Hello all!
Can I update MyBB software to the latest addition with out screwing up my forum? Is there any precautions I need to take? I have 1.6.10 , and want to update to 1.6.11.
Thank you, James
Edit: Well, I just updated, and I got this message after a refresh.
MyBB has experienced an internal error and cannot continue.
Error Type:
MyBB Error (42)
Error Message:
Your board has not yet been upgraded. Please do so before attempting to browse it.
Any advice?
have you run the upgrade script by visiting YOURforumURL/install/upgrade.php ?
No. But I just did and got this;
Error
The installer is currently locked, please remove 'lock' from the install directory to continue
Fatal error: Class 'DataHandler' not found in /home2/james/public_html/pcdefinedforum.com/inc/plugins/ranks/class/ranks.php on line 16
Quick Question for future reference. What are the steps I need to take when updating?
installer locked --> there is a file named lock in the install folder. delete it
fatal error --> check if it comes again
update precautions --> basically you have to take backup of database. if you have modified any system
files (eg. changed phrases in language files) then you have to take backups of such files.
you may also keep a backup of inc/settings.php file.
and you have to put your forum OFFLINE, then upload the upgrade files, and finally run the upgrade script
