Attempting to upgrade from 3.0.14

[DAB942]

Good afternoon,

When attempting to upgrade, I receive ACP_FEED_SETTINGS Exists and the upgrade stops. Everything is standard.

under ACP, I see ACP_FEED_SETTINGS and ACP_SEND_STATISTICS

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

That's the guide I followed.

It gets to 5% and stops with the ACP... Exists error.

What error?

Please post the contents of your config.php file, without the password.

There error says ACP_FEED_SETTINGS already exists.

Here is the config.php
<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = 'dabberco_forums';
$dbuser = 'dabberco_forums';
$dbpasswd = '';

$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
// @define('DEBUG', true);
// @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
?>

Change 'mysql' to 'mysqli' and try again.

I made some progress -- it made it to 16% and gave the debug error. I had to cleanup the errant ACP and MCP modules -- seems from previous upgrade attempt. The below is after I got to 16%. Went back in to see if I could find the MCP module. I did not, so I tried to upgrade. However, the debug error is identical.

Got it. After several iterations. I had all sorts of challenges.

However, ran STK, first. This was an old version which had mods much earlier and may have had remnants.

Changed mysql to mysqli in config.ini

I kept getting different errors along the way, so I started from a back up and made a new DB to import.

All is well, now.
