I tried to run the beta upgrade tool and it failed saying it can't find a bunch of tables?  Is there any other way to upgrade to the newest forums other than using the Beta Upgrade tool? 

Can someone please post a link on a step by step upgrade to the newest forum?

Thanks,

Beta upgrade tool!!

There isn't a beta upgrade tool that I know of, but there is an 7.x to 8.x upgrade tool available on the forum download page.

With the upgrade tool there is also a step by step guide on how to upgrade your database, but if you have made any modifications to the database these first need to be removed.

Such anger….  :0

I did a few searches but due to my limited time I thought I would post.. 

The reason I said it was in beta test was the following sentence on the tools main page?


“Please Read!!
This tool is in beta testing and should NOT be used on production web servers or live database.”


So with that being said I ran through the directions step by step with the tool and I get the following errors listed below.  If you could explain any of them I will make the changes and do a full upgrade. 

There have been no custom modifications of the database.

Actually all the errors have to do with the following “because this table does not exist in database”  ?

Here is an example?

Error Updating the Table tblwebwiz
Cannot alter table 'SQ900.tblwebwiz' because this table does not exist in database 'webwiz'.

I will see if my ISP will give me Enterprise Mangement access to look at the tables:\

How are you getting this.

There is no table called tblwebwiz and nothing called SQL900.

Are you making some strange modifications or have you changed the table prefix?

webwiz   =  SQL Database Name
SQL900   =  The SQL User Name

This is automatically picked up from the front page of the migration script when I put in my SQL server name, SQL User, and SQL Password. 

Does this make any sense at all

Let me know.

Thanks,
