[CMS] Help needed upgrading!

[Pathum]

I am following this post to create a test site.... https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...-your-live-one


As described in step two, when I am going to change the path to save cookies I have a trailing slash (/) as the path... now to what should I change it?



#------------
# STEP TWO:
#------------

In your vB Admin Control Panel (ACP)

vBulletin Options > Cookies and HTTP Header Options > Path to Save Cookies

Make a note of the existing setting (for example mine is set to: /myforums/ )

Then change the setting to:

/

> click on SAVE

You should be fine just keeping it at '/.'

OK, thanks... now going to upgrade

[Dustin L.]

No problem. If it doesn't work, you can change the setting in the ACP after it's done.

I have created the backup.sql in the root. But it has 0 bytes files size... what I am doing wrong here???

[Zachery]

Can't tell you what you're doing wrong. But try using this instead: www.mysqldumper.net

Also, if for some reason you're on godaddy, consider a new webhost.

[Pathum]

Nope .. I am on Hostgator....

You need to make sure that you are uploading it properly to the right place.

[Zachery]

backing up is not something we actually provide support for. Contact your webhost for more help.

[Pathum]

Thank you! This seems a reasonable answer!
