Are you sure that the upgrade didn't succeed?

I can see just few errors related to some mods which you didn't have... so I guess your upgrade is fine.

Try to go on and see if it works.

looks like some of the files are corruped.

the install apears a blanc page.

reupload everything in binary mod of ftp client. the DB looks fine.

Is your server supporting .htaccess correctly?

Did you try a clean installation just to make sure it is working fine on your server?

it looks like the server is´nt suporting file rewrite and auto chmod.

had to set all chmod manualy. and got a message that the server can´t create files

Try to remove htaccess just to make a test.

thats what i´ve been thinking about.

maybe run everything via ini file.


nothing:

same thing
install apears blanc page.

the funny thing is that you can see the database update without problems, but install itself zip

Post subject: Re: Upgrading From Phbb2 To Ice Phoenix Not Working Tryed 5 Times To Upgrading :(
Try to change config.php and make it point to the updated DB to see if it works.

It shouldn't... but that would be another check... and that would also probably mean that the DB isn't upgraded correctly.


spydie [ Mon 30 Nov, 2009 13:46 ]
Post subject: Re: Upgrading From Phbb2 To Ice Phoenix Not Working Tryed 5 Times To Upgrading :(
i already tried that. pointing to the upgraded one.

thing is , that the upgrade is´nt finished. posts are only in _old_phpbb_posts and _old_phpbb_posts_text

the script didn´t move them to phpbb_posts.

And there are many other tables showing 0 content


ancraz [ Mon 30 Nov, 2009 13:56 ]

I have been around the server with ancraz's permisson, and it looks like it was a CHMOD issue. Php was only allowed to read on the server, but we need to make it capable of read & write...

That is not fully true, as long as a fresh install suceed, but a upgrade don't.

In order to workaround and troubleshoot this thing, this is the way I have tried to update and upgrade his board:

SMF 1.1 -> PhpBB 2.0.22 -> PhpBB 2.0.23 -> Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53

That last stage do fail, as long as the update suceeds, but quering the server for icy's root index.php redirects to the install procedure (install/install.php). I have been trying to execute the clean_tables_ip.php file, but it returns nothing. All of this happens while the files are chmod 777, so I assume it is not a permissions problem.

It does not mind if I try to update to Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53 or directly to build 053a RC3.

I think there is something on the files the server os not able to do. On the update page it appears the "Your server does not support file creation and editing", but the cache files of Icy are on their folder and filled with contents...

It is a very rare issue, and I guess you will need to contact your hosting service to fix your server in order to be able to run Icy Phoenix with any issues. I am sorry I cannot help you anymore.

Perhaps you will be aimed to make a SSH login into your server if it is a VPS or a dedicated one ir order to access your server's configuration files.

if you can try that , it will probably work

depending on the permissions on that server of course.

Before trying to switch to another server you should try doing the conversion on a local testing environment (using XAMPP for example).

Only after you have that working correctly on your local server I would take any other decision.

Well, I think that my post has been mis-understood. I were not talking about a server swich, but to get root at the SSH terminal of his VPS/dedicated server and make the required changes, but I think it is too much for ancraz to handle...

what i thought was since i am not able to complete the upgrade in my server i thought i will do the upgrade in a different server and after completing the upgrade and the script is working properly . i will move it to my server thus avoiding this server error

If a clean install works fine, then it's not an hosting related issue... you should pay someone to upgrade that DB for you instead.
