What happens running the converter on an  untouched database using utf8mb4 rather than utf8? Check this to see if it will recognize these characters. If this still acts the same then it should be reported as a bug under Bug Reports - Extras - Converters.

hello, I try to upgrade my forum in localhost.

everything seems find until I got this error on upgrade process :

Table 'ipb.ipb_core_view_updates' doesn't exist
C:\UniServerZ\www\community/applications/core/setup/upg_101019/queries.json - query #2

TRUNCATE `ipb_core_view_updates`

 

any clue? How should I do? is it save to continue the upgrade?

I have also received this message and it is due to the table not being there. Go ahead and hit continue and it will be created. The rest of the install should then be fine.

Hello ! :)

Can you tell me how I can check if the database conversion to UTF-8 worked ?

I visited my web site's different topics to see if they loaded well and without any errors, I looked at the size of the database to see if it was about the same as before, and I ran a check in phpmyadmin. What else can I do ?

Does IPB 3.4.9 have tools to check the conversion to UTF-8 and the upgrade to IPB 4 ?

Thank you. :)

In your database (2nd page usually)

Find
utf8convert.thumb.png.aa51f1bc0df52d4284

If you see these 2 tables you should be good to go.

Table 'forum_test.ibf_cms_page_menu' doesn't exist

/xxxxxx/test/httpdocs/system/Db/Select.php:402

SELECT * FROM `ibf_cms_page_menu` AS `cms_page_menu`

I looked in /var/lib/mysql/test/ and that table does not exist.  

I'm trying to upgrade a 3.4.9 forum to the latest 4.1.7.

I'm using MAMP on OSX. I exported the database and imported it locally. Created the same DB username and password as on my production forum. I then copied the entire /forums directory from my production site to my MAMP server's htdocs folder. 

I edited conf_global.php to change the board_url to "http://localhost/forums". I left the DB name, username and pass all the same as these didn't change. 

When I try to hit http://localhost/forums/admin/ (or just /forums/, or anything else) I get a 500 error. What am I missing or doing wrong?

 

EDIT: I figured it out. Looks like MAMP was trying to use PHP 7.0.0 by default. Switched it to 5.6.10 and then it worked. Well, I at least got the database error... so that's a start.

From others who have moved over to php 7 the consensus was favorable. It is possible it is just a fluke with Mamp. I really can't offer anymore on this not using the product. I am not sure if Wamp or Xampp are compatible with your system either.

You say you received a database error. What was it? Are you now able to access the front end and admin panel?

Hi,

do I need to convert it UTF-8 or UTF-8 MB4? Which is better?
My board isn't that big, just 80 posts and a few threads...

I used 4-byte UTF 8 and it worked great!

Hello,

Maybe somebody can help me. We did the upgrade and everything went well, about an hour later (and with nothing changed from our side) all the css was gone and it's just loading in text mode. There are a lot of background processes still running, so I am not sure if I need to wait it out. Any ideas?

Could you please provide a link to your site?

I agree this is unusual and needs looking into.

Just did a clean install and now I am having trouble integrating the database.  The install created new tables in the database but kept the old ones so I need to merge/integrate/convert the old tables into the new ones.  Tried to do it through upgrade but that didn't work.

Is there anything that I did wrong and is there a way to fix it?

  • 1 month later...

Originally thought my issue was an 3 to 4 upgrade problem but when I back tracked today I discovered my local 3.X clone had the same issue. Running on MAMP, ioncube installed. To verify the environment I have both a vanilla 3.x and 4.x install running on the same server with no issues. Did a reinstall of my production system using the step by step instructions in this thread still end up with access to the ACP and the forum homepage, but when I try any forum I get  "requested URL /test_p15d24ph_forum/forum/4-p15-d24-forum/ was not found on this server."  I'm stumped at this point.  I guess next try is re-download files from my production server and try again. Looking for suggestions. 

Ok I identified the problem, hopefully someone can tell me how to fix it! For example the URL being requested is: http://localhost/test_p15d24ph_forum/forum/4-p15-d24-forum/ and it results in an error. However if I add index.php in the URL it works correctly for example: http://localhost/test_p15d24ph_forum/index.php/forum/4-p15-d24-forum/

I'm assuming this is a config issue somewhere so I hoping someone can get me pointed to the right file(s) for a fix. 

 

One more bit of info. On my production system the URLs look like http://p15-d24.com/forum/4-p15-d24-forum/  so apparently I haven't set it up correctly for the local host correctly. Any suggestions? 

Found it :-)  I got rid of htaccess for local testing and still had on mod_rewrite in the Friendly URL features section. Setting mod_rewrite to no immediately fixed the issue. 

Hope this helps someone else!

Sorry I was gone for an extended weekend.

Are you upgrading from 3.4 to 4.1.10?

What browser are you using to test with?

If you test with a different browser what happens?

Are you using SSL?

Please post a link or PM me with it.

I had an issue after the 4.1.10 that gave me hell for a bit with old browser cache and cookies.
