Migration from PHP Nuke 7.6 Patched to 2.30.00 Raven

Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 7:41 pm

Hello Raven Members,

I have made the decision to try and migrate my site to Raven. I guess I have been sold!
I'm able to install Raven version 2.30.00, RavenNuke with no problems and trying to transfer all the forums data from my PHP Nuke 7.6 patched nuke site (with current phpbb2 patches) to Raven 2.30.00.
I have taken each forum tables i.e.

nuke_bbposts_text.sql

and all other and deleting the ones in the install and replacing with the old ones. I'm however getting bug reports and errors. Can anyone please show me the way as to what is the best way to complete a migration from PHP Nuke 7.6 patched nuke site to Raven 2.30.00.

Thank you!

You won't just be able to use your old tables. You will need to make sure your tables match what RavenNuke is using. There is a table comparison script included in the package for you to do this

See the install documentation on moving your site to RavenNuke

Thank you for your response. I did run the report, and it provided me with some information which I don't know what to do with for now.
Question, will all my themes work from the old PHP Nuke 7.6 which I have installed? Not a major issue but it would be nice.
I have noticed already that some 3rd party modules will not work such as Site Messenger 1.4. Will I likely run in to Raven's version of nuke not working with modules and blocks?

You need to create all the missing tables and columns in your database.
Check the folder Installation/sql there rn_core. At the end you will find some lines to alter the tables to use the Attachment Mod.

Blocks and modules with the old $dbi will not work in version 2.30.0 without changes in the mainfile.php or you modify the code of your old blocks/modules from $dbi to $db

Hi. I have a phpnuke site. I decided to install the new forum module that came in raven nuke. I made the necessary changes in my tables. They match what RavenNuke is using.
Every thing seens to be ok with the tables and coluns. But I steel have the following problem/erro message:

General Error

Failed obtaining forum access control lists

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1054 Unknown column 'a.auth_download' in 'field list'

SELECT a.forum_id, a.auth_view, a.auth_read, a.auth_post, a.auth_reply, a.auth_edit, a.auth_delete, a.auth_sticky, a.auth_announce, a.auth_vote, a.auth_pollcreate, a.auth_attachments, a.auth_download, a.auth_mod FROM xxxx_bbauth_access a, comb_bbuser_group ug WHERE ug.user_id = 60 AND ug.user_pending = 0 AND a.group_id = ug.group_id AND a.forum_id = 12

Line : 155
File : auth.php

Please. What is wrong? My xxxx_bbauth_access table has the auth_download field.
I realy need help.
Thanks

I have to tell you that was my best decision in life! just don't tell my wife I wrote this Laughing

You made the right choice bro!
I was never able to do that on my own, instead Guardian provided his exceptional service!!! and had me up and running in no time. Not sure of his schedule these days! but you might want to drop him a message Very Happy

guilherne, from your post, though, it sounds like all you did was try to rip out the forum pieces and use them in your existing site???? Or, are you really saying that you migrated to a complete RavenNuke(tm) 2.4.0 installation?

I just want to make sure we all understand exactly what you have done.

montego, thanks for answer and help. While writing this reply I identified my mistake: When I created the new 'auth_download' field in nuke_bbauth_access table, instead of create 'auth_download' field, I have created ' auth_download', with a space before the first 'a'.
I´m now making some changes because my phpnuke site doesn´t have some necessary functions like csrf_conf().
I´m having to do changes in my code to implement these functions.
Exemple of messages errors:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function csrf_conf() in /home/militar/public_html/modules/Forums/posting.php on line 87
Thanks.
Best regards
