[TruthElixirX]

I upladoed everything and configured the config file now when I run the instal lscript I get this error on the 3 rd page (1st is enter customer number, 2nd is "cuistomer entered number, redirecting)

This is what the 3rd page gives me:

yeah..just like that.

I just did an install without any problems. The first thing I recommend is that you reupload all the original vB non-image files. Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

[TruthElixirX]

Re-uplaoded all non-images in ASCII mode and get the same thing...


EDIT:: I deleted everything and did a fresh upload, now it doesn't even ask for custoemr number jsut gives me those squiggly characters...Corrupted .zip maybe?

[Shane]

What i did to upgrade was I deleted all the files, including the images. Since the database is always separate (and if you are using the database for attachments and avatars) you should delete all the files and upload the files brand new and then run the install/upgrade script.

if you have attachments by file system, you might want to move them into the database first before doing my steps.

[TruthElixirX]

I'm donig a completely new install, not an upgrade. It is a clean database and clean install and everything..

Or di I misunderstand you?

[Steve Machol]

This almost certainly is due to bad or improperly uploaded files.

[Shane]

I guess I mis-understood you. Try uploading in binary. I did that and I had no problems.

[Steve Machol]

All vB files should be uploaded in ASCII except for the image files (gif, jpg, etc.)

[TruthElixirX]

I tried binary and ended with the same thing. I did have it set on automatic first time (Images binary, non images were ASCII). I'm going to try it all ASCII now...I have downloaded the new .zip and these last two times I haven't wrote over the files, I've deleted the odl ones and uploaded into a clean folder. Could it be Firefox ? Or my FTP program?

EDIT:: I tried ASCII mode as well again and still same thing.


Brief Summary:
Downloaded
Uploaded in automatic mode
didn't run
cleared cache and cookies
stil ldidn't work
overwrote with fiels again
same as above
deleted
redownlaoded new .zip
re-uploaded in ascii only (Only non-image files.)
no dice
Binary everything
no luck
ASCII everything
nothing


So..I'm all out of ideas.

[Shane]

What FTP program are you using?

[ManagerJosh]

Be sure you set your FTP program to auto-detect; it generally helps a lot

PHP files -> ASCII
Image Files -> Binary

[TruthElixirX]

I used auto-detect the first time. I've tried every setting on it.

I'm using Ace FTP 3 (Freeware.). It is the best I've been able to find and I have installed a vbulletin on it before and also used it for uploading any hacks in the past.

I'm seriously at a loss...I can't do anything. I even went nd tried another computer and it didn't work.

[Shane]

That is werid. I am using CuteFTP Pro

[TruthElixirX]

So I'm guessing now the idea is to change FTP clients? I'm going to try the built in windows explorer ftp before I downlaod anything else and see what happens.


EDIT:: My IE built in FTP seems to be not working..doesn't ask em to log in..just says page cannot be found...hmm...

EDIT 2:: I got on a different user profile on my computer and started up the ftp agent (Ace FTP 3) and just out of sheer curosity tried it from the other user profile...Finished..thought it wsa going to work but the same thing happened...so...What FTP agents do you recomend? >.<

[Shane]

try downloading a trailv erison of CuteFTP Pro. See what happenes.
