[Closed] --1.3 To 2.0 Upgrade

[Teven]

I was upgrading my forum to Invision 2.0, and of course, I did exactly what it says not to do.
Upload the contents of the unarchived IPB 2.0.0 zip file (all the files in the 'upload' folder EXCEPT conf_global.php. If you do overwrite this file by mistake, you will have to edit it manually to put back in your database details.


Of course, it doesn't say HOW to manually put back the database details. So if anyone could copy the contents of a conf_global, it would be a huge help.

Thanks a lot, I got that working right. But now I've run into another problem. The main page of the forum works, but nothing else does. Rather than directing you to domain.com/forum/index.php, it directs you to domain.com/index.php, which doesn't exist.

[Ed]

did you set the correct value in conf_global.php?

[Teven]

I bet you're referring to

$INFO['board_url'] = '';

No... I didn't fill that out. I'm a moron. Is it too late to change it?

Nope, just edit it again and re-upload. You should have no problem.

[Ed]

when ever there is soemthing wrong in conf_global.php just back it up, and edit the line(s) that need to be fixed. Make sure that you ahve a current back up though, as it is always changing by defualt to the setting your selected in the AdminCP. In 2.0 It makes a back up of the conf_global when modding so if anything goes wrong just rename conf_global-bak.php to conf_global.php and it will work again (with out the mod). So if you ever need to change anything, just edit the conf_global and upload it to the server, you can always edit it when ever you need.
