From a local stand point try moving those image files still in your "public folder" and move them to your "uploads/emoticons/" then change those urls of the broken images to reflect to their new location.

As for the workstation localhost situation you are correct and they most likely thought this test site may be on a closed hosted site. This is what I thought until the word "workstation" caught my eye.

 If you are using a drop down box you can also do it this way.

<span class="ft">{title}:</span><span class="fc">{content}</span><br />

try the 2nd method without the "href"

Try something on this example.

<center><img src='href="http://localhost/your-install/images/option_{key}.png'></center>

I think I did this wrong....

try it this way instead....

<center><img src="http://localhost/your-install/images/option_{key}.png" alt=""></center>

Hi guys, thanks so much for the help! Support also confirmed this: It so happened that there was a 'constants.php' file in the main directory that had the 'admin-dir' reference. I replaced it with 'admin' and everything went smoothly! The upgrade from v3.3.0 to 4.3.3 worked! Again thanks ?

Glad to see you got it going ?

As Nathan has pointed out start out by verifying that the admin directory is still intact in your old 3.3 version. If not you will need to locate the changed file. 

Then try reversing these steps

Renaming the ACP "admin" directory

IP.Board has a dedicated directory for the administration center. To further enhance security, you can rename this ACP directory. Step 1: First, you'll need to physically rename the directory. Connect to your server via FTP and then browse to your IP.Board directory (this is the one that has your index.php file in it). Locate the 'admin' directory. Choose 'rename' from your FTP client menu and rename it to whatever you like. Step 2: Create a file called 'constants.php'. Download it, open it in a text editor, and paste the following contents.   <?php define( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'admin' ); Replacing the admin with your directory name. Your ACP directory has now been renamed.

 Now I have never had to do this but it may work for you...

From the main directory locate the new directory and rename it back to admin then rename the constants.php file to contants-old.php to disable it for now. 
At this point I would then go back to the front end and see if everything was working correctly. If so then retry the upgrade.

Have you tried 4.2.8 with its converter? I tried here on my local and it worked for me.....

Yes you are allowed one test site with your license. This test site has to be offline to the general public.

I'm getting closer and closer to feeling ready to do this.

There's a lot of info in this thread. Is there a post I should be looking for that compiles most of it, or should I make sure to go through all 20 pages? 

My biggest area of need is a tutorial to convert myISAM tables to Innodb.

The first page of this article should get you on your way just fine. Remember though to always make a backup of both your site and database just in case anything goes south on you.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Do not try this tutorial , you will kill your board 

Another thing that strikes my funny bone..... This is the only comment from you in 17 pages and not one saying you were in trouble or asking for help.

What didn't work for you?

For so many this tutorial was very helpful and a small few had trouble.
What is more curious are those who missed a step or just thought some steps were unnecessary ended up in trouble.

Funny -

is there any checklist or advice on what ACP settings to double check after the upgrade to V4 ?

In the beginning of the up grade there is a check list showing pass, fail or FYI.

Unfortunately previous 3rd party 3.4.x Skin themes, Mods, Hooks and Applications will not work with IPS 4.0 and above due to the new framework.

You will need to contact the 3rd party developers and designers to see if what you need has been upgraded.

PHP setting suhosin.max_vars is set to . This can cause problems in some areas. We recommended a value of 4096 or above. You should contact your hosting provider or system administrator to ask for this to be changed

I do not use suhosin on my test sites but this seems to be another issue you have on this test site. Whether this is directly related is unsure so I think you  may need to contact your hosting provider about both errors.

Thank you, I`ll do it when I get access to phpmyadmin. Now I can`t open phpmyadmin and my community site because of 502 and 504 error

At this point it sounds more like a sever issue getting the same errors

Google search "convert myisam to innodb"

Read this one for starters for doing multiple optimizations at once. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3856435/how-to-convert-all-tables-from-myisam-into-innodb

What is it showing you in your conf_global.php?

