"Upgrading from a previous version
-----------------------------------

Upgrading from XOOPS 2.3.x and 2.4.x(easy way)
1. Get the right update package from the sourceforge file repository
2. Overwrite files in XOOPS directory on your server with the content of /htdocs
* make sure that you copy the content of /xoops_lib to whatever directory you keep it on the server now (it should be your current XOOPS_TRUST_PATH directory), then delete the /xoops_lib directory. There can NOT be two directories with the content of /xoops_lib
3. If you have Protector previously installed, open the "mainfile.php" file , and remove the Pre-check and Post-check lines (if they exist):

include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/precheck.inc.php' ;
include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/postcheck.inc.php' ;

4. If you're upgrading from XOOPS 2.4.x, make the file /include/license.php writeable (permission 0777 on Linux)
5. Access <your.site.url>/upgrade/ with a browser, and follow the instructions
6. Follow the instructions to update your database
7. Delete the "upgrade" folder from your server
8. Update the "system" module from the modules administration interface. Other modules, especially "Profile" and "Protector" are recommended to update as well"

Make sure you do #3 correctly or your upgrade may fail to process.
I got a successfully loaded blank page when I tried to run the upgrade and lost all access to my website because of an extra "/" in the mainfile.php script.
(my error I'm sure but it happened and took me two agonizing
days to find)

"3. If you have Protector previously installed, open the "mainfile.php" file , and remove the Pre-check and Post-check lines (if they exist):

include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/precheck.inc.php' ;
include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/postcheck.inc.php' "


if ( !empty($ENABLE_PROTECTOR) ) {
//comment out or delete-
// @include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH . '/modules/protector/include/precheck.inc.php';
}
if (!isset($xoopsOption["nocommon"]) && XOOPS_ROOT_PATH != "") {
include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/include/common.php";
}
if ( !empty($ENABLE_PROTECTOR) ) {
//comment out or delete-
// @include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH . '/modules/protector/include/postcheck.inc.php';
}

Crazy stuff can happen but I have found that it is almost always my error.
Go Xoops!

Hii,
I have a fresh install of XOOPS 2.3.3b

I installed CBB and it works as it should.
I am evaluating forums and also have xforum installed and newbbex .
The forums do not appear to interfere with each other.

I then successfully installed yogurt and got this message when I clicked on the menu Item:
"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getconfigforblock() (previously declared in /home/solar23/public_html/ecedirectors/modules/xforum/include/functions.ini.php:88) in /home/solar23/public_html/ecedirectors/modules/newbb/include/functions.ini.php on line 86"

I uninstalled CBB and yogurt worked.
I reinstalled CBB and got the 'fatal error' message again.

I uninstalled XFORUM and yogurt worked.
I reinstalled XFORUM and got the 'fatal error' message again.

I then discovered that I also get the 'fatal error' message when I am logged on and try to go to user.php with all the forums active.
It happens when Yogurt is deactivated so I guess the conflict is between cbb and xforum..
I can go to user.php if I am not logged on.

How can I resolve this problem?

Hi
I am using version 1.2 and would like to post individual polls on different pages in a block by themselves.
There is a "display in block" check box but it doesn't appear to have any affect on the poll or offer any options.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

This is a fresh install and 222 appears to work fine.
Thanks

I am trying to install extcal. I tried Version: 2.1.16 and Version: 2.01. They install fine but nothing shows when I click on the menu item.
php version 4.4.9
Apache
Xoops 2.3.3 (I love it).

Thank you from me too!

I just accidentally put a language folder in the modules directory and got the "module file Language not found...." message.
catalin12345, your post helped me figure out what I had done because I had no tables in the database and nothing appeared as a blank module "name" in the xoops_modules table.
Thanks
