Hi guys,

Here's my story:

I was running version 2.0.9.2, so after a bit of research, I did the updates 1 by 1 (found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=41586&package_id=72954) up to 2.0.13.

So far that all worked fine, the site still worked, and not a problem!

I then thought to upgrade to 2.0.14, without realising that there was 2.0.13.2 in between.

I followed the instructions in the 2.0.14 release notes for upgrades, I did the following:

1. Copy the content of the htdocs/ folder except mainfile.php over your existing installation.

2. Delete the following folders and files:

* class/smarty/core

* class/smarty/plugins/resource.db.php

3. Empty the templates_c folder (except index.html)

4. Upload the upgrade folder to your site

5. Ensure the server can write to mainfile.php

I then wasn't sure how to log in with an administrator account...

From there, I went to mysite.com/upgrade and all I get there is a blank page.

If I go to the root directory, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getinstance() in /home/davidbl/public_html/jam/include/common.php on line 40

Anyone got any ideas?

copy xoops.md5 and xoops_md5.php to root, and go to http://www.mysite.com/xoops_md5.php and see if is any file that are upload correctly.

And which version of PHP does your server use?

I get heaps of errors: http://pastebin.ca/86889

The server is running php 4.3.11

That pastebin site is nice *bookmarking*


Try uploading the files again. Or download some of them and compare them to the files in your XOOPS package for 2.0.14 to see if they got overwritten at all.

Ok, I've progressed a little bit...

I uploaded 2.0.13.2 over the top, then tried the installation of 2.0.14 again (uploading all the files, etc).

If I go to the root now, it loads the page for a new installation.

If I go to the /upgrade/ folder, I get the following error:

Not Found
The requested URL /upgrade/install/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm not sure with it's trying to install...

The md5 checker still has HEAPS of errors...

any other ideas?

Sounds like you've copied over your mainfile.php
