Woodsman Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I think i am going to upgrade to 4 at last.. Is this the topic to consult? We have been doing it all along so you are welcome to join in. And if it is why they don't merge it in official upgrade articles? I am not a staff member here at IPS and I wrote this to be more of a Member's 1 on 1 help article.

B_U_R_I Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've been searching but I wasn't succesful yet, so I decided to ask here...Does anyone know if there is a tutorial on how to create a fresh install of 4.0 and the import the 3.x database into the fresh install? Can that even be done? I'm just not successful with this test install, so I decided to go at it from a different angle, since most of the things I have in 3.x won't work in 4.0...

B_U_R_I Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'd like to have a working test site on 4.0 before doing an actual upgrade. I'm not an expert but I can manage a few things here and there - but I am well aware that things might go wrong (for many reasons) and I just want to see if I can upgrade a test site before doing it on my live one. I managed to make a copy of my 3.x site, but when upgrading - this happened. This is one of the reasons I'm doing this on a test site and not on a live one I tried contacting IPS, but they don't support test installs in any way... Since I can't upgrade the 3.x site, I am trying to do a workaround by making a new 4.0 install and just importing everything from 3.x (basically it's just a community forum with a news feed on the frontpage... - so it shouldn't be that complicated to import)...

tsincaat Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) I'm having this same problem. I've tried 3 or 4 different paths for upgrading, followed this guide with a local version of my site in WAMP and still have the same issue. Re-downloaded the latest IPB4 version. At this point the only thing that immediately comes to mind is that on my 3.3 install I had IP.Content, and I didn't renew IP.Content for 4, so the upgrade doesn't include that. EDIT SOLVED: I've had this problem for 3 or 4 days. Literally a minute after submitting this, I go to IPS Support, the little tooltip says to try the support tool in the AdminCP. I try that, it says there might be corrupt cache data or something, and it clears that. And... my test site is working.

invisiblekid Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Has anyone performed an upgrade to IPS 4 from a site where IP.Content is the homepage? I have a site running, which is configured as follows: https://www.invisionpower.com/support/guides/_/ips-community-suite-apps/ip-cont/make-ipcontent-your-homepage-r273 I've run through the upgrade and reconfigured the site as follows: https://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/administration/pages/using-pages-under-your-community-root-r100/Index.php and .htaccess sit in /public_html IPS4 installation is in /public_html/forums/However the problem I have now is that all my CSS and Javascript links to www.sitename.com/forums/forums/uploads/javascript... The site works functionally and I can navigate it, but I'm just not sure how to resolve the links. I've run through the support request system which clears various caches without luck.I've logged the issue with IPS Support, but from reading this thread it doesn't seem likely they will help out given it's on a test run. That's extremely frustrating if true as there is no way I'll perform a live upgrade if I can't successfully test using a dry run. EDIT: IPS support just resolved the issue. Top work guys!!

DevNTG Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I upgraded my tables to UTF8 and when I tried logging in with my existing admin account to continue the upgrade, it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimg Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I upgraded my tables to UTF8 and when I tried logging in with my existing admin account to continue the upgrade, it doesn't work.Which utf-8 version?I found there is a problem with key-length in 3.4.x tables when you upgrade to the extended utf-8 version (utf-8 mb4?), causing significant problems in 3.4.x.I'd suggest upgrading only a copy. Creating a copy, on a different domain, or even just a different directory, you can do by following the instructions I provided a while ago. I just found it again, here it is:https://community.invisionpower.com/topic/408977-moving-or-copying-an-invision-community-suite-34x-installation-to-a-new-site-or-new-path/Kind regards, Wim DevNTG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it was UTF8, not UTF8m4 but I might be wrong, as your explanation seems about right. But regardless, it's something IPB should take care of.
