Upgrade To Phpbb 2.0.17

[waynemac]

Greetings all,

 

I got the upgrade or lose it email today.

Went to cPanel but cant upgrade...

"Sorry, you must specify a directory to install or upgrade!" so am doing it manually...but...

 

When I try to extract the .zip file I get...

"phpBB-2.0.17-files.zip

File Type: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract

Archive: phpBB-2.0.17-files.zip"

 

Ummmmm, any ideas on what to do, before opening a ticket?

 

Regards, Wayne

Did you upload then are trying to extract in filemanager

or just trying to unzip on your computer?

 

Don't forget to change back to the sub-silver theme first.

Then use the changed files update.

[waynemac]

Don thanx for the reply.

 

Actually, this is the second time Im posting this reply. The first one disappeared after I logged out...hmmm.

 

Anyways, I uploaded the .zip to root at TCH and even changed the permissions to 777 but no go on extracting it.

 

Even today I get this message...

 

"phpBB-2.0.17-files.zip

File Type: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract

Archive: phpBB-2.0.17-files.zip"

 

Maybe I should submit a ticket?

Yes if filemanager cannot extract a standard zip file

then open a help desk ticket to the techs.

[waynemac]

Don, thanx.

 

Opened a ticket and the techies unzipped it for me.

 

Thanx, Wayne

Wayne when you click on a zip file name (not the icon) in file manager

do you see a menu at the right

with an option to extract the file?

[waynemac]

Don, thanx always.

 

Yes, I see/saw the extract option. I found that by recompressing it to a tgz I could then extract it TCH side.

 

Managed to get things 99% complete except for a strange line of code at the top of the website saying...

 

session_start(); if (isset($_GET[hide_header]) OR ($_POST[hide_header] == "true")) { $_SESSION[hide_header] = TRUE; } if (!$_SESSION[hide_header]) {

 

I see it in the source file but cant find where its generating from backside.

 

I also opened a ticket with the tech crew and they were of help too.
