[RESOLVED] Patching problem

[mullz]

Ok so I dont think my host has a patch program I can use but I downloaded one so I can patch the files on my local drive then upload them..

Problem is I don't know what command to use..

I use windows xp and I cant get my folder "expression7.com" through dos prompt, presumibly cause its got.com in it.. this is what I got

D:\WEBSITES\patch -cl -d [expression7.com\forum] -pl <[phpBB-2.0.5_to_2.0.6.patch]

Is this correct>? I know nothing on command lines..#

Nope, that's not correct...when using the patch, you are modifying the phpBB files on your own computer, not ones on the web. So, download the phpBB files from your host using FTP, and then dump them in a directory along with patch.exe from UnxUtils...then run this:

Code: Select all

patch -cl -p1 < phpBB-2.0.5_to_2.0.6.patch > result.txt

and have a looksee in result.txt to see how it went

ok so I tried this.. patch.exe in the root of phpbb2 "forum" and patch file is there also..

done what you siad but I get--

patch: **** malformed pacth at line 13: ----

any ideas? nothing was in the results.txt

You need to change the style of line ending...you need a decent text/code editor (such as editPlus), in which you can change the line endings of the .patch file from UNIX style to PC.

and whats the diff?

What do I need to change?

[Black Fluffy Lion]

Go to Document-->File Format (CR/LF), change it to PC and then save the file and run the patch command again

[mullz]

many thanks for your response.. I am now running 2.0.6 fine with no errors.. Magic

Hey I have a problem.

I have phpBB-2.0.10_to_2.0.11.patch in my directory, E:\Spillmodding\upgrade\phpBB2. The patch.exe is also there.
update_to_2011.php is also in /install.

Then I have tried to run these commands, without any luck.

E:\Spillmodding\upgrade\phpBB2\patch -cl -p1 < phpBB-2.0.10_to_2.0.11.patch > result.txt

E:\Spillmodding\upgrade\phpBB2\patch -cl -p1 [E:\Spillmodding new\upgrade\phpBB2] -p1 < [phpBB-2.0.10_to_2.0.11.patch]
What am I doing wrong?

Hi!

The tutorial is not correctly written in some points. Try this:

put the patch.exe and the phpBB-2.0.10_to_2.0.11.patch in E:\Spillmodding\upgrade\ and run the following command from that directory

Code: Select all

patch -cl -d E:\Spillmodding\upgrade\phpBB2 -p1 < phpBB-2.0.10_to_2.0.11.patch

You got the squared brackets wrong, and it's NOT patch -cl -p1 but patch -cl -d in the beginning!

I've been following this thread trying to intall the 2.0.10_2.0.13 patch.
I have my phpBB2 files on my hardrive along with the the phpBB-2.0.10_to_2.0.13.patch file, and patch.exe in the same root folder.
I open patch.exe and type in the command you gave at the prompt, but modified for the patch file I am using, as posted:

Code: Select all

patch -c1 -d < C:\Documents and SEttings\jc\My Documents\WEB PROJECTS\PHPBBS\public_html -p1 <phpBB-2.0.10_to_2.0.13.patch

Once typed into the prompt, I hit enter and nothing happens.
How do I execute this command in patch.exe?

Thanks,

John

Hi....

I also have been following this thread trying to intall the 2.0.2_2.0.14 patch.

I have my phpBB2 files on my hard drive along with the the phpBB-2.0.2_to_2.0.14.patch file, and patch.exe in the same folder. (all in C:\TBF)

I open patch.exe and type in the command you gave at the prompt, but modified for the patch file I am using, as posted:

Code: Select all

patch -c1 -d  C:\TBF -p1 < phpBB-2.0.2_to_2.0.14.patch

Once typed into the prompt, I hit enter and nothing happens.
How do I execute this command in patch.exe?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew!

Try to put the phpBB-2.0.2_to_2.0.14.patch and patch.exe in c:\ (the root folder), make sure the prompt shows c:\> only and try the command again.