$INFO['mysql_tbl_type']  = 'MyISAM';
$INFO['mysql_tbl_type']  = 'InnoDB';

Hello!

 

Troubles again. Now my community is down because Error 502 and 504.

Hosting support says it is because very hard queries to MySQL like it:

 

SELECT main.* FROM `ibf_core_search_index` AS `main` FORCE INDEX(`index_date_updated`) WHERE ( ( index_class IN('IPS\\core\\Statuses\\Status','IPS\\core\\Statuses\\Reply') ) OR index_class='IPS\\forums\\Topic\\Post' OR ( index_class IN('IPS\\calendar\\Event','IPS\\calendar\\Event\\Comment','IPS\\calendar\\Event\\Review') ) ) AND ( ( ( index_class IN('IPS\\core\\Statuses\\Status','IPS\\core\\Statuses\\Reply') ) AND index_is_last_comment=1 ) OR ( index_class='IPS\\forums\\Topic\\Post' AND index_is_last_comment=1 ) OR ( ( index_class IN('IPS\\calendar\\Event','IPS\\calendar\\Event\\Comment') ) AND index_is_last_comment=1 ) ) AND ( index_permissions = '*' OR ( ( FIND_IN_SET(9,index_permissions) OR FIND_IN_SET('m14842',index_permissions) ) ) ) AND index_hidden=0 AND CONCAT(index_item_id,index_class) IN(SELECT DISTINCT CONCAT(index_item_id,index_class) FROM `ibf_core_search_index` AS `sub` WHERE index_author=14842) ORDER BY index_date_updated DESC LIMIT 0,25
+----+--------------------+-------+-------+---------------+--------------------+---------+-------+-------+------------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |

| 2 | DEPENDENT SUBQUERY | sub | ref | author_lookup | author_lookup | 4 | const | 12521 | Using where; Using temporary |
+----+--------------------+-------+-------+---------------+--------------------+---------+-------+-------+------------------------------+
2 rows in set (2 min 54.08 sec)

 

It lasts about 1 min, and other queries not run in this time.

Support says I must "optimize queries" and change tablet type to InnoDB.

What can I do now?

It appears the converter did not compete all tasks. Did you run this tool before upgrade from 3.4.x? https://invisionpower.com/files/file/6823-ips-utf8-database-converter/

2. If I press magical "block management" arrow, I see only few "system" block. No forum block, etc. Then, I try to uninstall and install again Calendar app, and here it is: calendar blocks is present. Question: can I uninstall and install again Forum app? Is it safe for my content? Or, there is another way to "restart" apps? Thanks a lot.

Hello!

Please help me guys.

Just starting ipgrade to IPS4 and... upgrade page not loading, HTTP error 500

What I doing wrong? 

Here it is: http://www.olgino.info/forum/admin/upgrade/

 

Thanks!!

When I went to your link I saw no error. but what I do see is the login screen to the upgrader.

I'd throw you a screen shot but I am still reinstalling all applications after a system melt down.

So give it another try is all I can give at the moment

I have not had this issue even with the many board upgrades on my local.

What are you able to see from the ACP view? http://yoursite.com/admin/

Are you able to see the ACP properly?
If so Go to System - bottom find Support. Look for "What do you need help with?" then then the radio button "Something isn't working correctly." then click continue.
Does this help?

2nd question - What version of IPS 4.1.x are you installing?

What version of php is installed on the server?

IPS 4.1.12.x needs the php version of 5.5 or greater to work properly

If I am reading this correctly you have already successfully performed the migration to IPB 3.4.x?

If so the changes have been made and you are running a fully functional IPB version of your board at this time?

IF your answer to both questions are yes then You can create a backup copy of both your forum site and database preferably to a test site.
Perform and test the upgrade on the test site first. This way if anything goes haywire your live site won't be affected.

Am I correct in saying that the 3.x 'public' folder can be deleted once the upgrade to 4.x is complete and all of the background tasks have completed?

Yes the public folder can go after the 3.x to 4.x upgrade.

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.

I agree this is unusual and needs looking into.
