MyBB Community Forums

Well..., I'm back again with my weird problems, sorry to bother you

1) What version of MyBB you are upgrading from: 1.2.13
2) Plugins are deactivated and deleted from the inc/plugins directory.
3) Exact error received:
Can´t login as Admin to perform the 1.4.1 upgrade. The Upgrade page modifies the SQL Column "usergroup" of the Admin (it changes from "4" [Administrator] to "2" [Normal User])
4) The page you were trying to access:
When you type the admin user and his password (first page of the upgrade), and presses the button, then appears:
[attachment=10845]

When this happens I thought it was a cookie problem, but when I look inside the "mybb_users" field and in the "usergroup" column I can't believe that the Admin usergroup was "2" ([Normal User]. So I changed it manually to "4" [Administrator], save it, check if it was "4", and tried to login again...

And same error! Then I looked back to the usergroup column and... it was "2" again! (and so on..., I changed it manually to "4", and the Upgrade Login Page reverte it to "2")

Any clue? Thanks

Did you upload a backup?? If so you log in with your old account, so you'd have the permission being an admin.

But I have a feeling it's more than that in this case...

Hi Matt_ again!

Upload a backup of the 1.1.8 version, then upgrade to the 1.2.13 version (tested & works withou problems), and now want to upgrade again.
My old account is the same as the new one

Me too....

Same problem happening here!

What to do?

Make sure you deactivate and remove all plugins/modifications before upgrading.

Forgot that ..... my bad. Thanks for the help

So it is working now? If it is, please state which plugin/modification was doing this...

Not my case...

As I said:
2) Plugins are deactivated and deleted from the inc/plugins directory.

Did you delete the plugins before or after you ran the upgrade?

Before...

I deleted all the files of my old forum and copy the new ones.
