Ok I upoldead files to public html and also to root folder, run install and then installer says it can not find

db-config.php

And I pointed it to the right direction to root folder, but why is it searching for it if I put the old config.php file in the root folder, does it need both files?

Or I just have to rename old config.php to db-config.php

Please answer this, thatnk you Dirk.

And why do I have to put the database name, and username again, if I copied the config file?

THe question is if I have to rename config file or not, because the database fields are not automatically filled with old data from config.php file

Since version 1.5.0, Geeklog requires two small new config files, db-config.php and siteconfig.php (the latter is in public_html). The rest of the configuration is stored in the database.

The old config.php files (of Geeklog and the bundled plugins) are only needed once during the upgrade from a pre-1.5.0 version. After the upgrade, they can be removed.

db-config.php and siteconfig.php are new files and not compatible with the old config.php files. You don't need to edit them - the install script will do that for you.

You only need to enter your db information one more time during the upgrade from a pre-1.5.0 version. Future upgrades do not require that step. And we don't read that information from the old config.php simply for security reasons.

bye, Dirk

I get these errors

Notice: Use of undefined constant on - assumed 'on' in /home3/altermed/public_html/altermedicine/root/config.php on line 851

I only copied config.php from 1.4.1 version and I removed all other old files, and used 1.6.1 files only in public html and root folders

Did I miss anything?

So, is this the exact same config.php that you're using on your live site? Sounds like it has an error in it ...

Line 851 in the original config.php from 1.4.1 was this:
That should be all in one line. Did you accidentally add a line break before the "on" there?

bye, Dirk

I did not touch the file at all. I just opened the site after the error and it works fine I think.

Reuploaded pictures, only the theme needs to be fixed.

But I can not enable forums and captcha, the box is not clickable, can you tell me why?

Wow Dirk, I did not change anything in the theme and it it working, amazing upgrade, the eaisiest upgrade ever, geeklog was the hardest to upgrade, now it is the easiest, congrats dirk!

ONly why I can not enable forum is my question now

It's looking for the plugin's functions.inc file - as long as it's not there, you can't enable the plugin.

Sounds like you didn't copy over all the files yet, so double-check. And in case of the forum, don't forget the lib-portalparts.php ...

bye, Dirk
