I attempted to upgrade for RC2 to RC3 yesterday and managed to mangle and destroy my forum completely. I **am** suppposed to go through the entire install routine again, aren't I? I assumed (apprently erroneously) that data would be preserved, but it looked like the database was re-initialized instead.

I'm a little hesitant to try again as it took me a good while to re-customize everything.

The data should have been preserved, the upgrade script does not delete any data not does it clear any tables.

Let's go through the upgrade process and see where the problem has occured.

1) You've downloaded the upgrade script
2) Decompressed the downloaded archive
3) Copied upgrade.php from the decompressed archive into the forum's main web dir (WWW_ROOT)
4) Ran the script with your browser. (did you get any errors?)
5) Ran the consistency checker to rebuild data caches

At this point you say that when you go to visit the forum non of the data is there? Have you checked the actualy MySQL db to see if all the tables have indeed been cleared?

Keep in mind that the upgrade script has made a backup of your files, which can be found inside errors/.backup directory so your layout changes have not been lost and can easily restored.
