Upgrading to a new version, steps please!

I tried upgrading my Vaultwiki to a new version (from 2.xx to 3.xx). I followed the instructions which say upload all the files and run the install.php file. Seems like there is no install.php file in Vault/install/*.*

What do I do?

Capitalization counts. All the letters in the path are lower-case. I just tested downloading from your account and you are getting the correct files. So it is one or more of the following possible causes:

• You are not uploading all the files to your server.
• You are not using all lower-case in the path to the upgrade script.
• Your server is currently configured to send /vault requests somewhere else. If this is the case, you'll need to turn this off while upgrading.

Also, if you are upgrading, then you want to use vault/install/upgrade.php

Its asking for my customer number. I tried putting my license number and Referral Id, but doesnt work

It shows this warning

Code:

---

Warning: require_once([path]/vault/install/install_language_en.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/vault/install/upgrade.php on line 26

Okay it sounds like you are experiencing this issue: http://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/2113/

This was a flaw in our updated download system that we corrected about an hour ago, where checking the option to only download new/updated files was too strict, so you wouldn't get the full install folder. Since most users follow instructions and deleted the install folder after each upgrade, this would be problematic, so we changed this behavior to still give the full folder even when this option is selected.

Sorry for the confusion!

What do I need to do now? Can you please explain me the process for full install again?

I just uninstalled the setup, as i was frustrated after continuous failures. Will the older posts in the Wiki remain? How do I make a fresh installation

Uninstall will remove wiki History and reset user contribution counters, permissions, settings, etc. As always, you can follow the instructions here to perform a fresh install:
http://www.vaultwiki.org/manual/Runn...Install-Script
http://www.vaultwiki.org/manual/Initial-Setup

I dont see an Install.php file in the setup. Please check

Just logged into your account and did some test downloads... the vault/install/install.php file was there every time. Again, make sure you are checking the right directory and that you are entering both the path and file name as all lower-case.

EDIT: Sorry if I was unclear earlier, but you did need to re-download since obviously you did not have the files on your server. As I explained before, they were missing because when you originally installed, the instructions told you to delete them.

downloaded the entire thing again and installed.. the older setup is gone. i still see the earlier topics, and categories, but when i click on posts, they lead me nowhere.. can you kindly suggest something.

Here's a link for your reference

Are the URLs the same as before? If not, you may have to make some adjustments in vBulletin Options > VaultWiki: Server Settings. Also, you may have to go to VaultWiki > Wiki URL Manager > Rebuild Page URLs.

However, it looks like there is an error on your wiki page. Edit showwiki.php and after the copyright info box, put this line:

Code:

---

@ini_set('display_errors', 1);

---

EDIT: Also, by the looks of your Wiki (Home) page, it looks like you didn't re-select the default wiki area after re-installing. It's possible that the "wiki" you are seeing now is just because the forum cache has not been rebuilt.

Ok done
Looks like this..

Code:

---

* http://www.vaultwiki.org/pages/License-Agreement
 *
\************************************************************************/

// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ##########################
@ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192);

if (!defined('VAULT_FRIENDLY_ENTRY'))

Now ??

Go to VaultWiki > Namespace Manager, and click Edit next to your Default namespace. It looks like the Top-Level Forum is not set after reinstalling.

Pegasus, can you please have a look into the admin panel. I would really be indebted. Should I send you the password through a personal messahge?

Yes, you can.

Please check your personal inbox on the forum, sent it

updated the webserver with the /vault/plugins folder. Please proceed to built the Wiki

Done.

Thanks a ton, Pegasus. Really appreciated.
May I change the password now. And id you could let us know things that you observed were wrongly setup, it would prevent us from committing the mistakes again.

1. Try not to uninstall VaultWiki if you simply intend to reinstall it. You lose some data, and syncing up the articles again isn't always easy.
2. I don't personally recommend using + in URLs, this has been problematic in the past, but if you've been using them for a while, you may not want to switch. If you do switch (vBulletin Options > VaultWiki: Server Settings) you'll need to rebuild URLs (VaultWiki > Wiki URL Manager > Rebuild Page URLs).

You can change the password now. You'll notice I created a random extra forum, this can be deleted.

I changed the + sign to hyphen (-) and rebuilt the urls, but its now showing page not found.
