Guest Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 - Do not use this software on a public install. The software will expire after October 30, 2006 and may contain issues that prevent it from operating properly. Wait for the final series for your public boards.- If you wish to test the upgrade from 2.1.7 to 2.2 please do so on a copy of your database. Do not perform an upgrade on your live data. We will not be able to assist you if the upgrade fails.- You will be able to upgrade from 2.2 Public Beta 2 to 2.2 RC 1 when it is available.
ellawella Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Does this mean he's screwed?No, it means your reading comprehension skills need work.
Canadian Hotdogman Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 What if it gets released after the 30th?
GerryMc Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Can I able to upgrade 2.1.7 to 2.2 RC1?Yes you will be able to.
GerryMc Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 uhhh.... can I downgrade?No you cant buddy they said not to use on a public board until RC1
abney317 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 noooooo!!luckily my forum only has 47 posts :P
Canadian Hotdogman Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 And chances are RC1 will be out before the 30th so I think you're safe.
abney317 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 :( I REALLY hope it comes outbecause I've alreay re-done my forum once
GerryMc Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 And chances are RC1 will be out before the 30th so I think you're safe.RC1 cannot be put over Beta 2 one is encoded therefore can not be upgraded
Canadian Hotdogman Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 RC1 cannot be put over Beta 2 one is encoded therefore can not be upgradedYes it can.
GerryMc Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 :( I REALLY hope it comes outbecause I've alreay re-done my forum onceSorry mate I think you will be doing it again, RC1 is uncoded and Beta 2 is coded and cannot be overwritten, hence the warning from IPS at the start of the Beta.
abney317 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 great. now what??? can I upgrade it or not?? :blink:
Canadian Hotdogman Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Don't listen to him!You will be able to upgrade from 2.2 Public Beta 2 to 2.2 RC 1 when it is available.
Terry - AKA Dumbledore Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Sorry mate I think you will be doing it again, RC1 is uncoded and Beta 2 is coded and cannot be overwritten, hence the warning from IPS at the start of the Beta.I don't know where you learned computers from, but all you have to do is copy the new files over the beta files and they will be overwritten. Then just run the upgrade script and It will work fine, Just remember to not over write the global_config file and all will be fine. Encoding of the file only keep the code from be read in standard editor, the file can be copied over like any other file.
abney317 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 cool... so all of my topics and posts will stay?
Terry - AKA Dumbledore Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 cool... so all of my topics and posts will stay?The topics and posts are in you database not the files of the board software.
