phpbb: upgrading from 2.0.17 to 2.0.19

New Member Joined: Apr 04, 2006 Posts: 9

I recently did a fresh install of the 2.02 distro, which if I'm reading correctly should have come with the 2.0.19 phpbb? I had imported my nuke_bb tables so as not to lose posts, and my phpbb admin panel is saying I'm running 2.0.17. Is this because of the import? Do I need to upgrade? How do I go about that?

you can simply change the config value in the db with like phpmyadmin

If you moved your nuke_bb tables from an older version, you will need to upgrade those tables to 2.0.19
The upgrade scripts from BBToNuke packages should work for you

sounds like same problem I had on fresh install I just changed version

INSERT INTO `nuke_bbconfig` VALUES ('version', '.0.19');

so, I'm assuming I'd use the ones for patched 3.1? I found this link:

http://phpnuke-uk.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5612

which gives all the downloads from nukeresources - I'd just get the 2.0.18 and the 2.0.19 files for patched?

Ok I guess that's what I'm wondering, then - is it just my tables that need to be updated to 2.0.19, or is there something wrong with my install, or do I just need to trick the admin panel into thinking it's 2.0.19?

if you loaded your phpBB sql db after you installed rn7.6 then you just reset the version back to .17, I did samething and just changed it to .19, my forums db's work fine

yeah I did a clean install of 7.6, then.. because I was confused by working with ginormous sql dumps and didn't see a better way to handle it, put the mysqldump file from my old site into a fresh DB, then dropped everything that wasn't nuke_bb, nuke_user and a couple other things I was keeping, did a new dump with add-drop-table and imported that into my new 7.6 install.

so I really do have 2.0.19, the nuke_bb import just had the old version in it so the admin panel is confused? if I'm understanding you right.

thats what the distro says it comes with, so I am assuming thats correct 2.0.19

Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2006 9:28 am

yeah.. just wondering if the tables themselves are differently structured and there's something that needs updating with the script.

possibly if there really old

Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2006 9:43 am

not -really- old. October 05.

Would I hurt it, running the upgrade script anyway?

Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2006 9:49 am

shouldnt....... maybe compare your sql tables to new see if anything is different, I remember seeing something about changes but think thats in chatservs 3.2 patch, not sure its related but like I said I used mine with no problems. I would double check and compare.

Use the upgrade script from BBToNuke 2.0.18 and 2.0.19

Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2006 11:06 am

Yeah that's what I decided to do, backed everything up and just finished running them - they seem OK, so I'll just hang on to the backups for a little while to be sure.

Thanks for the help guys!
