You might miss some files.

So please download again fresh XOOPS 2.5.6, and:

- copy all files (except the mainfile.php file, and the /install folder) to your XOOPS site

- copy again the /upgrade folder to your site

- run the upgrade

- in the end it should ask you to update the System module, so please do it as well

If you have any errors there, please report it back here.

Re: xforum 4.13

I discovered what I was doing wrong. I was running the upgrade in the Administration Menu. When I did on the homepage, everything worked!

Thanks again for the help Mamba!

Yes, we need to read the manuals!
That was explained on page 32-33 of the Installation Guide

I am glad that everything is working now!

As a reminder, we have publications that can be very helpful:

Re: xforum 4.13

I read the manual, but my inexperience, or rather my ignorance on the subject made ​​me commit this primary error. But now it worked! Now I've done the test, I will make the official site.

Thanks again Mamba!

Re: xforum 4.13

I upgraded on the web, but a problem arose. Some texts on the site were deconfigured, not appearing or letters being replaced by question marks (?), You know tell me what is the problem? For now I undid the update.
Follows a print screen of how it was.

You have problems with text encoding - the Website is probably in UTF-8, while the text in the database is still in ISO coding.

You can talk to your host to convert the database and its content to UTF-8, which would be probably the best.

If they won't do it for you, you can try this tool from XOOPS France

Re: xforum 4.13

Hello Mamba, ok?

I talked with the host support and they answered me:
"Once the database tables are in latin1 you can't change the collation of the database."
I don't know if they don't know to do or don't want. Summing up, I'll have to do this change.

Using convert_mysql tool, have I to convert the general database of the site?
Or could I just convert the web root (public_html / www)? for if a problem occurs I can revert easily

Thanks

Tell your host people to check info like this one. There are more similar...
