i tried the 1.10 update file.
When I do the web install, it gives me the following error.

/xxx/kopitiam/data/include/GLOBALS.php is not a valid FUDforum GLOBALS.php file

so exactly which GLOBALS.php is it referring to? Wink

/xxx/kopitiam/data/include/


Unusual.

It would appear the error is occuring because php thinks
that
( realpath() <- PHP's path resolving function )

readpath('/xxx/kopitiam/data/include/GLOBALS.php') != realpath($GLOBALS['INCLUDE'].'GLOBALS.php');


You can slightly modify the script to bypass this check, although I wonder why this happens...

TO comment out the GLOBALS.php validity code comment out lines: 188-192 inside update.php

If possible PM me or show me what php's realpath function resolves the path of GLOBALS.php to...

Verify that your index.php has been replaced, as the greeting should be there in the new version.
The online/offline status you may want to check that you have enabled in the global control panel. It is an option you can turn on & off.

The brunt of the 1.1.0 release was bug fixes and various code cleanups. The SQL indexes has been completely reworked from scratch to offer better performance as well.
The admin now has the ability to edit ALL of the user's settings.
A number of optimizations were added that made most commonly used poritions of the forum, such as message drawing much faster.

For full details read the change log.

nope index.php has not been replaced. I have my index.php set to user makan, owner makan, so is that the reason why the file is not overwritten? And no, i still cannot edit ALL user's settings from the admin control panel.

Most definately, the upgrade script should have given you warnings saying that file(s) could not have been replaced and told you how to fix the problem (what to chmod).

I suspect many of your files have NOT been replaced as the result.

if you are the owner of the files, their permissions should have been 666, to allow the webserver to modify the files.

If you did not recieve a warning, it implies the upgrade script was able to do its job.

What is the date of your index.php? and if possible its md5sum?

What's the date on the file(s)?

Also, could you paste me the output of the upgrade script?

Okie, lets do a step by step check to see what has gone wrong.

1) Did you place the update.php script inside your forum's root browseable directory or somewhere else? It should be in the same dir where index.php for the forum resides.
ex: my forum was installed inside
/home/forum/www/docs/forum/
which is where I copied my update.php
so I could run it by going to http://fud.prohost.org/forum/update.php

that's the consistency checker output, not the output of the update.php script.

Would it be possible for you to get on IRC for a little while, it will be far faster for us to talk that way?
