Hey guys, nice work on the final relase. I just have a question before i updgrade.

I currently use a stock IM 1.40 with phpbb2.0.21.

1. Do i have to update to phpbb 2.0.22 first?

2. I see there is a single update file only, do i use this?

3. Do i have to download the full package and upload any files from that e.g. i think i need to upload cracker tracker folder....or should i just upload everything.

4. Will i lose anything like my banners, extra portal pages or anything?



Thanks a million guys!

Edit_
Just reread the instructions there. It says to upload all files. In doing this, will this cause me to lose any banners or albums photos or downloads etc?

To answer your last question: Nope. You will not lose any of that stuff because the information for that is stored in your database.

Make sure to save your logo though because that will be lost, but you can just re-upload it once you're done.

It may be to late to add this but make sure you backup your files and DB before doing ANYTHING just in case!

yup did, cheers mate.

I back up files on server using Cpanel, its nice and quick, then download the db.sql from the configuration tab in the acp. I am currently uploading all the files so i will know how it goes.

I forgot I also had another answer to your questions in your first post.

My forums were running phpbb 2.0.20 and the upgrade worked just fine for me.

The db update .script in the IM 132/140 to 141 package will update phpBB from version 2.0.13, since IM 132 was 2.0.13(the oldest copy I could find anyway).

And no, uploading and overwriting your files from the package will not destroy any of your data. Just make sure you do not overwrite your config.php file. You don't need install or prill_install either, but it won't hurt if you did, you can just delete them.

Ok done guys, and wow. It looks great. It only toke me 4hours to upload all the files but it is worth it.

But now when i go to re-enable the board....



CBACK CrackerTracker has detected a potential attack on this site with a worm or exploit .script so the Security System stopped the .script.


If you can see this page after including a new MOD into your board or after clicking on a link please contact the Board Administrator with this error message and a de.scription what you have done before you could see this page, that the Admin has the possibility to fix the problem.
