Error in: Step 28) Import vbulletin-language.xml

[pulsorock]

I got the following error when upgrading from 2.3.3

Step 28) Import vbulletin-language.xml

Could not find phrase 'please_ensure_x_file_is_located_at_y'.

I tried to restart upgrade again and continue to have same errors...

I think the problem I'm having is due to my file system or something that is misleading vB t think the file doesn’t exist, even when in fact is there... as I asked on this post when I was upgrading from vB2.2.1 to vB2.3.3 tonight and I had some problems. (see the post and how I found out to fix it here http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89168).
Something that affects my configuration that is: Apache/2.0.43 (Unix) PHP/4.2.3 running on RedHat Linux 8.0.

I also had similar problem at the beginning of the upgrade to vB3... I got this error:

Please make sure you have created the new directory structure required by vBulletin 3:

You need to move config.php to the sub directory off of your forums directory named "includes"

So I noticed that was something similar like the error I had when upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 and I looked at the upgradecore.php and commented out this part (line 464):

 /*
     if (!file_exists('../includes/config.php'))
     {
         echo '<p>Please make sure you have created the new directory structure required by vBulletin 3:</p>
             <p>You need to move <b>config.php</b> to the sub directory off of your forums directory named &quot;<b>includes</b>&quot;</p>';
         exit;
     }
 */ 

Then uploaded the file and tried again and it worked fine... Until step 27 (and this one step 28) that I started getting errors, that I think is due to the same problem... Is no finding the required files and is giving errors... In this case the .xml files. This is what I think is causing the problem...

So I desperately ask for help, since right now I have my board closed and is a heavy visited one... With over 2,000 posts daily and I know that my users will drive me nuts in a few hours when the noticed that the board is still closed.

Thanks!

When did you download the Gamma zip. If it was on the first day then redownload it and reupload the files. If not, I would suggest reupload the gamma files anyway. Make sure you upload non-image files as ASCII and overwrite the ones on the server.

I downloaded yesterday... and yes... I have uploaded them in ASCII.... I have deleted the folder and uploaded it again 3 times now.
