    Can't upgrade from 4.2.5 to 5.4.5, Fatal Error Step 142 of 166

    Hello,

    I have a similar error - as many others according to my Google marathon since a day - but no answer that I found or tried did help me.

    So here is my case.

    -I have a new server, so there are no old files.
    -I uploaded all files correctly (even the instruction vb5readme.html was still wrong, mentioned here already 6 month ago )
    -The vb_test.php script said 'passed' on all things it checked

    If you are wonderung why i say "new server" and "upgrade":
    I want to keep the current (external) database, so VB did not allow an installation after i entered the DB host. "Database already exists, Please use upgrade instead".

    Yes, i see the red warning "Upgrading to vBulletin 5 will remove any currently installed products as they are not compatible with 5.4.5."
    But does that also mean i have to start with a complete new empty DB? That is not what i want to do.

    Files, file owner and permissions are all properly set.

    But there is always this error:



    The "node id 39" increases everytime i try it. Next try it will be 40.

    I already deleted everything and tried with console installation. Same error there.

    How can i fix this error?

    Make sure that the Admin with the lowest USER ID is specified as a Super Admin in the /core/includes/config.php file.

    You can list Admin Users and obtain their user id with this query:
    Code:
    select * from user where usergroupid=6 order by userid asc
    If you use a table prefix (also defined in /core/includes/config.php) then you will need to change the user table name to include that.
