Sync. Does Optimize do the same thing?

I deleted everything and tried it a second time and I got all the way to the step of running phpbb_to_im141.php.

It displayed:

[code]Information  Database type    ]

followed by 340 .'s and has apparently hung.

Any other suggestions?

I stopped the execution of phpbb_to_im141.php after it appeared to be hun for over an hour. I then ran it a second time. This time it got to 485 ".'s" after

Updating to IntegraMOD2 1.4.1

Progress ::

the gave the following error:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: page_header() in /home/labrier/public_html/cardclubs/forum/initial.install/upgrade141.php on line 68"

Any ideas?

not sure about your error, but resync forums is in acp/forum admin/Management +/

Ok, I created an exact duplicate of the forum leaving all the mods and IMPortal there. The duplicate was working perfectly.

I then followed the upgrade install instructions exactly. All appeared to go OK but when I tried to log in I got the following:


"Sorry, this account has exceeded its log in attempts. It is now locked. If you are the rightfull user, please click below to be redirected to a page to unlock your id.

Click Here to unlock your account."

needless to say that did no work since I had not set the security question or answer yet. I then tried to create a new user and when I tried to log in I received the same error?

any ideas?
