Hello friends,

I have a problem with the upgrade to 2.0 version of IP. (My version is 53b)

I do all the steps to the instructions, but the problem comes when I launch the "convert_utf8_nodbal.php" file. The error is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting '}' in /web/htdocs/www.forosdedebate.com/home/convert_utf8_nodbal.php on line 41

I downloaded adn uploaded the same "convert_utf8_nodbal.php" of diferent "mirrors" of the annunnce of MG

http://www.icyphoenix.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8585

but the same error keeps coming

Thanks in advance

Line 41 should look like this?

Code: [Hide] [Select]

$sql = "ALTER DATABASE {$db->real_escape_string($dbname)}

The file should be fine: convert_utf8_nodbal.php

Remeber to copy it into directly into root NOT install/convert_utf8_nodbal.php

Thanks for reply.

Correct. Yes, I tried to run it on root and /install. But none worked.

@ mad2

You appear to have your forum in the public_html, rather than in a folder by itself.

And this is a guess - - But it does appear to be a path problem?

Open convert_utf8_nodbal.php

Find this line:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

if (!defined('IP_ROOT_PATH')) define('IP_ROOT_PATH', './');

Change it to:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

if (!defined('IP_ROOT_PATH')) define('IP_ROOT_PATH', '');

Put the convert_utf8_nodbal.php in the same place as config.php and try once more.
