Step by Step Instructions to upgrade from v1.4 to v1.5

[andrea]

Did you run the upgrade.php ?

If not only run it if you first did this:
First of all: did you backup your db structure and data with phpmyadmin or another tool?

[jasonsn]

that error is without upgrading. please help.

[andrea]

So did you make a fresh install? Can you give the url to your board and to your phpinfo?

Case you are upgrading, again: make *first* a backup of your database before you do any further steps. If you do not know how to backup your database read this faq:
http://www.yabbse.org/community/index.php?board=135;action=display;threadid=15902

[jasonsn]

http://jasonsn.ath.cx/yabbse/index.php.  i want to upgrade but don't know how.  please upgrade it for me.

[andrea]

Can you PM me your password?

[jasonsn]

I have pmed you my username and password.  I can't remember the password for admin account can you fix that too?

[andrea]

I have pmed you my username and password.  I can't remember the password for admin account can you fix that too?

The informations you PM'ed me are incomplete. What for are that username and password? I need the ftp and the phpmyadmin access data and also a valid board username and password.

4) Upload upgrade.php in ASCII to your YaBBSE directory

I someone to tell me  how to upload as ASCII, binary files and how to chmod using LeapFTP.

Can someone please help me out here?  

Andrea:  I have you the correct information you needed.  I hope I did.

[andrea]

Ok I got the ftp and forum username and password. Those seem to work.

Still missing username and password for accessing the database. Maybe your host offers cpanel or something similar? Those access data are needed.

I truly don't know what you talking about.  I have no clue.

[andrea]

I will fix your admin access as soon I have access to your db management.

Furthermore I need to know what exactly happened with your board: what exactly have you done?

Which was the precise board version you started from? 1.4.0 or 1.4.1?

Looks like 1.4.1 sources are installed now. Is the db on 1.4.0?

Question: did you make any backups of your database? If not I will try to backup your database first as soon I have access to the database management (see my previous post).

If you do not understand what I am talking from: I suppose you did never save your database, right?

[andrea]

Lets try it this way:

Which company is your hosting provider? Do you still have the email you got from your host when your account was activated. This email usually contains all access data. Can you pm me a copy of this email?

I had version 1.4.1 not 1.4.0.  I don't know exactly what I have done.  It all started when I wasn't loggined as my admin.  I re-uploaded everything to try and fix the problem.  But it never worked.  The db is 1.4.1 I think.  No I never backuped my database before I

[jasonsn]

I don't have that e-mail either.  A guy on the Internet set it up for me.  Unless you want to start from scratch and set up new boards for me.  The latest version too.  But register Aero again when you do it.  Or send me the member names before you start over.
