Need help desparately. (Form stopped working - Error Msg)

Post by RJaxon »

I just ran an update from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3 using automatic update. I know there's a 04 out now but I didn't see the package for 02 to 04. So I planned to update to 03 then update to 04 once that was done.

Anyway, I fallowed all the steps. Ran the check in the install and it said:

Update was successful

All files are up to date with the latest phpBB version. You should now login to your board and check if everything is working fine. Do not forget to delete, rename or move your install directory!
But when I go to the forum I get this:
General Error
Conflicting file merge modes are not correctly selected.
You can see it for yourself here:

What can I do? Thanks for any help you can provide. I just released a product and this forum will be used to discuss it. So it's important I get it back up and running.

If I can't get this worked out I am willing to pay someone to fix it if possible. Just need to get it running again. :(

Have you tried deleting all files in your /cache folder except .htaccess and index.html ? :D

Tried it. Saved the files in case I need them again but I deleted them. Still no change.

Thanks for the suggestions.

When you did the update, did the updater replace the files, or did you have to download them and ftp to replace the old?

I tried it the way that it dos it for me first. Then it said there where files that needed to be changed. I forget exactly what it said but some files had a red mark by them (Instead of a green check mark) and it said I needed to replace those files. Then it gave me a link to download the files I needed. Then I FTP them in there.

Ran the check again and it said all was good and the update was successful.

So yes, I had to FTP the files that it gave me in there.

Here are the files it gave me and said I had to load in there.

It almost appears as though perhaps the index.php in the board root was replaced by one in the install folder... I would try first getting a fresh download of the full 3.0.4 and replace the index.php. Then delete all /cache files except .htaccess and index.htm.

It is possible that more of the files were placed incorrectly, but let's try just that first.

I did as you suggested and downloaded the 03 and replaced the index.php and it's working now. Thanks so much for that.

Now I need to upgrade again to 3.0.4. I'm almost afraid to though. I don't know what I did wrong the last time. I thought I had fallowed all the steps exactly as it said to in the "INSTALL" file instruction for automatic update.

Before I do it can someone send me a walk through? I'm hoping that might point out any mistake I might have made the first time. I don't want to loose it again. :shock:

The reason I didn't do the 0.4 before was the link didn't have a "0.2 to 0.4" package. So I figured I should go to 0.3 first then update that to 0.4 because it has a package for that.

Thanks again.
