Hello all, I am running an out of date, VERV out of date version of phpBB and would like to update. I used to see updates such as .16-.17 and so on but not anymore. And from the best of my knoweledge it is NOT possible to go from .17-.21 ehh? Needs some help locating these files if anyone has them available. And really im interested into getting to .20 due to some of the stuff i have been reading about things NOT working correctly with the .21 upgrade. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance.. Ray

if you dont have alot of mods, you can use the beta_phpbb_to_integramod package. Just be sure to follow the instructions to the letter. Dont worry about duplicate field errors when using the update sql files. It just means the tables/fields are already there

I actually have a bunch of them installed. Besides what comes with the package, i have many more like about 10 or 15 to be almost precise. :wink: Have a great day. Ray

you shouldnt have to reinstall any of the mods as long as you DO NOT use the pre modded files. If you do all the file edits, you should be fine

I heard that on the backups. I have a test board setup at my site that i use behind the scenes, we all go to ne. lol BUT yeah Im going to try it there fisrt and see if I can whoop it fair and square before i try it on my live site and see how it goes. I did run the update to latest php lastnight before bed however and all was successful but had one eror.

Error: Mytable_Mytable_SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE does not exist.

SQL: Delete from SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE

Then it proceds to tell me there is most likely nothing to wrry about.....Most likely? I havent proced with file updates til I hear further. lol

Oh and the Mytable represents my table name without throwing it out there. <img>

make sure you update phpBB Security to 1.0.3 and run ps_upgrdae.php before trying to upgrade phpBB

Also, do the file edits for the updates first, before using the db update script. You're getting that error message because SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE isn't defined yet.

Ok guys thx alot. Iheard before on something to run the update script first then the updates but that may have been for a mod. So I can go do my file updates and re run the update to latest script? and by the way im going from .17-.18 then on from there.

It says in the comments of the phpbb upgrade files that one should do the upgrade manually if one has a modified ones board. What counts as "modified board"? I have installed Finnish as the main language and installed some other templates. Can I still use the premodded files?

Hi Gummi,

A modified board means that you've edited files. By the sounds of it, you haven't edited any files, just added another language and more templates. So, you should be ok to use the premodded files. But, you'll want to add the premodded files in the fisubice folder to all of your installed themes.
