I know this is an IPB question I should be asking at IPB.com, but I don't want to ask them there as I love it here :)

The IPB database that is being used has a password on of course, and I don't know it. I wanted to find it somewhere in the files through FTP as I can with vB in the config file. I need to back up the database so I can run test impex convertions. Can anyone that is fimilar with IPB let me know what the heck the config file is located so I can see the password used? ]]> vBulletin 3.7 Installation and Upgrades korny30 http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?325459-I-am-going-to-be-converting-a-IPB-forum-to-vB 3.7.1 to vB4 http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?323220-3-7-1-to-vB4&goto=newpost Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:30:39 GMT I'm on 3.7.1 and not well versed in installations or upgrades.

Do I really have to go through this long config file manually and copy and paste stuff from the old config file? or can I just keep the old one? ]]> vBulletin 3.7 Installation and Upgrades Shoonra http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?322525-Upgrading-to-3-74-from-3-6-8 install to newest vbulletin error http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?321397-install-to-newest-vbulletin-error&goto=newpost Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:07:22 GMT

I had to pay renewal fee on Jan 29, 2009, which I didn't. So I am not receiving any upgrades from this january.

MY QUESTIONS ARE:

1. I don't want 'Publishing suite'. I just want '4.0 Forum'. So what are my options? Buy new license of '4.0 Forum'?

2. I am seeing version 3.8.x files in members area. If I didn't pay for them, why they are listed in my member area?

Does anyone have any ideas?

The board is very stable when reverting to 3.6.6, but I can't even get anywhere near the 3.7.7 upgrade scripts due to this error - unless I press continue with the upgrade anyway - which of course will be waltzing into a minefield....... :eek: ]]> vBulletin 3.7 Installation and Upgrades gpzzone http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?319103-Failed-upgrade Issue trying to install vBulletin 3.7.4 http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?318988-Issue-trying-to-install-vBulletin-3-7-4&goto=newpost Tue, 29 Sep 2009 02:38:36 GMT Hello

I got to Step 2 of the online process (through install/install.php) and got this error:

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.
