Problem trying to upgrade 3.0.6 to 3.0.7

Post by llaffer »

I've downloaded the automatic update installer, clicked on the Update tab of the "install/index.php" page, and I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /mypath/htdocs/forum/cache/ctpl_admin_install_update.html.php on line 347


After clearing the cache, the error changes to this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /mypath/htdocs/forum/includes/template.php(218) : eval()'d code on line 347



Any ideas? Need any of my files uploaded?

thanks.

powweb, boy , haven't seen that name in a while. there used to be a lot of problems here with people using that host.

anyway,
I think that is telling you that the problem is in the file:
install_update.html
what are you using to upload the files?

I'm using Frontpage. I download the zip version of the updater to this windows machine, unzip it in place in my web folder, then tell it to publish to push the files out.

there ya go.

frontpage corrupts the files.

use new files and use a real ftp program like filezilla to do this work.

you can use things like frontpage for regular websites, but phpbb is not a regular website.

frontpage, dreamweaver and any other type of website creator program add bits of code to the files when you even open them , much less if you edit and/or transfer the files with them.

I re-uploaded the entire "forum" folder and subfolders from my system to the web host using Filezilla.

Nothing changed.

Purge the cache. Use FTP to delete all the files in the cache folder except index.htm and .htaccess.

I have exactly the same problem. First got the same cache error above so I deleted everything in the cache except .htaccess and index.htm Then tried again to update and got the same includes error stated above.

I uploaded using WinSCP. Never had this problem before with automatic updates.

I know you don't like bumping, but hope that 3 days after I've updated is acceptable.

Any other ideas? so far, everything that I've tried has failed. I tried the latest updater that was released the other day, and it fails the same way (not surprised since only one file was changed.)

here is what to do.

download a new copy of the update.

do NOT even touch it with frontpage.

if you do not have a ftp program get on.

unzip the update to your computer.
use ftp to upload the install folder

do the install

if you get errors report back here.

if you do not have it already, download a zip of the full package, not an update package.

unzip it, find adm/style/install_update.html and upload it to the server.

try the update again.

since you are using that rockettheme stuff, you may have other problems with the style.

We seem to be getting somewhere now.

I got to the point where it updated the database, then went to check for the differences in the files to see what had to be updated, and I got this message now:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method diff3::get_num_conflicts() in /hermes/web05/b2397/pow.jwaldack/htdocs/forum/install/install_update.php on line 1519
Locked
