Hexsplosions Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yesterday I upgraded a test site from 3.4.7 to IPS 4 beta 6. I encountered a few issues but before I start raising bugs I want to see if I have made any novice mistakes that could have been the cause. Installed IP.BoardGalleryNexus Procedure 1. Duplicate files in a test folder.2. Edit global_conf.php to reflect the new path.3. Uploaded a copy of my live DB to a test DB.4. Edit global_conf.php to reflect the new database.5. Accessed the ACP on the test site and updated the paths for uploads and for Gallery.6. Deleted all old files from the test folder except global_conf.php and the uploads folder.7. Uploaded IPS4 files to the test folder.8. Ran the upgrader. Is this how others would do it? Issues I encountered were Nexus failing to load (error: EX0), various error messages when updating settings in the ACP, Gallery images not loading, Gallery images not showing an owner, etc. It just seemed like too much was going wrong hence I want to rule out my own stupidity first.
NorCan Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I would try to skip step 6 and see if that helps. Overwrite what needs to be overwritten, and keep the rest. Hopefully, a clean-up script will be launched at a later stage, or you can do a manual procedure once you made sure everything works

After this go to the ACP and recache everything ( Look&Feel->Template Tools and System->Cache Management) Had not thought of that. Will give it a go. Cheers both.
