Hello there and congratulations for your great work! I am new to your modded forum and I liked it very much, so I desided to upgrade my forum to your version.

After i finished installation and I changed the permissions to the requiried folders (such as avatars albums etc) I clicked finish installation and I am getting this error:

Warning: main(./includes/template.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /hermes/web08/b701/pow.vsag/forum2/htdocs/common.php on line 205

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening './includes/template.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php-4.4.4/lib/php') in /hermes/web08/b701/pow.vsag/forum2/htdocs/common.php on line 205

(etc etc same errors)

I tried changing the permissions of the files to 650, 777, 750, 444 but still doesnt work. My forum URL is http://forum2.v-sag.net/

If anyone could help I will truly appreciate it.

Also i have a database of phpBB 2.2.17 which is the previous version and I want to import all data to phpBB XS. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance!

forgot to add that the original forum is under http://forum.v-sag.net/

thanks

i fixsed by changing the /includes folder permission to 777, but does this make the folder vulnerable to hack attacks? please let me know.. thanks

Try permissions 755 to includes... I'm not really sure, but I think it's not a good idea to change permissions to 777 to includes folder and let everybody know it!!

now i get a new error after upgrading my forum


DEBUG MODE

heeelpp

i am doing everything step by step from the beginning... let's pray :)

Did you run the update_to_xs2.php that you can find in the /install folder?

Remember that you must run it from the root of your forum!!

Can someone please help me?

Thanks!!

it is right

you are missing some tables [like birthday] in your database

nevermind, i found the solution.

for anyone experiencing similar problem AFTER upgrade, please go to your php_config table and erase everything that has to do with "BUDDY" :)

cheers!

BTW from now on i'm using phpBB XS to http://forum.v-sag.net/

I hope to see more updates in the future!
