Cpanel Phpnuke Is 6.0 How Do I Upgrade To 6.5?

[Mav2u]

Anyone done the upgrade from 6.0 to 6.5? I'm wondering because I have tried it reading the instructions with 6.5 but it does not work. Gives me an error message like this.

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/***omitted by me***/public_html/nuke/upgrade60-65.php on line 39

 

I just placed the upgrade60-66.php file in my nuke folder and tried to run it and this is what I get. That is the only file it said to upload. I'm assuming that is correct but I don't know much about PHP to fix the error or know what it means exactly

 

TIA,

Mav

honestly your better off installing a fresh version of 6.5. Some 6.0 version used splatt forums and some used toms bbtonuke forums, and still others used phpbb. So getting the right upgrade is the key factor.

 

6.5 is easy to install, download it from phpnuke.org and then get the installer here http://nukecops.com/downloads-cat-1.html

 

another thing you might want to download is the analyzer, it will check to make sure you have DB connectivity, it will also let you know if there are any security holes in your code. you can get it here

Yeah, I just had my site all set up with 6.0. I would hate to start all over again. Especially reloading my entire picture gallery. Was 6.0 really that buggy? For such a nice program it sure is a pain in the butt to upgrade. I would think it would be easier than this!

its not buggy, its just a pain to upgrade due to the many different forums used with nuke 6.0

I just put the files on the server, dragged my .htaccess and config.php over from my other one and used the file from nukecops to set it up again after I set the permission on the site to the correct settings. And voila it all worked and I set it up and was done in less the 15 minutes. I'm getting rather good a this PHP setup stuff with PHPbb, nuke, and MT. Using cpanel or straight config I'm learning this stuff quick.

 

I also just used my module for my photo gallery and connected to the same setup. It copied and exact mirror setup over to the new board like nothing was ever wrong.

 

Now I'm done and happier than a pig in a mud bath.

 

Thanks Leezard for the nuke cops site,
