upgrade error

[piginzen]

i am upgrading from 1.3.14

and i get this error at step 5

phpMyFAQ 1.4.2 Update

The connection to the MySQL server could not be established.

The error message of the MySQL server:

|

Error: No Database Selected

Query:

ALTER TABLE faqvoting ADD ip VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL


prior to that, every step went perfectly...

any ideas?

thanks,
mat

Hi,

strange. Are there any entries in your data.php file?

nope... it's empty:

<?php
$DB["server"] = '';
$DB["user"] = '';
$DB["password"] = '';
$DB["db"] = '';
$DB["prefix"] = '';
?>

Hi,

did you choose the right version from which you've upgraded? I think you didn't and then a error occured. Did the upgrade script wrote an backup file in the directory inc/?

I think you've chosen a wrong version from which phpMyFAQ version you wnat to upgrade. The thing you can do is to re-install your 1.3.14 and do a clean upgrade.
