Hi all, I gave an FTP account to a friend to use for picture hosting, and would like to limit the disk space usage to make sure we have space for other needs. How do you do that? I looked in the FTP manager and didn't see anything relevant. Also did a search here and nothing came up. Thanks for your help.

Excellent, thank you. Does that mean my account is still limited to 5GB/month until the disk space upgrade is performed?

Hello all, Just noticed that the Silver Plan is now 850MB / 20GB. That's a tremendous value for $5 a month. However, my cPanel still shows the old 500MB limit. Does that also mean I'm still under the old 5GB monthly transfer limit? Or have all silver accounts been upgraded to 20GB? Thanks!

Going for the clean look. Thumbs Up

Ahh maybe that's it. If I ever have to do this again, and good God I hope I don't, I'll put the board online before attempting a restore.

Whoa ... I deleted the default database, created a new one with the same name, then uploaded the .sql file and it worked. Naughty Now I'm gonna try the 1.2F upgrade ... wish my luck

Ticket # TNX-12830 ... thanks for all of your help I really appreciate it. Thumbs Up

I've got it in the .gz I backed up and unzipped via WinZip to a .sql. I tried restoring both via the phpmyadmin steps you posted but both gave errors. Restoring the .sql gives this: Error SQL-query : CREATE TABLE ibf_admin_logs( id bigint( 20 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , act varchar( 255 ) default NULL , code varchar( 255 ) default NULL , member_id int( 10 ) default NULL , ctime int( 10 ) default NULL , note text, ip_address varchar( 255 ) default NULL , PRIMARY KEY ( id ) ) TYPE = MYISAM MySQL said: Table 'ibf_admin_logs' already exists Back

Yikes ... I"m starting to get nervous ....

I'm over there with you hunting around ...

Yes and yes and it's a working (albeit empty) forum: forums.charlotteriders.com

Agh " Database charlot2_ivbd3 running on localhost Error There is a chance that you may have found a bug in the SQL parser. Please examine your query closely, and check that the quotes are correct and not mis-matched. Other possible failure causes may be that you are uploading a file with binary outside of a quoted text area. You can also try your query on the MySQL command line interface. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem. If you still have problems or if the parser fails where the command line interface succeeds, please reduce your SQL query input to the single query that causes problems, and submit a bug report with the data chunk in the CUT section below:" I went into phpmyadmin, clicked on the database on the left, then clicked on the SQL tab above, then clicked browse, pointed it to my file, and clicked "Go".

Yup ... got the backup ready to go.

Well, that's where I f'ed up then. Mad!!!

Yes, the complete package was FTP'd up. I've already nuked the old install. How do I restore the saved backup database?

No errors, yes I tried it again but it says the new tables are already created.

I'm thinking this may be a skin problem. Can I nuke the current install, reinstall 1.1.2, restore my database, then do an upgrade, without losing all my data?

Here's exactly what I did: "From: 1.1.x To: 1.2 Upload all files as normal from the "upload" directory from your 1.2 download package up to your FTP, overwriting the old 1.1.x board files, except conf_global.php and sm_install.php. In 1.2, the upgrade script is located elsewhere in the package distribution, so look in your download package for a directory labled "otherscripts". In here will be the file upgrade5.php. Take this file, and upload it to where your forums are installed (Where admin.php, conf_global.php, index.php, etc is.) Once you have done this, run upgrade5.php in your web browser by visiting the URL to it directly by typing it into your web browser. Example: http://www.******/forums/upgrade5.php Once you have visited the upgrade script in your browser, you will automatically load the upgrade script's contents. Follow the on-screen instructions all the way through to the end. When you have reached the end, and are done with the upgrade script, go back into your FTP and delete upgrade5.php off of the server. After you have done this, the upgrade is done and you should now be upgraded to 1.2. Upgrade script(s) used: upgrade5.php"

onf_global.php and sm_install.php "Upload all files as normal from the "upload" directory from your 1.2 download package up to your FTP, overwriting the old 1.1.x board files, except conf_global.php and sm_install.php."

Thanks. I followed the upgrade instructions on the IPB website (being careful not to upload the configuration files) and now have this: http://forums.charlotteriders.com/ Ack.

CK, I'd like to upgrade my board to 1.2. I've got my grubby little hands on 1.2 Final, and the upgrade instructions for 1.1.2 -> 1.2. However, upgrading requires that I execute a script on the server. How do I do that without a shell account? Thanks for your help. :Nerd:
