Install of gamma 6 on our vb 4.2.2 installation

Install fails with fatal error - PM and Settings generate a fatal error also.

When installing gamma 6 on vB 4.4 I encountered a fatal error.

Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch() on a non-object in /home/mb2nawc/public_html/vault/plugins/bbcode.php on line 50

The running installation is affected by this problem with a fatal error in PM and Member Settings functions of:

Code:

Fatal error: Class 'vw_Hard_Core' not found in /home/mb2nawc/public_html/packages/vw/attach/vwcomment.php on line 103

According to our instructions "How to Upgrade to VaultWiki 4" which is linked from the site's forum home page and in a warning in VaultWiki 4's upgrade manual, VaultWiki 3 must be disabled in vBulletin's Product Manager when you run the upgrade process or VaultWiki 3 will interfere with the upgrade/install script.

You can re-enable VaultWiki 3 after installation is complete, but it is not compatible with the install/upgrade script (for the same reason VaultWiki 3 was not compatible with Tapatalk). This was a design flaw in VaultWiki 3 and unfortunately, there is not a way to handle this automatically from VaultWiki 4 without requiring some kind of admin intervention (install a patch on VaultWiki 3 first, etc). The simplest solution is just to have it disabled while VaultWiki 4 installs.

You will continue to receive fatal errors on some pages even though VaultWiki 4 has not finished installing, because vBulletin automatically executes some files if they exist in certain directories. The fatal error occurs because VaultWiki 4 is not actually installed, but vBulletin found the files and wants to run them.

Once you disable VaultWiki 3, return to the install script and click "Continue." When the installation is complete, you can re-enable VaultWiki 3.

I will leave this report open for now, because since refactoring the install script in the middle Betas, it might now be possible to write a work around for this issue within the install script. I'm not sure.

Oops! ignore this I disabled the wrong version. I did not think about both being there.

Once you disable VaultWiki 3, return to the install script and click "Continue." When the installation is complete, you can re-enable VaultWiki 3.

Doing this still displays the error as soon as it tries to build the index.

Fixed in the next build. In vault/core/model/parser/instance/vb3.php, find:

Code:

		$hook = parent::get_hook($hook_name, $registry);

Add after:

Code:

		foreach (get_object_vars($this->_default) AS $property => $value)
		{
			if (!property_exists($this->model, $property))
			{
				$this->model->$property =& $this->_default->$property;
			}
		}

The install succeeded and I re-enabled VW3. I now get the following errors on displaying any page.

Code:

Will your fix above address this?

No, it appears that VaultWiki 3 and VaultWiki 4 cannot be active simultaneously without side effects. If you wish to have both enabled, you should disable autolinks in VaultWiki 4's Wiki Links settings, since VaultWiki 3 is already creating autolinks according to the error you posted above.

Seeing this, I suspect there would be other conflicts with both versions accessing the same BB-Codes, so another option is to just leave the VaultWiki 4 product disabled until you are ready to perform the migration.

Neither system is really designed to work together -- the side-by-side installation was only designed to allow better data failover during migrations, and to give early adopters a means to "down-grade" when VaultWiki 4 wasn't yet ready for production or the migration failed. You can use one or the other by disabling/enabling each one.
