Updating from version 1.xx to 2.xx

[LaocheXe]

I went and did a test update of my website that is running the last e107 v 1.xx that was released. It worked great - only issue is when it came to the forums.

Our forums have sub-forums, it copied the forum parents, and forum section but no forum post's - no post was converted over to the new version of e107 2.xx

i have the same problem. the last 2 lines in the system debug: Found setup file download_setup.php Setup function download_setup :: upgrade_required () NOT found

[Moc]

Were no forum topics converted at all? Or just not those in the sub-forums?

Edit: nevermind, I understand now. So no topics are converted at all?

[LaocheXe]

None where converted over.

[rustedmuffler]

The framework for the top level forums appears to be there, but, there is no content (empty), the sub forums (framework) were not created at all.

[LaocheXe]

Correct - That is the only reason I have not upgraded to the new version yet.

Same issue here....

[RCEE007]

got those errors:

Error

Creating table forum_new

Creating table forum_thread

Creating table forum_post

Creating table forum_track

Creation of table(s) failed. You can not continue until these are created successfully!

[Moc]

I'll work on testing this asap.

I cannot reproduce this on two platforms (linux and windows)...

Can you share some more information on your platforms?

• Operating System,
• PHP version
• MYSQL version

[Moc]

Actually, @RCEE007 You get that error when the new tables could not be created. It could be that the tables are in fact already there. Are you trying to run the update procedure twice? Please describe your steps very specificity

@LaocheXe Please share more information:

• Were you able to go through all the 12 steps? Did you get stuck anywhere?
• What does the table structure currently look like? And their contents?

Thanks

Indeed, the problem is already existing tables...... It works if i remove the tables manually but...only if i run the forum update trough the plugin manager first.

[RCEE007]

PHP Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.8

MySQL 5.5.38-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Database: xxxxxx

but...only if i run the forum update trough the plugin manager first.

Hang on, I don't understand. After you have overwritten the v1 files with the v2 files, you should get a database upgrade message. First you go through the v1 to v2 core updates then it also lists plugins that need to be updated including the forum plugin. Currently there is a bug which prevents proper redirection but upon pressing the update button you should be taken to e107_plugins/forum/forum_update.php. You'll have to go through that process ones.

Did you follow these steps? Where did you get stuck specifically? Which step?

[Moc]

pressing "forum update" does nothing

Correct, this bug is tracked here #710

i then go to plugin manager & update forum...this works i run trough all steps.

Now after running through the 12 steps. Is the forum update completed successfully? As in: do the forums and their topics appear?

Correct, this bug is tracked here #727

@LaocheXe and @rustedmuffler Please share more information:

• Were you able to go through all the 12 steps? Did you get stuck anywhere? Any errors?
• What does the table structure currently look like? And their contents?

[rustedmuffler]

i can't get it work. it would be helpful if the upgrade process had some better reporting on the steps. and some what to do next.

I can create a backup site and give you access if you want see what is happening and it would help others.

@rustedmuffler:

i can't get it work.

I get that, but I need more information to help you out and try to fix this for you. That's why I have some very specific questions that I'd like you to answer:

• Were you able to go through all the 12 steps? Did you get stuck anywhere? Any errors?
• What does the table structure currently look like? And their contents?

If you enable debug mode (enable developers mode (preferences > advanced) and change the URL to include ?[debug=basic+] at the end, e.g. e107_plugins/forum/forum_update.php?[debug=basic+]) you'll receive more information during the upgrade process.

Sure. Please send me the login information to e107@tijnkuyper.nl Please also include the login information for the database if possible.

Fixed @rustedmuffler's issue. During the forum update procedure, one of the installed plugins caused a javascript conflict which rendered us unable to click the button on one of the forum update steps. (think it was step 6). Nothing would happen when this button was clicked. Uninstalling the plugin (lightbox - added to the incompatible plugins list already) fixed the issue.

@LaocheXe I need to have more information from you otherwise I'll close this issue.

Closing, feel free to provide more information as requested in my previous reply. I'll then reopen the issue.
