error going from 3.5.4 > 3.6

[stuartc1]

Hi,

After downloading the latest version 3.6, I upload the files in the 'upload' folder to the root my forum (after closing the forums).

I then ran the /install/upgrade.php script.

I was told it would update to version 3.5.5 ?? weird

I then clicked the ''Next Step (1/1)' button..

I got this message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare delete_product() (previously declared in /home/mysite/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions.php:3195) in /home/mysite/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_plugin.php on line 21


Any ideas why it is trying to go to version 3.5.5 and not 3.6? Also any ideas why I get this error?

Many thanks,
Stuart

The upgrade script runs through each version until the latest version. It goes to 3.5.5 first and then through all the betas.

Make sure you've uploaded all the 3.6.0 files, overwriting your current files.

Thank Colin - I'm uploading all files again - first time I used cPanel's file manager to unpack the files, but sometimes it fails to overwrite... so hopefully that will work.

I'll post the results as it may help anyone else in this position (if I'm successful, that is).

Worked :)

The problem with uploading and unzipping files using cPanel file manager - it only expands new files/directories - existing files do not get overwriten.

So upload using conventional FTP :)

Another note: I download the package without images as I didn't think any new images where in the upgrade, I was wrong. So download the full package for upgrades.

Finally - remember your database details as you may need to update them manually in the config file.

These where the 3 problems I encountered, hopefully this will help someone else out.

Thanks Colin for your quick help!
