MyBB Community Forums

hello,

I have a problem when I want to go from version 1.4.13 to version 1.6 of my MyBB forum. I follow this tutorial http://wiki.mybb.com/index.php/Upgrading but when I click to start the migration, I get an error that says FORBIDDEN on /install/upgrade.php (with chmod 777). I can not go further. Also if I back on my forum after this step, I have MySQL error telling me that there is no any tables (ex : feriale_threadprefixes).

Please help me.

Thank

Are you sure it's 777? I've never seen this before. O.o

Yes, I'm sure. I use linux ubuntu 10.04

PHP VERSION : 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2

You chmod value is too high. Try 755 instead.

I call BULL here. Its unsafe, but wont give a FORBIDDEN error. Check your folder permissions as well. And your .htaccess. And other such things as those that may affect it.

Some hosts will give a 500 if it's set to 777, there's really no need for it, set it to 644 and see if it works.

I ran the update via localhost, everything works flawlessly except this little problem with the display of members online :

I have the problem with all the themes (the basic one included)
