vb4.2.0 PL3 to VB5 beta 26 register and lostpw issue

[marcchell0]

I upgraded my idle forum from vbulletin 4.2.0 PL3 to VBulletin 5.0.0 Beta 26 without any errors during upgrade.
I get the folowing errors

lost password :
HTTP 500 error

register :
That action could not be completed. Please try again, and if this occurs again please contact the system administrator and tell them how you got this message.

Posting a reply :
Error loading delete form. (Error code 500)

Please try again.

If i create a new database and use the install system without altering files ( exept for the DB ofcourse ) everything works fine on the site..
lostpw works and register works and replying on a thread just works

Could there be something wrong with the database ?
Even if the update script didn't generate errors?

Anyone have any ideas?

What is in your error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host)?

Have you tried rerunning the upgrade.php script?

[marcchell0]

did run the upgrade script again still no errors.
No error logs either

[Mark.B]

Error 500 is a server error.
For that to generate, there should be something in the server error logs.
If there really isn't - I would start by asking your host how you are getting 500 Internal Server Errors, but nothing is showing in the logs.
Without the log we will struggle to pin this down as we don't know what the server is actually doing.

yea i got full rdp access but im not an iis7 whiz , i texted him so ill wait till he awnsers
I dont want to wreck any other sites on there
I did see php logging is on dunno if the error logging is on @ the IIS part

I switched it to a new database , installed new the site works i can signup i can do lost password

I have a problem like this. If I upgrade, i can´t login and the lostpw page is empty.

Have you removed all vB4 files from your server?

Have you removed all vB4 files from your server?

In my case, I have vB4 and vB5 installed on the same server, but different folders. vB4 with PHP 5.3 and vB5 with PHP 5.4.

I always test with a anonymos window in Chrome, to prevent cookie related problems.

He means more to make sure there are no VB4 files in the folder VB5 is installed in. If you upgraded a VB4 installation you need to delete or move all the VB4 files before uploading the VB5 files- this is different than previous upgrades.

My situation is this:

We set up a vB4 running ok in the server, in a folder /forum, all right ?

I need to test the vB5, before final migration occurs... So, I did this:

1) installed vB5 in a folder "/vb" , with a empty database. Everything worked allright.

2) Dropped my vB5 database, and restored the vB4 structure and data on it, set as my test database.

3) Runned the vB5 upgrade script in my test database. The upgrade process went OK.

4) I can see my initial page with all my foruns, and I can navigate to topics, but Login doesn´t work.

Have you tried manually updating your password in the database?

UPDATE user AS user
set password = MD5(concat(MD5('pass1234'), user.salt))
WHERE userid = 1

The above will reset the password of user with userid = 1 to pass1234.
