Hello,
 
After running the update tool I get the following error message when trying to render default.asp on my forums.
 
Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occured while connecting to the database.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_SQLServer_db_connection
File Name:- common.asp

Error details:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Invalid authorization specification
 
I've done this 2 times now.  The update tool says that everything finished successfully.  Not really sure whats happening.   Any help would be appreciated.

Please start a new topic with more details such as if the upgrade tool reported that the database was updated successfully.

Where did they go?  or, does the final version 8 automatically update the old database?

Hi, I just figured out why this error has occured when upgrading from 7.9x to 8.0. There is a new directory named /database in the 8.0 version and it must be modified in order for the upgrade to work.
 
Hi boRg, could you also maybe add a line in the 7 to 8 upgrade kit that "the file in the /database directory must be updated" in order for the version 8 to work"
 
Very nice job
 
Thank you very much

Ok, non DB issue... and I have not tried the upgrade yet.

I have custom images, graphics, and colors which I assume will be lost (or at least have to be reconfigured) when I move from 7.96 to 8... is that correct? Is there a way to overlay those old custom files with the new ones?   

This is not a huge issue in my book just a longer upgrade process if there is no way of doing it.

Most of the graphics and images remain the same, but with some new ones added.

The skins change though a they are now done purely through CSS which allows greater control of the look and feel of the forum.
