I thought the install folder was deleted anyway when doing an upgrade?

Ghia,

Ok re-ran the upgrade...

Same problem... Home page is blank...

I can access the site directly by going to www.eastcoastrcclub.com/xoops/modules/newbb

etc...
This is the checksum report...

Ghia, I'am not understanding the trustpath concept. Could you show me what and where in the mainfile.php I should include the code?
Also, since going back to 2.0.18 I removed Protector all together... Do I have to worry about the trustpath issue?
I'm learning... the hardway but I'm learning thanks for putting up with me...

do I need to move the xoops_data and xoops_lib directories in the required Protector Trust directory? or just somewhere else?

ouuuuffff....
Ok I found that I was missing a couple of files...
Went back to the old install folder and grabed three files that I was missing and copied them to my root folder...
It is working now... although I am missing a few pictures from my upload folder... due to the interval from last backup...

So I'm gonna try this one more time...
Backup my database first
Backup my XOOPS folder
copy the protector file as stated in the release notes or uninstall protector completely before performing the upgrade?
I'm still gonna need to change that template.php file for the path to xoop_data

Anything else?

Help...help...I do not want to screws this up again... I'm going on 2 hours of sleep in the past 26 hours...

thanks

Manny

Also if I try to re-run the upgrade, the upgrade login page comes up but I get an error message if I try to login.


extas/login.php gives me this.

Quote: "this is bad"

... indeed this is bad, what I nightmare... My site is my Pride and Joy ) and my members depend on it...
Just woke up after a 2 hour nap and starting from scratch....
Database is fairly recent may 2 months old. I'm just gonna loose the recent forum and news activity on the site. If am able to clean restore (wont keep my modules folder on the server)

Ok Restored my old files the site comes up but can't login and I get an error message HTTP 404 page not found when attemptinghttp://www.eastcoastrcclub.com/xoops/user.php


Is there anyway to manually rebuild the site? Or at least have admin access to it? Or Can I do a clean install "import" my files from my 2.0.18 site?

Can anyone really help? Yahoo Messenger,
phone, heck I'll even spend my Chistmas money...sniff...sniff...any guns for hire?

went back to my backed up version now my site is not working any more. Lost all my pictures, no user login, no admin login... Just gonna have to spend another 200hrs redoing everything... this really really blows...

Dude, I'm soooo new at this stuff... it's 2:30AM and my eye balls are about to come out of my eye sockets. Ok... I backed up the site, but not the database... I can access all the modules by going directly into mysite/modules/newbb or whatever and the site works that way. All the modules work. With my theme and all. I think it is a protector issue.. I believe this is what happened... I had kept my Old Protector module in the modules dir and I had two proctectors running somehow...
Didn't realize there was another one in the my root/xoops_lib/modules/protector.
So I deactivated and uninstalled proctector all together and deleted it from my original module folder.
Still doesn't work, the home page that is, and now I have no Core/Protector so to speak although the files are still where they should be root/xoops_lib/modules/protector
I need help guys pm me if you can or here but I need to bring my site back up... what a nightmare...should have left it alone....aghhh
Don't know where or how to run the file checker either.
Thanks for your help.

Just did a similar upgrade from 18 to 32b... All my modules work if i type the address directly tohttp://www.eastcoastrcclub.com/xoops/newbb
but if I just typehttp://www.eastcoastrcclub.com
the main page doesnt display. Note I have a Java script that redirects tohttp://www.eastcoastrcclub.com/xoops. Everything worked fine before the upgrade.
All the Module work if you access them directly. Just the home page... Any ideas..
Thanks
