When trying to upgrade I get the following message:

You will need to update to v2.1.1 first in order to update to v2.2.1
This is due to configuration changes that have been implemented

Since I'm running version 2.2.3 why am I getting this error message? What am I missing? When I last upgraded to version 2.2.3 everything was flawless.

My config.php has this:

define('UPB_VERSION', '2.2.3', true);

as my current version.

Thanks,

Sammy

Update Available:
An update has not been run yet. Please follow the directions in the readme file to run it to continue.

Following upgrade and deletion of the insecure files the message above appears when accessing the forum.

Hi,

I changed the update system so it would automatically detect which version you're using an apply the appropriate updates but somethings gone wrong somewhere.

For both of you could you upload update2_2_4.php, update2_2_5.php and complete_update.php and run update2_2_4.php

Ignore any warnings about fields already existing that you might get.

Let me know if there are any further problems

Same result I'm afraid

caN I HAVE A link to your forum ?

I abandoned the upgrade and loaded it as a new installation and transferred css etc over and restored from a backed up version of the database and it's working OK but with an issue on the upload file facility.

The 2-2-5 version can be found at http://www.easternanglers.net/forum , this works OK apart from the file upload

The 2-2-4 version can be found at http://www.easternanglers.net/forum223 , this is the old forum that I've archived across

Just noticed theer's no file upload here so have put it at URL http://www.easternanglers.net/issue.jpg

Aha, when you installed the backup it created a new upload directory and it's trying to look for the old one from the first time you installed it.

Open up includes/upb.initialize.php in a text editor (wordpad is best)

Scroll right down to the bottom and before the ?> add:

PHP Code:


Replace DIR with the name of the upload dir that was created with the new install.

Run any page index.php once and then remove this line.

If you had any files in the old uploads directory you should move them to the new one.

Done that three times and it had no effect apart from throwing the whole forum to the left of the screen and upsetting the layout a bit !

Put the code between the } and ?>

Came at it from another angle !

Downloaded uploads file and renamed it with the one in the error messge and uploaded it again. Works a treat now !
