    vBulletin 2.0.2 Released

    vBulletin 2.0.2

    vBulletin 2.0.2 is another minor bug fix and maintenance release to correct some minor bugs in 2.0.1, as well as a few new features. None of these are serious, and many just affect a few cases. There are also various new features to help with the admin side of things, and a couple of new features for the users. It is worth upgrading if you can - if you don't, and you try to report a problem, then we will be likely to ask you to upgrade first.

    Backing up forums

    Please be sure to check your backups, that they are complete before continuing with an upgrade. We had reports that PHP was causing time out errors when creating the back up SQL, and this was causing for incomplete or corrupted backups. The safest way to do a backup is to use the mysqldump utility through telnet, as it will not suffer from any such problems.

    New Installation Instructions

    For fresh installations, you must run the install.php file in the admin directory. Before you do this, take the config.php.new file, edit it to contain your details, then upload it as config.php to the server.

    Then you can run through the install.php script in much the same way as old install scripts. More details instructions are in the vBulletin online manual:


    Upgrade instructions:

    >From 1.1.x:
    Upload all the files, then run the upgrade1.php scrint in the admin area. When you are done, be sure to delete install.php and all the upgradex.php scripts.

    > From 2.0 betas and release candidates:
    Information is available here to upgrade to 2.0.0:

    Then follow the instructions below for upgrading to 2.0.2
    (Note: don't upload the new sessions.php until you run upgrade11.php -- it will give you an error and prevent your from upgrading)

    > From 2.0.0
    Upload upgrade10.php, upgrade11.php and vbulletin.style. Run upgrade10.php and proceed through all the steps. Run through upgrade11.php and now uploaded the rest of the files. When you are done, be sure to delete install.php and all the upgradex.php scripts.

    > From 2.0.1
    Upload all the files, then run the upgrade11.php script in the admin area. When you are done, be sure to delete install.php and all the upgradex.php scripts.
    note: these instructions have been updated and simplified to allow for a few changes in the code that allow you to follow the normal upgrading procedure. If this note doesn't make any sense to you, don't worry. If it does, download the code again from the members area, and then follow the upgrade instructions as shown above.
