I am just now getting around to upgrading from v1.2.3. I have downloaded the various update files directly to my RH7.3 system.
I started with the update-v1.2.8.php script placed in my /var/www/html directory and did a chmod 777. When I run it from my browser it starts ok and then asks for the full path to GLOBALS.php. There is symbolic link to it in my /var/www/html/forum directory but the original file is in /var/www/forumdata/include directory. If I supply either path I get the message "You do not appear to be inside forum's main www directory". What directory should I give it?
Thanks.
Jim

/var/www/forumdata/include/GLOBALS.php is the path your need to specify.

That is what I had tried before. Just to make sure, I pasted your suggestion into the form. I received the same message. It did also display the 'next' button but I did not want to proceed when there was an error message because I did not want to risk messing things up.

Your forum in installed inside /var/www/html/forum, hence the upgrade script should be there as well.

You are using the wrong script, you should have downloaded:

What is the problem now?
P.S. The forum is now unresponsive. If there an undo procedure to get back to where I was before I tried to do this upgrade?

File permissions are the problem.
Mkae sure the webserver has access to the directories it is trying to create.

Can you be more specific?
In the forum directory, apache is the owner of all the files except the upgrade script. The chmod is 777 for all except php.php and blank.gif. I think there used to be more files in there - did the upgrade delete a bunch?
Looks like most files in adm are 666 (CVS is just 755) all owned by apache.
Note - I really appreciate your help. Impossible to do this without help. The documentation does not seem to say anything about these details that can go wrong.

The upgrade script did/should have removed a number of files, those will be re-created later. Some new directories should've been created like include/static theme/default and several others.

ok, I am willing to keep trying - but what should I try next? My forum is now in limbo.
As an experiment I removed the user_settings directory that gave the first error message for line 552. The message went away but the warnings for line 180 are still there plus the final error about not being able to create the sql directory.
I then created the forumdata/sql directory. Made apache the owner and chmod 777. Then ran the script again. Same results including the complaint about not being able to create the sql directory.
I have no idea what to try next.

Try running it again, when you get a permissions error, see why it happened and act acordingly, for example create directories if needed etc...

I am sorry, but I already said I have tried that where I could. All the directories are owned by apache and 777. Most of the files are 666. I created the sql directory but got the same error message. What else can I do?

When I run the script I get a long list of warnings from line 180 about not being able to unlink files. What files are these? Since it is just a warning should I be concerned?
The error message is about not being able to create the /var/www/forumdata/sql directory. I created it by hand and the script still gives the same errors.
Just before all the warnings it says "Decompressing New Forum Files". Has that been done yet or does it mean it is about to do it before it fails? Has it gotten far enough through the script that I could do some of the next steps by hand?
I have a complete copy of the /var partition that I made before these updates (I was running 1.2.3) and the update from RH7.2 to RH7.3. Can I just copy the old files back and return to version 1.2.3 or would that mess up the data files? I need to do something to get the forum back online!
Could I get a response from someone please?
