I am trying to upgrade my forum from 3.3.05 to 3.4.03.
1) I backed up and closed my forum 2) I created another directory for 3.4.03, set the config.asp and ran setpup.asp. Everything updated fine. 3) Then I renamed my /forum directory to /forumold 4) Finally I renamed the temp directory to /forum
Shouldn't this work? I cleared my cache but still the the message that my forum is closed. When I go to login_admin.asp, I get an error message "There has been a problem! You are not allowed access." When I check the Snitz logo, it says I'm running 3.4.03 now.
Any help? Why can't I login as Admin and how do I reopen my forum? I tried running setup.asp after changing the directory names which said Forum setup completed. Then return to forum leads to down.asp.
It appears that old files are remaining at the server. For example, I deleted the entire /forum directory so I could start from scratch. Even though there is no more forum directory, when I use my browser to go to http://www.mydomain.com/forum/default.asp - it says "The forum is currently being upgraded..."
What the heck!?!? I'm talking to my web host now.
It seems when I changed my folder names, there were old 3.3.5 files mixes with 3.4.03. What a mess.
