i tried upgrading from rc4 to 110 and everything was going ok at the end i get a msg No upgrade was nessesary. then i deleted install dir i point browser to mybb folder i get

mySQL error: 1054
Unknown column 'themebits' in 'field list'
Query: SELECT name,tid,themebits FROM mybb_themes WHERE def='1'
Please make sure that the column "themebits" exists in the table mybb_themes. If not you can add it by running the following query:
ALTER TABLE mybb_themes ADD themebits text NOT NULL;
After that it could be necessary to reimport the default theme.
No upgrade was nessesary

adding the themebits didn't help me i had the same error except i had to replace the db_mysql.php file to get the setup to work then it was going good and all of a sudden i click next and it says No Upgrade was Neccessary.
SO i think it's done upgrading and delete the install folder then it gives me the

and when i added the themebits like you said it didn't fix anything!

The problem is the upgrade doesn't finish so nothing will work!

Oh wait but the admin center works!! .... This is annoying!
In admin center it says:

Yeah that's not an error, to check the correct version, you should look at the version in the footer of the Admin CP

Just adding columns won't help.

Did you select RC4 from the list during the upgrade wizard?
I'm getting exact the same errors (including the last one, No Upgrade was Neccessary)

(upgrading from rc4 -> 1.1.1)
i also had to use this fix.
http://community.mybboard.net/showthread...4#pid33624

so did anyone found a fix?

it goes wrong after this screen:

Performing Queries

Performing necessary upgrade queries..
DoneClick next to continue with the upgrade process.

it's button value:
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="4_done" />


[edit]
ok i replaced 4_done by "templates" in a custom html and now i can continue with the next steps (untill its final screen) only bug is that the template isn't fully correct (well the forum works, but some graphics issues)
-> seems that each forum must have a parent, it may not be loose.

-> attachments aren't working Confused
Can you provide some sort of screenshots or a link to your forum to see the template problems?

Also, what about attachments aren't working?
hey chris, I'll redo the conversion tonight and make screenshots.

About the attachments, they just won't load, but again, i will show it tonight.

Hey chris,
as promised I made a movie (not realtime!) on how i did the upgrade.

I started with a MyBB RC4 which i converted to the latest 1.1.1 version.
