Problems upgrading

[steveinid]

I tried to upgrade and am running into this problem:

missing file: .../adodb-db_driver.inc.php

I can't find this file anywhere. Not in the zip file, NOWHERE.

I've tried to reinstall the old version and it still asks for this file. What's up???

Probably one of two things:
1) The config file is not written properly. Do you have a backup of your previous config file? If not, did you run the install again, because you definitely need to do that. After that, check the contents of includes/config.php
2) Possibly other files were not uploaded correctly, or even your FTP program changed the capitalization of one of the file names.

I think it is #1.
The missing adodb file is not the issue. I know, because I have supported this problem several times now. :)

I don't have a backup of the config file.

After all the problems I decided to do this: I deleted everything. I backed up the mysql db but left it on the server since rc4 is supposed to make adjustments.

so, starting from a clean public_html, I re-uploaded all the directory files (rc4) as if this is the first time I had used it. In the install page it said 3 folders/files were writeable. I checked them and they were not. I CHMOD to 777 to make sure. I ran the install and I still get the same problem.

SOOOO, I deleted everything. Database... everything. I re-created the database with the same name and uploaded the rc4 files from the zip file. I CHMOD'd the appropriate folders and file.

This is what I get:

Missing file: /home/lambshea/public_html/libs/adodb/drivers/adodb-db_driver.inc.php

ADONewConnection: Unable to load database driver ''

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/lambshea/public_html/admin/init.php on line 54

I am stumped. I think the next move is to delete the account and recreate it. I'm on a reseller acct.

Sorry you are having these problems. If you want to pm me ftp info db info, I could take a look when I get home tonight.

Thanks,
David

can you take a look at include/config.php and see if you have lines like this (at the end of the file):
Content visible to registered users only.

If they are not present you can create them manually. If the database was not created during the install you can run the installer again (it will read the settings from config.php) in order to create the database.

That worked.

I wonder why those lines of code were missing. :?

I've had that problem a couple of times... it seems that over-writing the old .htaccess file isn't always accomplished properly.. .not sure of a reason for that though - maybe someone else has an idea on this?
