I admit it, I am a rookie!
, although I was able to setup 1.4. It has been over a year since I messed around with the forum. So I finally decided to upgrade to 1.411.
Although I am following the directions on the Wiki page I am still having problems. I uploaded the 'uploads' folder and changed the settings.php and config.php (not sure if configdefault.php is the same??) and I came up with this error:
http://www.asianadventures.org/forum/index.php
Obviously, I am doing something wrong, I would appreciate some help. Also, if there is anyone on here who has the patience and time to walk me through it and make sure it is done correctly, I am willing to give you my contact/ server info.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Thanks Tim, Just to confirm, where do I need to put config.php? I am assuming the public_html area, but which folder?
Inside the inc folder, make sure its the one from your forum before you started the upgrade which I assume you have a copy of.

I do have a copy of it, and I made sure it was in the location you stated, still it's not working. Any other advice? Thanks

Ok, these errors indicate that your MySQL details are incorrect, can you ensure that the MySQL details in the config.php file are correct.

It is the file I got from the 1.411 folder, so I am assuming it is correct??
No, your config file should be from before your upgrade. Just open your current config.php file thats upload and set these values to the correct one:
$config['database']['type'] = 'mysqli';
$config['database']['database'] = 'enterdatabasename';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';
$config['database']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['database']['username'] = 'entermysqlusername';
$config['database']['password'] = 'entermysqlpassword';
Normally the hostname, table_prefix and type are the same as the settings above.

Everything resembled what you stated above, except that I needed to change the mysql password. After changing it, it did not make a difference - still does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks
It is still saying that your MySQL details are incorrect, if you want to PM me your cPanel details I'll take a look, otherwise wait until Matt sees this thread and he might have some ideas.
