I messed it up so deleted the board ready to reinstall 1.2.14, load my back-up and then start all over again. My problem is I can't get past the Database configuration page. Every time I do so I get a 404 error.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.]]> After successfully upgrading on a local version I then tried the upgrade on a live test board.

Okay I need help with my forum (muteforumz.tk).
first of all I'm running on version 1.2.13

Im trying to upgrade to the latest version.
but I am not advancing. at all.

I am currently using this tutorial.

All other versions 

   1. Unzip the release archive to your computer using an archive utility capable of decompressing the download format you chose (Winzip)
   2. Using an ftp client (FlashFXP), upload the contents of the 'upload' directory to the directory in which you have a previous version of MyBB installed, with the exception of uploading of the following file:
      ./inc/settings.php
   3. In your browser, visit the URL where you installed your forums, appending /install/upgrade.php on to the end of it.

      If you installed your forums to http://www.yoursite.com/forums/, then you would visit http://www.yoursite.com/forums/install/upgrade.php
   4. Select the version of MyBB which you were previously running and click 'Next.' Follow the upgrade process through making sure each step is completed successfully before clicking 'Next' to continue with the next steps of the upgrade process.
   5. Once the upgrade process has completed, please remove the install directory from your web server and follow any remaining instructions in the upgrade wizard.

Congratulations, your forums should now be running the version of MyBB within this release.

I Already have FlashFXP
I get lost when it says "upload the contents of the 'upload' directory to the directory in which you have a previous version of MyBB installed"
where is it normally installed? cuz Im not sure.
I dont have a site, I just have the forums.

If any of you can help than please do cuz I have no clue how to do this]]>

I must admit that I am using vbulletin 3.7.3 and I did notice in the convert that it supports only 3.6. I am not sure if that could be the reason although I don't think that should be too much of a issue however I am not a techy either.

So what can I do here to get this fixed and changed over to MyBB software?

Once I have registered with that host, what do I do? What do I do with the files? I also do not know much at all with FTP. What do I do with that?
If anymore details are needed, please tell me.

My serverhost has a knowledge base where i found info that says not to use "localhost" as my servername. They say to use what it says when i log onto myphpadmin.

I still have the error:

There seems to be one or more errors with the database configuration information that you supplied:

* Could not connect to the database server at 'slackerfootball.com' with the supplied username and password. Are you sure the hostname and user details are correct?

Once the above are corrected, continue with the installation.

Is the time picked up from the ISPs server? Even so, I would have thought that checking the DLST on/off might have made a difference.
Now I've reverted back to the standard MyBB theme due to an "Authorisation Code Mismatch" error with the Webmaster theme, the time is now showing correctly so I feel that the time display issue is also perhaps related to the theme as well.

Moral of the story: do all the set up and configuring under the standard MyBB theme so you can see what is going on rather than having issues masked or introduced by the theme itself.]]>
