I'm attempting to upgrade fud from version 2.0.2 to the new version (2.3) and i'm getting some errors when running the upgrade script. I went through the following steps

1.moved upgrade.php to my forum WWWROOT
2.set the forum and data directorys to be writable chmod a+w
3.Ran the upgrade.php in my web browser

---------and i get the following output:---------------

Beginning the file upgrade process
File Upgrade Complete
Any changed files were backed up to: "/usr/local/www/forum/errors/.backup/"

Warning: Failed opening '/usr/local/www/forum/include/theme/default/db.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/local/www/forum/include/core.inc on line 54

FATAL ERROR: your forum's MySQL account does not have permissions to create new MySQL tables
Enable this functionality and restart the script.


---------------------------------------------------------

This output would lead me to believe that it's trying to access my sql account with the wrong user name or password. I checked my SQL end of things and the FUD user has the rights to access tables so that's not it.

And not only did the update fail it has rendered the previous version useless (i assume the code transfered fine since i get runtime errors calling new tables) Any help on this urgent downtime issue would be great.

Warning: Failed opening '/usr/local/www/forum/include/theme/default/db.inc'


This is the cause of the problem.

It is quite likely that running the upgrade script the 2nd time will resolve the problem.

hmm that file didn't exist in that location, I have a db.inc in
'/usr/local/www/forum/include/db.inc' but not in ./include/themes/default/

i created that directory and moved db.inc and err.inc there but i am still getting the sql error messages.

Copying files manually, is not a good idea, it will only cause problems in the long run.
Give me a few minutes to look over the code and I'll have a fix or suggestions on how to resolve this problem.

The idea of the upgrade script is that you retain all existing data when doing an upgrade.
The problem you've come across should be resolved in the attached upgrade script.

That gives me the same error, an undefined call to get_fud_table_list():

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_fud_table_list() in /usr/local/www/data/forum/upgrade.php on line 456

I think you may be running the wrong script, since in mine there is absolutely nothing on line #456.

Whoops it's an error on 472, regardless it's coming from the same method call.

Most unusual, I'll send you the upcomming upgrade script that will be part of 2.3.1 release, it should address the problem.

Ok well I needed the forum up for my development team. I reinstalled the standalone bianaries in a diffrent database, but i'd like to move the old categories from the previous version if possible?

You can use the datadump & dataimport feature to accomplish this task.

FYI, I just attempted an upgrade from 1.2.8 -> 2.0.2 -> 2.3.0. I'm using the FUDforum2_oldupgrade_20020613.tar.bz2 and FUDforum2_upgrade_20020826.tar.bz2 upgrade scripts.

The first part went ok, seemed to have a running 2.0.2 with no problems.

However running the 2.3.0 upgrade.php script totally hosed the forums. First I got the error message about get_fud_table_list() function not existing (it is called from the upgrade.php file, but I cant find the function defined anywhere).

Rerunning the upgrade.php script gives the following error:

Warning: Failed opening '/web/toymods.org.au/html/msgboard/include/theme/default/db.inc' 
for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear')
in /web/toymods.org.au/html/msgboard/include/core.inc on line 54
FATAL ERROR: your forum's MySQL account does not have permissions to create new MySQL tables
Enable this functionality and restart the script.


Now include/theme/ doesnt even exist so I'm not sure where that one's coming from. Plus havent seen /usr/share/pear before either :-/ And the account I'm use most certainly does have permissions to create new tables Sad

Trying to connect to the forums now gives the following error:

--------------------------------------
Error in function/script: db.inc
has caused the following error: query failed: %( UPDATE 
fud_users SET last_visit=__REQUEST_TIMESTAMP__ WHERE id=1 )% 
because %( Unknown column '__REQUEST_TIMESTAMP__' in 'field

Reason: Unknown column '__REQUEST_TIMESTAMP__' in 'field list'

Anyway I'm going to revert back to 1.2.8 and do the 2.0.2 upgrade again and see how I go. Hope this info helps you in figuring out the problem.

Wait until 2.3.1 and then try again. This release will have a new upgrade script that I've tested against virtually all versions of FUDforum starting 2.0.2

Thanks! Heard nothing but good responses from our users about 2.0.2, so looking forward to 2.3.1.

That is good to hear Smile.

I expect 2.3.1 to be released on Friday, so your wait should not be long.
