[omanmoon.net]

Hello

I have vb 3.4.0 PL1 and want upgrade to 4.0.0 but i get this problem.

- I take DB backup.

- Downlode the [vBulletin 4.0 Publishing Suite] from member eara and uplode the .zip file to my website.

- I change the config.php to new information by DBname, user and pass.... and disable Hook by adding [define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);] in the file.

- when try to loggin to /forum/install/upgrade.php i get whait page with this is:

Your vBulletin version does not appear to match with the version for which this script was created (version 3.6.0 Release Candidate 3).
Please ensure that you are attempting to run the correct script.
If you are sure this is the script you would like to run, click here.

- if i try to loggin in /forum/install/install.php it will try to install new vb forum !!

Welcome to vBulletin version 4.0

You are about to perform an install.

Clicking the [Next Step] button will begin the installation process on your database.

In order to prevent possible browser crashes during this script, we strongly recommend that you disable any additional toolbars you may be using on your browser, such as the Google toolbar etc.

How can upgrade

Are you sure you downloaded the vb4 files? I can't read the language on that forum to be able to see what version you currently have running.

Given that you are running a significantly older version of vB, I'd recommend that you do this in two stages:

- Upload the 3.8.4 files then upgrade to this version first
- Once complete, backup your database again, upload the 4.0 files then upgrade again.

Based on your original post (I can see this is a typo now):

I have vb 3.4.0 PL1

Have you previously tested the upgrade of your forum on that domain and database?

Exactly what steps did you take for doing your upgrade from vB2 to where you are now? Did you back up at various stages along the way?

First think you'll need to do is disable all your plugins on your site. it's possible that something else is causing this as the script should recognise that you're running 3.8.4 just now and move on to the next version up from that.

It's not enough put [define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);] in the config.php to disable plugins?
or it's necessary upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.4 Patch Level 2 befor upgrade to vB 4?

[Trevor Hannant]

The best course of action is to uninstall all of them prior to the upgrade as none will work in their current form anyway. There are some that have been updated for vB4 but they will need to be reinstalled after you upgrade.

What happens if you simply carry on (i.e click on the bit in red).
