Kdaddy Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I have the phpbb set up with the uniserver on my computer now. Up and running great. I tried updating to the 2.0.13 update that just came out. But when I do the update to lastest. It still shows that I have the 2.0.12 version. I have made the changes. Any ideals what I need to do in order to get it to update appropriately. If this is in the wrong section or place I apoligize and ask that you direct me to the right place. I put in the address bar localhost/install/update_to_latest.php. It appears to do the update but when I go into the admin panel it doesn't show it has updated.

Guest Guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 It's just a version number in the database. You can update it by running a small DB query (should be included in files and explained in docs), or edit it manually (easiest) - table 'phpbb_config', field 'version' - edit from '.0.12' to '.0.13'.

My test board didn't for some reason. I don't think i'm going to sweat it though I know the appropriate changes are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 apart from the edit to the session.php no actual DB updates are really made except for the version number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spuri Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I have just updated my phpbb have you already run install/update_to_latest.php ?you should check the version number on the admin panel (left-bottom)its removed from the main page footer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 He already mentioned it was still showing version 2.0.12, but he has done the updates and run update_to_latest.php. And the version checker was removed during the changes between 2.0.11 to 2.0.12 Just check the Database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Sorry, not much of a PHPBB expert. I used it once when i was testing out which is best but prefered IPB for some reason unknown? Though i hate them now for back stabbing us and removing the free version. Someone had to buy this one for us.... :) Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdaddy Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 The above mentioned problem was fixed with a fresh install of the latest version and applied the mods that I wanted. I am trying to get my test board up to par so I can load it to the live board. I backed up my live board database and did the restore to my test board. Now herein lies my new problem. I restored db, updated to latest. Now when I try to get into my test board I get the following message: Critical Error! message_die() was called multiple times. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error #1 Could not find the main administrator Line : 674 File : W:\www\includes\class_config.php -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error #2 Could not open template config file Line : 445 File : W:\www\includes\functions.php -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please, contact the webmaster. Thank you. Now I would contact the webmaster but that is suppose to be me. If anyone could tell me what I missed or what it is that I'm suppose to be fixing. I would appreciate any direction. Thanks Kdaddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Did you install "Categories hierarchy 2.1.0" because I know that included a class_config.php in the includes file. If you did fresh install, what that downloading the latest version of 2.0.13? And when you updated the DB was is only the DATA. Because if you did use CH2.1.0 the DB changes dramatically.

Kdaddy Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yes I installed Ch2.1.0. I also did a full backup restore and put the update to latest from the 2.0.13 install. Is there a way to salvage it? Is there a way to make it work because I don't want to lose the post and information that is on my live board. 1.)Fresh install of 2.0.132.)Ch2.1.03.)easymod4.)Blog mod 0.2.05.)Crushers IP logger All except #1 & 2 were installed on my live board.

Kdaddy Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Well disregard above post. Started over from scratch and only tried to restore the data only. I get this error: General Error Error importing backup file DEBUG MODE SQL Error : 1062 Duplicate entry '10' for key 1 INSERT INTO phpbb_categories (cat_id, cat_title, cat_order) VALUES('10', 'Laughter is the best Medicine', '70') Line : 980 File : admin_db_utilities.php] I went into myphpadmin and I see the above line in categories. What do I need to change to make this data work? Should I do a structure db restore too? Any help will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hem... I need to think about that, I am not good with DB jargon lol. Also i assume that before you did you updates you already had CH2.1 installed correct? Well did you back up all your files and data prior to your update to 2.0.12 and to 2.1.13?

Well did you back up all your files and data prior to your update to 2.0.12 and to 2.1.13?91[/snapback] I am doing all of this on my test board. I have deleted and reinstalled a fresh install of 2.0.13 phpbb, I added my template that I use. I then have done various ways of restoring db. I have tried structure only, data only which gives me the above error. I have done a full backup restore. The full back up restore gives me all my data. However, now when I try to go anywhere on my test board it jumps me to my live board. When I disconnect from the internet, then I can't get out of the index page. I am definately learning to manuver around myphpadmin since I started this. I don't have any sql db experience up to this point. Any ideals how I can make the full back up work since I get all my post back that way? Appreciate your time. Kdaddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 If you get any errors or problem that might come from the server side, feel free to submit a thread to the support forum because i will not know...

AlleyKat Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 The problem with it jumping to your live board is easily solved. Open phpMyAdmin, open table phpbb_config (or whatever prefix you're using) and Browse it. Find field 'server_name' and change its value to 'localhost'. Find field 'script_path' and change that value to the path you're using in the www-folder. Thats it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdaddy Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I changed those two values and when I click on the go to admin it still jumps to my index page on the live forum. What else do I need to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlleyKat Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hmm I'm quite certain that those 2 values are the only ones you need to change, unless you've made significant changes to the phpBB login or admin system - if you log out and in again in phpBB, it should certainly work.

Kdaddy Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 If there where siginificant changes I am not aware that I did them. When I have time again I guess I will start from the beginning again and see if that helps. I have done a full restore in order to get all my data to transfer. The data only or stucture with the data to follow doesn't work. It errors out like in the post above. However I am working all weekend so I won't be able to play with it much. Hopefully I can get it to work and stop bothering ya'll. Thanks Kdaddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlleyKat Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 hmm you *did* remember to change the info in the config.php file? If not, your local version could be running on your online database... be very careful you don't mess them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdaddy Posted March 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I didn't change the config.php. I initally did that before your previous suggestions but didn't think to do that after making the aforementioned adjustments. I will do that first chance I get and let you know how it goes. Only two more shifts left after today then I can play again. I was fortunate that I realized that it was jumping to my live forum because I was about to make some major changes, and that wouldn't have been good.

Kdaddy Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Well I got the server to live board problem worked out. I now have a my test server running locally. I am curious if anyone would be willing to instruct me on why I can't do a data only restore. I get the following SQLl error when I try : Error importing backup file DEBUG MODE SQL Error : 1062 Duplicate entry '10' for key 1 INSERT INTO phpbb_categories (cat_id, cat_title, cat_order) VALUES('10', 'Laughter is the best Medicine', '70') Line : 980 File : admin_db_utilities.php I'm still a major novice when it comes to SQL. What I have done so far is install a fresh vanilla added my template bluelagoon, the following mods, easymod,and weblog. I try to restore with data only when I have the fresh install and I get the same error. Complete restore doesn't seem to advance my cause. Not sure what I'm looking for to change. Thanks Kdaddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdaddy Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Well if ya'll leave me alone long enough I will have this all fiqured out talking to myself. I found the solution to my problems thanks for the input previously. I did a full restore and added the additional table for the weblog mod that I installed. The weblog information was the only data that I was missing and needed to transfer. I have that now and am off to play. This was the info that helped me. As far as I know, the phpBB backup feature only backs up the default tables. However, you can tell it to back up additional tables by listing the tables with a comma between tables.

AlleyKat Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Glad you got it working - sorry, has been busy with other stuff so didn't come by this forum. I always do all my backups via phpMyAdmin, so I didn't even think of that. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
