Cannot update from 2.0.15 to 2.5 stable

[Dawn]

Hi,

I've today tried upgrading from PMF 2.0.15 to the latest PMF 2.5.0. I've deleted all files - as suggested - except inc/data.php (there is no inc/config.php) and the attachments folder. The upgrade worked without any problems till the db update, then I got the following error message:

DB error: Duplicate key name 'idx_user_time'

Query:
CREATE INDEX idx_user_time ON faqsessions (user_id, time)

When I try to access my site then, I got the following warnings:

Code: Select all

EDIT:
PHP-Version: 5.2.9
MySQL-Version: 5.0.51a
Update Option used: PMF 2.0.0 RC2 and later

The layout is really messed up then. So I had to load my backup data back and still use PMF 2.0.15. Do you have any idea what's the problem? Can I provide additional information?

Best regards and big thanks for this great software,
Dawn

Hi,

Update Option used: PMF 2.0.0 RC2 and later

you have to choose "2.0.2 and later".

Please run the update again and it should work. Your 2.0 layout should be mostly compatible but you have to do some edits...

bye

Oh, such a dumb mistake, thanks for the hint This solved the upgrade procedure...

After this I had to do the following steps:
1. Create the directory "data" and chmod it to 777 (755 isn't enough, but it was for PMF 2.0.15?).
2. Edit _.htaccess and and change the RewriteBase to "/"
3. Rename _.htaccess to .htaccess

I think (and I did this in every release before) it's much easier overwriting the old installation with the new files and .

Best regards and thanks a lot for this new great release

Best regards,
Dawn

PS: Isn't it very insecure that everyone can grab the logfiles from "data"?

Hi,

PS: Isn't it very insecure that everyone can grab the logfiles from "data"?

depends... but we're working on a better solution.
