Hya fellas I managed to downgrade my other integra site and then upgraded it to IP.
Had a fiew initial problems with these below for some reason they didn't get inserted?
So have inserted them from my DB backup
These are the ones that didn't get inserted, as you can see the file names had gotten changed somewhere in the process so couldn't insert




Below is an error I'm getting, I'm also now using the latest ip_20110224_13053b, would it be best to start the upgrade from the beginning or try to sort these errors?

Did you per chance:

Log in as Admin

Lock your forum

Install you modified Db with phpMyAdmin

Go to /install/database_update.php

Rename /install/ to /_install/

Go to /_install/install.php

And follow the prompts?

I did Mort but didn't go _install/install.php were does it say to do that mate?

I followed this, with one exception when I did that it just kept redirecting to install even though I had renamed install to installdone, then I had to reopen the install so I could run those links it gives, that's probably whats messed it up?
Ill try another day, got all the backups and now reinstated the integra until I get another chance to have a play.

Hya mort, I followed what MG posted on the upgrade thread I posted.
Agreed though best to read everything  

this is old data. the new data ( posts and posts_text get merged to posts, privmsgs and privmsgs_text merged in privmsgs) should be in phpbb_posts, phpbb_categories and phpbb_privmsgs .

you should try to do quicksettings after update.

If your used to doing these kinds of tasks or being a coder may help then most things are probably self explanatory.
Most people using IP just want to run a website and are not coders or used to doing all the tech stuff.
I'm fortunate that I have a reasonable basic understanding of how some of it works, but am struggling with a lot of it, maybe its the way its worded/explained? I think this will put the majority of site owners off from using IP

Don't get me wrong, once IP is up and running and set out the way you like it (installed from a fresh install and a new site with nothing to import to it), it is an awesome platform to use, I love it, but many wont get that far especially if they already have a site they want to convert over to IP.

I think the problem is this below needs to be more detailed in exactly what you need to do as this is what I followed.

number 10 means all files in root folder(main folder) but not the folders nor config.php

and folder pafield_db disapeared in .53 , it´s in downloads now i think

Hya spydie, any ideas were the install and upgrade documents are located, I have checked in documentation but not in there.
The link should be included in the install files for reference?

I owe you an apology.  

I had read those docs and from memory I believed that the same rules applied for all because simply altering the "old" database with the upgrade file doesn't appear to finish it off properly when a few other things also need to be done.

But the upgrade from phpBB2 doesn't say that when those extra options should be applied to finish the whole thing off.

They are released with the download of Icy Phoenix. - They're in the IP .zip folder you downloaded from here in the sub-folder /docs/*.*

Only if you wish- Zip up a copy of your ORIGINAL Inegra mod database and make it available for me to have a look at. I don't need passwords or admin name etc, just the Dump.

From my point of view, this should have taken less than a couple of hours at the most - not a week....  

if everything runs fine, it should take 30 minutes max ( depending on DB size).

the template edits, come afterwards.

yeh it didn't take long at all to do, its just when I followed all the steps on the guide that MG posted, it says that's all you have to do but all was getting was this page.
The only way I could make the site work was rename install so it would open again as I had renamed it installdone, then run a couple of the links it provides in the pick below, think I did posts and something ells possibly related to functions?, o yes also rename the image paths etc or whatever it says its going to do.
I assumed these were what needed to be changed manually as mentioned last step in the upgrade guide?

  

run the constants thing in install, afterwards go to the ACP and do the quicksettings

I will give that a go, thanks  

Mort ill see how I go with a second go and if it still plays up ill send you the DB mate, cheers  

EDIT:

Just reading the upgrade procedures again, I would say the only part that needs more details on exactly what you need to do is



That section should explain exactly what should/may require editing and just as important (what not to do) when on the install page I posted, Im just guessing but I think me running some of those procedures were what set some of my files to old so intern were not inserted in to the database.

The last thing you should have to do with step by step procedures is to have to assume how to do something.

EDIT AGAIN:

It appears that when I'm doing a full export of my integra DB its not exporting everything as some categories are missing when I insert what I have in the basic phpbb2, either that or phpbb2 isn't inserting the data?  

The integra categories from original site

 

PHPBB2 after inserting categories, topics, forums users post text etc. etc. but some categories are missing

 
 
 

Think ill start right from the beginning with a new install of the pfpbb2 rather than from the backup files of it and then drop and reinsert the same files from integra, see if there is any difference




EDIT 3:

Just got the IP running and will see how it goes
