I am running JForum 2.0.2 for a long time, really like it. Now I am trying to upgrade it to 2.1.6, to have the uploading images feature.

I have no problem with the new installation of 2.1.6. But when I try to import data from the old database, I can't make it work. What's the normal procedure to upgrade JForum from 2.0.2 to 2.1.6? Thanks!

I guess that you are running on mysql?

In the /upgrade directory in 2.1.6 you will find upgrade scripts. You will have to run all the scripts from 2.0.2 up til 2.1.6 in the right order (2.0.2_to.2.1 first and so on)

:!: Please make a backup of your database first !!!

Also go through the configuration files to see that everything is the way you want it.

I have a copy of JForum 2.1.4, but can't find the instruction for upgrading 2.0.2 to 2.1.4.

I tried to install 2.1.6, then drop the jforum database, restore the running 2.0.2 database, then run a script to modify the database structure from 2.0.2 to 2.1.6 (I write the script by myself by comparing the mysql_db_struct.sql files). But it does not work, no category and forum show up, either in forum index or admin index. But I can see all the users and groups though in admin index view...

I also tried to install 2.1.6, then restore the 2.0.2 database into it, still not working, same problem, no category and forum show up, although I can see all data are imported into the mysql jforum database.

By the way, in your 2.1.4 to 2.1.6 instruction, "merging config file", do you mean modify the 2.1.6 config files according to 2.1.4 config files?

More help please!

Have you tried to configure the permissions again? Admin Panel -> Groups -> Permissions

Arch enemy? I mean, I don't like you, but I don't think you qualify as "arch enemy". Here, try this tiny ad:
