phpBB updates

[DjPorkchop]

Hello all, I am running an out of date, VERV out of date version of phpBB and would like to update.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

[DjPorkchop]

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. Have a great day. Ray

What is your base phpBB version?

All updates (after v 2.0.17) can be foudn here - http://www.integramod.com/forum/dload.p ... &cat_id=29

[DjPorkchop]

2.0.17 is mine and for the record, I must have been very tired to over look those downloads. Im terribly sry for wasting good peoples time. My apologies. BUT will i have to reinstall all of my mods?

[Helter]

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

[DjPorkchop]

Ok thx alot. Ill give it a shot after backup of course. <img>

do one update at a time. and make backups inbetween each one.

[DjPorkchop]

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.

[DjPorkchop]

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?

[Teelk]

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.

[DjPorkchop]

well its been quite sometime since this thread was made but must ask anyhow. I upgraded one of my boards and didnt ask any questions after my last entry into this post BUT upon further review it was stupid of me not to.

there are a couple of instances in the upgrade from 2.0.17 to 2.0.18 where it says to find a line and nothing after it. No replace, no before, no after no nothing.

There are some instances where it says find and the same exact line is found multiple times. Uhhhh I got it right once but am double checking this time as this is my REAL site that im playing with now and cant afford to crash it. Got full backups but still the only stupid question is the one that wasnt asked. So here goes.....

Code: Select all

##-----[ OPEN ]---------------------------------------------#posting.php##-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------# NOTE --- This is a partial match, the whole line on a fresh installation looks like this]---------------------------------------------#( !$submit ) ? "  ##-----[ IN-LINE REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------#(!$submit) ? '  ##-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]---------------------------------------------#, u.user_sig  ##-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]---------------------------------------------#, u.user_sig_bbcode_uid  ##-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]---------------------------------------------#"  ##-----[ IN-LINE REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------#'  Is this referring to the " after user_sig?  ##-----[ OPEN ]---------------------------------------------#profilcp/profilcp_privmsg.php##-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------#         if ( !empty($HTTP_GET_VARS['b']) )  ##-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------#         }           if ( $mode == 'edit' )  ##-----[ REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------#         }         else if ( $mode == 'edit' )  What goes in between the 2 finds?    ##-----[ OPEN ]---------------------------------------------#admin/admin_board.php  ##-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------#     "CONFIRM_DISABLE" => $confirm_no,  ##-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------#     "ACTIVATION_NONE_CHECKED" => $activation_none,  (This is found twice, once on line 552 and once more on line 559,  do this edit twice? or just 559???  ##-----[ REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------#     'ALLOW_AUTOLOGIN_YES' => $allow_autologin_yes,     'ALLOW_AUTOLOGIN_NO' => $allow_autologin_no,     'AUTOLOGIN_TIME' => (int) $new['max_autologin_time'],  Once again, what goes in between the two finds?  ##-----[ OPEN ]---------------------------------------------#includes/page_header.php  ##-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------#     phpBBSecurity_Cookies();  ##-----[ REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------#     //phpBBSecurity_Cookies();  I dont have that line to find.  Could it be because Im allready upgraded to pbpBB Security latest version?  ##-----[ OPEN ]---------------------------------------------#includes/functions_validate.php  ##-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------#         if ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))  

Uhhhh this is found not once but 5 times on this page. Replace the one and leave the next 4 alone?

These instructions are not for the newbie at all and I been at it now for a couple years and I all of a sudden feel like a newbie again. Im frustrated and am only halfway through the upgrade to .18 and premodded files are out of the question due to the modifications on my board.

I understand I could wait for the upgrade to 1.4.1 BUT Im still getting hacked on this one site and badly need to get these upgrades done asap. Like I said this is my live board and am trying to make heads or tails from this and am stuck.

thx for your help in advance


Ray

**UPDATE**
And all was edited per instructions, this is what I got.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare phpbb_ltrim() (previously declared in /home/midwest/domains/mweva.com/public_html/includes/functions.php:424) in /home/midwest/domains/mweva.com/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 453

[DjPorkchop]

No takers on this? Im quite surprised.

[Teelk]

I'd just go with an IM 141 update.

[DjPorkchop]

yeah........... Very good point. BUT Im kicking back reading watching the posts just roll in. My site isnt real active but active enough. Im heavily modded and use a custom theme. Im not sure of the status of my mods working with the new version and dont have the zip files with install doc anymore to make the necessary changes to remove them. Im not sure if my user posts would be saved, or any of that at all. I cant risk my live board going down and loosing all of my info for something that isnt might not work for me. **Rolls the dice**

So as you can see it is very important for me to get the correct updates that i implied about before.Or do the update and just loose every user i have. Take my pick?

[Teelk]

You could try to run the db update .script from 2.0.22 and then do the IM update, I don't see why that wouldn't work.
