Glad to see it is working out for you.

It worked! Thank you! But now I'm getting this error while upgrading:

Duplicate entry '9810' for key 'PRIMARY'
/home/hiper/public_html/forum/applications/core/setup/upg_40000/upgrade.php::1842

I can't post the sql query as the forum keep blocking my post.

Any ideas why this is happening ? (The upgade error not the post blocking)

The upgrade system give me the choice to continue anyway. But Is it safe to continue ?

Line 1842 in that file seems to deal with reports, so it would seem you have a duplicate entry in your reports table somehow. 

One possible reason is that the report it tries to convert has already been converted and something caused it to incorrectly convert it one more time. In which case I think it would be fine to simply click continue to see if that resolves the issue. 

You can paste the query to somewhere like http://pastebin.com/ instead.

Either way, you are an active client. So you should probably send a support ticket to IPS so they can have a look

Thank you for the help.

I just created a ticket.

During the upgrade process form 3.4.7 to the latest 4.x Version I'll got very often a 403 Forbidden error. Did anyone know whats the reason or how I can solve this problem? Normally I had to refresh the site in order to proceed.

A 403 error is usually the page can't be displayed at the time. If a refresh does not work immediately try a hard refresh Ctrl-Alt-Delete and see if that works for you.

I'm trying to upgrade the production board after testing it successfully for 2 weeks.

Does any body have an idea why I'm getting this error:

after I run this on phpmyadmin?

I have restored the DB a couple times, but I'm still getting the same error over and over.

Thanks in advance.

@Woodsman after upgrading all avatars are gone is there any solution for this ?

@Ugur Kaya When you say after upgrading, are you speaking 3.4.x to 4.0?

If so all 3.4.x skin themes, custom skin images, applications hooks or plugins of any form will not work with 4.0.

@HardwareMX After running the quarry did you hit the confirm button? It will or should let you continue from there.

Yes i was speaking about 3.4x to 4.0 i mean profile images (avatars) not any themes or plugins.

Unfortunately even profile images can be effected.

What I had to do here was via ACP - Members Go to each member in the Uploads - Profile directory in the root and add each one at a time.

This was a bit time consuming indeed.

Do you mean uploading the avatars manually ? Can the ips staff upgrade me to 4 ?

Yes they can upgrade and bring over the avatars as well.

And Yes if you decide to do it yourself each will need to be done manually.

Than i will wait for the ips staff but imagine you have 300 k members (which is not my case but) uploading avatars manually can take time.

Tell me about it.... over 300 for me on the local....

I don't understand why there's no fully working tutorial for upgrading to IPS4.IPS has been now out for months and there's still something missing like member avatars.

If memory serves me correctly there was a bug reported a while back...

Being I have not created an actual 3.4 to 4.1 upgrade on my local but only a fresh install I can't say if they fixed it or not.

3.4.8 to 4.0 upgrade

If you renamed your admin folder in 3.4.8, how would you proceed to upgrade 4.0???

Thanks

If you see the guide in forst post you dont need the admin folder to do the upgrade.

So you perform the upgrade and you will have a new admin directory.

Then rename it as you want.

@media You will not need the admin Directory. Go to the bottom of the article and follow the steps in (After creating a 3.4.7 test install and all is working....).

Hello !

First of all, I would like to thank you for the tutorial. I've never made installation or upgrade tests.

My community's database is 9Gb big and my public_html directory is about the same size. What if I create a duplicate website on my server, instead of using softwares like wamp ? I suppose it will be easier ? What should I care about ?

Thank you  :)

Hello @SecondSight 1st You are welcome I'm glad you enjoyed the read.

Yes this article is written to upgrade in both worlds. Localhost via Wamp, Xampp or any other local based webserver. It is also designed to be used for live server tests as well. If you are planning to do the later upgrade it will work just fine.

Have fun testing...

I have done it many times....

I just created a subdomain of my main site and make the test upgrade there ....
