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? ------------- Just trying to have some fun and learn in the process. http://www.lodogg.com - Come have Some Fun |

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. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

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!! 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 I will
see if my ISP will give me Enterprise Mangement access to look at the tables:\ Thanks, -lo ------------- Just trying to have some fun and learn in the process. http://www.lodogg.com - Come have Some Fun |

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? ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

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, -lo ------------- Just trying to have some fun and learn in the process. http://www.lodogg.com - Come have Some Fun |
