TIKUHLA Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I've deleted the old files and folders (as discussed here) and I've uploaded the 4.0.0.b4 files, set permissions but /forums/admin/install or /forums/admin/upgrade are just coming up completely blank. Now I'm wondering if I needed to be on 3.4.7 before trying this beta. Any ideas? ....or anyone do an upgrade like that?I'm going to try upgrading to 3.4.7 first now and maybe try again but I'm still curious about an answer to this....

3DKiwi Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Are you trying to upgrade a live forum? You shouldn't be. Wait until the final release is out if you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIKUHLA Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Are you trying to upgrade a live forum? You shouldn't be. Wait until the final release is out if you are.Yes it is live but it's a small community and the members talked and we want to check it out. Downtime and bugs is expected.I actually just upgraded to 3.4.7 and still getting the same issue. /forums/admin/install or /forums/admin/upgrade are just blank.error_log is showing:[25-Dec-2014 12:40:11] PHP Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /--path_removed--/forums/admin/index.php on line 13 [25-Dec-2014 12:40:11] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /--path_removed--/forums/admin/index.php on line 13 [25-Dec-2014 12:45:40] PHP Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /--path_removed--/forums/admin/index.php on line 13 [25-Dec-2014 12:45:40] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /--path_removed--/forums/admin/index.php on line 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmad E. Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Oh my bad you were talking about the ipb4 upgrade. Thought you meant upgrading to 3.4.7 was also a problem. Does your server meet the IPS 4 requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyF Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 As far as I know it should work with any 3.x version. Special measures are required for those upgrading from 2.x or 1.x (rare I guess though) , having said that it may be easier to do a quick 3x to 347 upgrade first if in any doubt.

bfarber Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Older versions can be upgraded to 3.4.7 first, and then the 4.0 package can be used to upgrade from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimg Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 It will (probably) work, provided you have a bog standard installation currently, no add-ons, standard directory setup, etc.Kind regards, Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
