jayc Posted April 12, 2003 Posted April 12, 2003 I am running bbPHP on one of my sites, but decided to give Invision a spin on a new site I put up, mostly because folks here were touting it, and also because I found it in my add on folder. I have it working, but notice that it is 1.01 and the version running here is 1.1. <sigh> I lust for the calendar so I want to upgrade, anyone been through the mill on this one and want to give me some pointers ? Also since this catagory includes 3rd part apps, I was kind surprised to find that there is not a forum for 3rd party apps, sure would make looking for help easier. Jay Quote
TCH-Rick Posted April 12, 2003 Posted April 12, 2003 I just got through upgrading a 1.0.1 board to 1.1.1 and it went very smoothly. Download the latest version from Invision and unzip it to your computer. Be sure and view the upgrade_v101.html file (found in the previous_updaters directory) and follow the directions exactly. The instructions were very clear and the process took less than 10-15 minutes. I was updating a board that I had just installed so it had little data so I didn't back anything up. I would be sure that you are using the default skin before updating. The update will replace the default skin and version 1.0 skins are not compatible with version 1.1 skins. Good luck. Quote
TCH-Don Posted April 12, 2003 Posted April 12, 2003 If your board has a lot of data check out Backing Up the Database to see how to back up and then restore Quote
jayc Posted April 13, 2003 Author Posted April 13, 2003 Rickvz I just got through upgrading a 1.0.1 board to 1.1.1 and it went very smoothly. Download the latest version from Invision and unzip it to your computer. I tried the upgrade route and could not figure out how to configure it to accept my db and user information, so just reinstalled on top of the old system, lost my skeleton forum areas, but I _love_ the calendar. Now if I can just figure out how to upload images to the forum areas. Jay Quote
KevinW Posted April 13, 2003 Posted April 13, 2003 Ricky -- good heads up on the issue of "skins" with v1.1 -kw Quote
tersted Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 If your board has a lot of datacheck out Backing Up the Database to see how to back up and then restore You can also backup and restore databases via your toltalchoice control panel. For me it seems to work easier and better. Quote
