PLease help me so we can import and after upgrade it .I bought new licence but there is no option to upgrade it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 We do not provide old packages (and it's actually against the license agreement for people to share files). You mention you have a backup. Is this of the database only? Im not sure what you mean by you have no option to upgrade. Please could you clarify what you believe you are missing?

You can upgrade without it. To do so, first install the latest Ipb version, import the database backup and then as last step run the upgrader to bring the database up to date with the latest version. I have done quite several such upgrades and each time without any issues. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim M Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The info provided there is about PHPMyAdmin and PHP, not your Invision Community installation. It is worth nothing that the latest release in our software is 4.7.15. We do not have a 4.8 (yet). Miss_B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to remove the database, otherwise you can't import the backup. Another thing to make sure is that your server meets all the requirements for the latest Ipb version.

paxs Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 when i try to import database to phpadmin is says that tables already exist and stop importing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 If there is anything in that database already it needs removed before attempting to import your backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I would highly advise that you employ someone who is more familiar with the server environments to assist you with this. Based on what you have asked above, you are going to struggle with running this yourself. Have you ever considered our cloud products? It would mean you never have to think about things like this.

paxs Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 (edited) this in path in file manager cp How to type it then ? Edited January 29 by paxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirill Gromov Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 You should create a new php file in the root of your phpbb forum with this content: <?php print_r( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ); then access the file from your browser and you will get the full path to your forum.
