Has anyone had success with updating an existing forum from 3.4.7 to 4.0 Beta 2?  I get tons of errors.  First when converting members.  We have 344,000 members and it would die with "An error occurred Location: Step 1. Application Core" about every 25,000 or so.  I would click retry and it would start going again.  Once I get through members went smoothly for a bit and then died again.  These errors:

• Unknown column 'sys_module_admin' in 'where clause' UPDATE `ibf_core_modules` SET `sys_module_area`=? WHERE sys_module_admin=1 
  Location: Step 1. Application Core
• Unknown column 'title' in 'field list' INSERT INTO `ibf_core_member_ranks` ( `id`, `posts`, `title`, `pips` ) VALUES ( ?, ?, ?, ? ) 
  Location: Step 1. Application Core
• Unknown column 'title' in 'field list' INSERT INTO `ibf_core_member_ranks` ( `id`, `posts`, `title`, `pips` ) VALUES ( ?, ?, ?, ? ) 
  Location: Step 1. Application Core

And it keeps going from there.  I have tried upgrading three times so far and same batch of errors at about the same time.

I believe this has been fixed for Beta 3

0. Repair tables in admin panel of old forum.

1. In SSH: mysqldump -u username -password basename > basename.sql

2. In mysql console:

DROP DATABASE basename;

CREATE DATABASE basename;

3. In SSH: mysql -u username -password basename < basename.sql

4. Delete all files from site directory and upload files of beta2 with old conf_global.php

5. http://yoursite/admin/upgrade/

 

For 3.4.5 / 3.4.7 -> beta2
