Hi,

I am running fudforum here:

ultimatepp.org/forum/

I would like to upgrade to recent version, but I have got stuck at first step:

Before doing on production machine, I wanted to test first on local one. I have installed 2.7.6 FUDForum there, got it working without troubles. Then I have dumped the forum data, imported and forum stopped to work. I am getting these errors in apache log:

[Sun Mar 23 16:45:30.911119 2014] [:error] [pid 4772] [client 127.0.0.1:53731] PHP Warning:  gettimeofday(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /var/FUDforum/include/core.inc on line 55

and this is sql_error:

?584       ?1395589369?(/var/www/forum/index.php:75<br />


It looks there is something wrong with sessions management, but as I am no PHP expert, I have hard time to figure that out.

Further note: As my suspection is that there might be something wrong with theming (which looks to get imported as well), I have recently tried to overwrite all files except messages and file attachements from "clean backup", but that does not helped either.

Any tips what might be wrong? BTW, I wonder whether the is an option to move just forum structure and messages?

Thanks,

Mirek

I have spent some days over that and for the public entertainment and perhaps as hints of things that might be fixed, here is the list of issues I had to do to perform migration:

ultimatepp.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=8665&start=0&

Seriously, I would say that the whole forum dump process is inadequate, there appears to be way to much things that could go wrong. Perhaps it would be better to rather use some neutral text format for that, dumping SQL tables as they are is tricky...

You are running an old unsupported release of FUDforum. If you neglect a forum this long, upgrading it is going to be painful (no matter what software you use).

As workaround to the dump & restore problem, try backing up the files and DB manually.
To restore, see "I've moved my forum to a new server, how do I get it to work again?" @ FAQ.
