I successfully ran the upgrade ... it's just accessing the forum under the proper folder that is the challenge.
I used a technique I've used more than once successfully. I did read the online manual for this upgrade, and nothing was said about this technique.
If it matters - the forum was turned off during the upgrade so there was no more user activity.
Instead of uploading the files by writing over the existing files, I created a new forums folder called /forums-new/ . After editing the config file I uploaded everything normally. The config file is pointing at the regular database. Doing this means no files that are no longer being used are left in the file folders after the upgrade. And, there are no potential issues with over-writes.
Ran the upgrade - no problems, all done.
Took a look at the /forums-new/ forum and all was well. The old /forums/ was also working, although the database was of course upgraded.
Did the last step as I have done before - changed the old file folder to /forums-old/ and the new file folder from /forums-new/ to /forums/ .
But ... now I can't access the forums in either folder From the current /forums/ folder (with the new code files) I get this error message:
Warning: require_once(/vb.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]-new/includes/class_bootstrap_framework.php on line 99
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/vb.php' (include_path='.:') in /var/www/vhosts/modelhorseblab.com/httpdocs/forums-new/includes/class_bootstrap_framework.php on line 99
I'm noting that " [path]-new/include/... " has the -new ... thinking that is at the core of the problem.
I tried a path edit in the config file and it didn't change anything. Looked at class_bootstrap_framework.php and didn't see anything re the path to edit.
Any help suggestions? Thank you for your input!
