    Upgrade 4.1.7 Patch Level 2 to 4.2.0 Patch Level 3.

    Is there any current instructions to Upgrade 4.1.7 Patch Level 2 to 4.2.0 Patch Level 3.

    I've followed lots of links and read for hours only to find things dated 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 years ago. If the search worked here it would help?

      I read that but there's so many versions inbetween 4.1.7 and 4.2. Those instructions start back in 3.xx
      So I downloaded 4.2, uploaded to sever and over wrote files, they are all there.
      But when I run the update http://www.url.com/forum/install/upgrade.php
      All I get is the 4.1.7?
      There's something wrong or missing in upgrade.php file?

        Double checked and all files for 4.2 are uploaded to server. Run [URL="http://www.url.com/forum/install/upgrade.php"]http://www.url.com/forum/install/upgrade.php[/URL="http://www.url.com/forum/install/upgrade.php"] and all I get is this? Which I ran and it's still there?

        "Press the button below to run the Skimlinks Upgrade step"

          Make sure you have uploaded the files to the same folder as your forums.

            Yes all files from vb_patch420forum_VBF6BDCB58 are on my server in correct folder.

            Run the http://www. correct-url.com/correct-forum-folder/install/upgrade.php
            And all it does it upgrade skimlinks as I showed above and I still have vb 4.1.7

            The directions in manual you gave above show many things that are not in the patch 420 zip file like do_not-upload folder etc...

              I knew I should not have done this without accurate instructions. Now I have a crashed forum! Admin panel shows the 4.2 upgrade and forum still shows 4.1.7

                    That error says that your database is still on 4.1.7 regardless of what version of the files you have on the server. Please fill out a support ticket at:

                      If you are on 4.1.7, you need to download the FULL 4.2.0 PL3 package - not just the patch file.
