Hi,

I'm trying to build a new site, and everything is new right now so I don't have to worry about losing users or data.

First I tried to manually install 2.2, but I could not get a database to work for the install. I tried creating one, and tried letting XOOPS build one during install. I couldn't get it.

So, I just installed XOOPS 2.0.10 via fantastico (I know its out of date, but anyway). I then proceeded to manually update to 2.0.10 to 2.0.12a then 2.0.12a to 2.0.13. Everything up to this point is fine.

I then tried to manually update from 2.0.13 to 2.2. This went pretty good until I ran the mysite.com/update script. I keep getting errors when updating. It appears to be a database problem?? But I am totally retarded when trying to figure out the databases.

here's the errors.



And



I have tried logging into phpmyadmin and creating a table named xoops_user_profile but I have to enter fields in order to save it. If I create the fields listed in the error messages (which I don't know what values and attributes, etc to give each field) I get the following error message. PLuse the same error message I posted at the top of this post.




Could someone please help explain what I have to do, in somewhat simple terms...possibly a step-by-step to walk me through??

Thanks,
Rob

well it looks like you forgot to follow the directions correctly i can help you get your site working make a full backup of your database tempoarialy shut your site down and give me access to your database. i know the problems i had the same 1s you have to manually convert your users over to XOOPS 2.2 and have to change the system module nuber to 2.2 all has to be done from php my admin.

Thanks for the offer to help, but I have already scrapped the site and tried the fresh 2.2 install again. It was a brand new site, so there were no users, visitors or data to be saved on the datbase yet, so I could just delete and try again.

Somehow I managed to get the database and the 2.2 install to connect correctly. Don't ask how...I don't quite know for sure...I created the database in phpmyadmin...ran the install...tweak the user login, database name, password ect. until the install finally went through correctly.

Now I am trying to get some modules to work on the 2.2. LOL here I go again. It would really help if I knew something about php.

Thanks,
Rob
