Install/Upgrade problems

[G.I.JOE*MFA*]

Apache version	2.2.22
PHP version	5.3.16
MySQL version	5.1.65

when I perform a fresh install, it hangs up at nodevisits




I get a blank page when i try to upgrade from vB 4.2.0 PL 2


my issue is when i point my browser to mysite/forum/install/upgrade.php I get a 500 error page. BLANK Page in Firefox

Here is my set-up:

original site layout for vB4:
/public_html/
----------->/forums/

index.php in /root/ redirects to vB4 CMS content.php in /forums/ directory
everything works fine


I uploaded everything in the vB5 /uploads/ folder to the /root/

Current site layout for vB5:
/public_html/
----------->/forum/

I filled out both /root/ config and /includes/ config to match current server settings
I renamed /core/ to /forum/
I renamed /modcp/ and /admincp/ (x2) directories
I renamed index.php to index_vb4.php and load vb5 index.php


my issue is when i point my browser to mysite/forum/install/upgrade.php I get a 500 error page. BLANK Page in Firefox

I'm trying to keep all the directories down as I don't see a point of /public_html/forum/core/ to get to forums.

current root directory contains:
core - renamed to forum
css
admincp - renamed
forumrunner
images
includes
js
forums - vB4

what have I missed?

Try

mysite/forum/core/install/upgrade.php ?

Doh! Ignore that, just read the post properly.

you're on the right track. mysite/forum/install/upgrade.php
i renamed core to forum

i want to try and keep everything in the top of the directory as much as possible.

I renamed /core/ to /forum/

Can't say for sure, but that'll probably get messed up in the routing, since /forum is a valid route.

[Yves R.]

/forum/ directory instead of /core/ could create issues as /forum/ is a valid route (as said) on any install. You should try another directory name.
