Upgrade to 3.0.9 will not run upgrade.php

[asarian]

O, for crying out-loud, I had *already* upgraded to 3.0.9!! A week or so back, when there were intermediate fixes for 3.0.8. Now, with the announement of 3.5.0, I had completely forgotten that I already...

I *did* upload a patch for 3.0.8, btw, as per your team's recommendation, described at:

No, seriously, ALL files have been uploaded/overwritten. This is a procedure I have done many times before, and always without a problem.

Checking upgrade.php, I see upgrade20.php is supposed...

Ok, so I upgraded to 3.0.9, from 3.0.8, and ran install/upgrade.php, as usual. But instead of starting the usual upgrade steps, upgrade.php goes directly to the Control Panel. What is happening? Is does...

Steve has been most correct, actually, in explaining the problem. He really is right about this. It is clearly a mail client problem, and has nothing to do with Vb.

I myself would prefer to restore the database on a shell prompt; you never know what permission problems you might run into via PHPMyAdmin; but both should go well ("–p NEWDBNAME" seems odd,...

Seems like a pretty crappy host to me.

For starters, if they got their business in order, no script of yours would ever be able to "crash" their server. What a load of non-sense....

I'd get rid of all those unactivated accounts, without much ado. Seriously. Because nothing is lost, really; they haven't posted yet, so you risk to lose no data at all.

Also, if it took...

Never mind whether includes/functions_forumlist.php was on the old server: it needs to be on the new one now! Like I said, just grab the latest tarball from the members area (3.0.6), untar/unzip it,...

There should be, at

includes/functions_forumlist.php

If you upload everything under "upload" in the distribution, it really should be there.

It is kinda hard if you do not have access to php.ini. Otherwise, you might set your...

I have seen this error before, actually; but it is usually associated with server config error (not the kind upgrading vB could cause), or a permission problem after all. Or "nobody" is no longer...

[asarian]

Are you saying it worked BEFORE you upgraded? In that case, you can rule out any number of permission problems. Also, what is your sendmail_path exactly? Mine is something like:

Ben,

On your old board, you could do this:
