    The error says that whatever node it was looking for didn't exist for some reason. This could be a channel/forum or a post.

    What upgrade version where you on?

    What step where you on?

    What version of PHP and MYSQL are you using?

        There are dozens of upgrade scripts.

        I get this error in first step
        The first step of an upgrade is connecting to the database. The tables being referenced don't exist at that time. The node tables aren't updated until step 140 or so.

        I use PHP Version 5.3 MySQL version 5.5
        Minimum support version for 5.1.6 is PHP 5.4.0. The minimum version that you can squeak by with is PHP 5.3.7. PHP 5.3 is too low and should be upgraded.

        After upgrading PHP, please restore your vBulletin 4.2.2. Database backup and start the upgrade again. Click on the details button. If the upgrade fails again, please note what step it is on.

            It would be different for every site. I would say it shouldn't take two hours to process... Steps 145 and 146 may take much longer than that though. How many forums do you have?

            Should press refresh on your browser (usually F5) and reload the system. Your MySQL may have timed out if it has its wait_timeout value too low.

                I'm still trying to sort out the upgrade however, I stalled out at that step, too. What worked for me to get past that was to open up the /core/includes/config.php file and make sure my superadmin permissions were right as "user 1" isn't being used.

                Also, I had to check my owner/group settings on my newly formed directories to make sure they weren't set to "nobody".

                I hope that helps.

                  You'll need to open a support ticket... http://www.vbulletin.com/go/techsupport

                  There isn't enough information provided here to provide a solution to your issue. Yes, one of the issues is that the upgrader requires the lowest userid that is an Administrator to be a super administrator and they have to have permissions to access all channels at all times.
