Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 2, 20159 yr Hello,Everybody speak about the 4.03, but what does it means exactly ? Are you speaking about the board, or about the apps ?In my case, I don't use the board. I use IP.content, the gallery, the blogs and IP.download. May be these apps are not already adapted to the 4.03 ?So, what happens if I do the upgrade right now, not only for the board but for all the community suite (except nexus) ? Regards
May 2, 20159 yr All the apps are updated at the same time to avoid the potential confusion previously (where we had say board 347 and content 246 etc) , so regardless of which apps you're using if you head over to the Client Area you should see the latest versions of all of them with the same number.In other words there should not really be a situation where you have say core 401 and gallery 402 etc.
May 2, 20159 yr Author Ok, thank you AndyF. Currently, I run the 3.4.6 version.Is it more prudent to upgrade first to the 3.4.7 before the 4.0.3 or is it possible to upgrade directly from the 3.4.6 to the 4.0.3 ?
May 2, 20159 yr Author Well, it's pretty ridiculous, but I don't remember how to do the upgrade...I mean, I upload the files of course, but do I need to edit something before in init.php of conf_global.php , for instance ? **edit**well, according to this page, I don't have anything to do except to upload the files. http://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/getting-started/install-and-upgrade-r8/
May 2, 20159 yr Better go first to v3.4.7First at all backup your database, and if it is possible also your files!!!Then you have to upload files and run mysite.com/admin/upgrade/index.php and then follow the instructions and give the information and you will have v3.4.7 installed...
May 2, 20159 yr After upgrading to 3.4.7 you might want to run the requirements checker for IPB 4As has been mentioned make sure you backup database and files before doing anything else
May 2, 20159 yr Author Too late, I'm sometime a kamikaze and the 4.03 files are currently rushing straight ahead on my host, launched directly from the 3.4.6 version. I'll tell you the result in a little moment...
May 2, 20159 yr Author Well, of course I get this : An error occurred (500 Error)We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later.
May 2, 20159 yr Well, of course I get this : Hope you made backup of files and database then ... at least can go back and site will be workingThen perhaps get IPS to upgrade for you ?
May 2, 20159 yr Author I've done a database backup this morning, yes. I didn't save the files however, but what for ? Oh yes, there some pdf in IP.download... Well it's too late anyway. Not a very professionnal way to work I agree, but I'm confident enough in IPB.
