| by BDW on 2006/9/13 16:01:40 Those are the wrong instructions. I think those are for upgrading from previous versions from 2.0.14 This is the correct one: Quote: Upgrading from XOOPS 2.0.14 Remember you can download the "2.0.14-to-2.0.15 upgrade patch" found HERE |

| by zyspec on 2006/9/13 14:23:35 The quote came from the 2.0.15 Release Notes. This link is also available on the XOOPS home page announcement for 2.0.15 availability. You are correct, the quote was referencing the "new" 2.0.15 folder that had been extracted locally that's why it says "delete mainfile.php". If you had deleted it from the upgrade package before it was FTP'd to the server then your existing mainfile.php file would not have been overwritten. Glad your hosting company is able to restore your site. I'd suggest you read the entire XOOPS release notes page before trying again. |

| by tonycharman on 2006/9/13 13:37:29 Hi zyspec. Did I make a copy of the mainfile - No. The instructions did not tell me to do so. I'm not sure where your quote came from. I copied the entire upgrade instructions in my first post. In any case your quote says to delete (not copy) mainfile.php before copying over the the htdocs/ folder. It is leaving a bit to mis-interpretation if the instructions don't absolutely state what you should do. I am presuming here, after having read your quote again and again, that it means delete the local (not remote) copy... But in any case, as I said the instructions that came from my fresh download (13th Sept at 10.49am GMT) don't say that. If it is the instructions within the upgrade folder of the xoops-2.0.15.zip file that need changing I suggest that this is ammended quickly before anyone else falls foul... I host with 1&1 and they have kindly offered to "turn the clock back" 24hours by accessing a backup their system automatically makes. Pheww - fingers crossed! |

| by zyspec on 2006/9/13 12:31:53 Did you make a copy of your mainfile BEFORE you copied the /htdocs to your site? Quote: Copy the content of the htdocs/ folder over your existing installation after having deleted "mainfile.php" and the "install" folder Sounds to me like you may have overwritten your mainfile.php file. |
