Yes, OK, I will try that again. Last time the upgrade script for Newbb 2 didn't works though. But I will try again and then give some feedback here.

Jdseymour: Yes that is correct. I have, unfortunately, been using a Newbb "clone" called Newbb Pro 1.03 and have had problems updating this version to "real" newbb-versions. I still hope I can update newbb Pro to CBB. If not I am stuck to this pretty primitive forum, without the functionality I need. And I really need to migrate my users 2800+ posts - I can not just start a new forum from scratch.

Yes, I tried to set the permission for Acess and View, but it does not work.

Thanks a lot for your help but it all came down to my lousy FTP-program - some files where obviously changed during the upload. I can use the admin section and it seems to be all right now.

Except for a forum update problem... For those of you that haven't got tired of helping me out:https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=45552&forum=28

Finally I have managed to upgrade my XOOPS from 2.0.7.3 to 2.2.3. Happy happy joy joy.

Now I tried to upgrade my Newbb Pro forum to CBB. I deleted the old newbb-folder, uploaded the newbb-filder of CBB, then updated the newbb-module. But All I can see are a few of the orginal forums and no posts at all (even though it says "Total posts: 2887").

This is what I get when updating the module. Note the text at the beginning an the end.

Thanks, but no, it won't help. The site seems to function, but the admin section is blank. I never got this faar before when trying to upgrade to 2.2 and it would be a pity to give up now

Any other suggestions?

I did run the xoopsupdate script. What happened was that blocks won't show in the main page. I guess I could fix that but I can not view the admin section - it has gone completely blank.

Thanks for trying to help me out on this. I will be most greatful for further suggestions how to fix the problem.

(I have a compelete backup of the site and DB, but it costs time and frustration to delete and recreate the whole site every time an update goes wrong. I hope this time the update can be fixed in som way. Meanwhile I am receiving upset e-mails from my users...)

Thanks a lot Herko. I was fooled by the Install-folder... Now I have managed to upgrade the system to 2.0.13.2. But when trying to upgrade to 2.2.3a some most parts of the website are visible, while some are not. And I vcan not reach the admin page - it is blank! I tried to search the forum and this seems to be a common problem. I could'nt find any solution to this problem though - please help, oh you wise man of the core team.

(I am getting used to these situations like this but I am getting used to the situation. But my users won't get used to this - and they are getting pretty annoyed when the site goes down every now and then beacuse of upgrade problems.)

Thanks, I tried to copy the back up of the mainfile.php but that did not work for me The website functions as normal, but the upgrade install won't work.

When trying to load the install/index.php I get:

Warning: main(./passwd.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/dreng/public_html/gimle/install/index.php on line 30

Warning: main(): Failed opening './passwd.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/dreng/public_html/gimle/install/index.php on line 30

What could be wrong?
