I've tried many times, differents tweaks, same results: not working.

As read in  another thread I've modify the file growth factors to 30% to help the upgrade process that was giving too many errors.

Here's the results:

Your Database is being updated. Please be patient as this may take a few minutes to complete.

Stage 1: Creating New Database Tables and Fields..... 

Error Altering the Table tblThread 
Query timeout expired.Complete

Stage 2: Entering default values for new fields..... Complete

Stage 3: Migrating forum configuration settings to new format..... Complete

Stage 4: Migrate Post Count to new Point System (this may take some time to complete)..... Complete

Query timeout expired

SQL Server database is updated, but with Error!






The forum homepage works fine
The forum threads list works fine

The forum_posts.asp don't work

URL: http://www.progarchives.com/forum3/forum_posts.asp?TID=86452&title=is-the-first-prog-album-usually-the-best

Here's the error:

Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occurred while executing SQL query on database.
Please contact the Forum Administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_SQLServer_get_topic_posts_data

I am going to tweaks more, I just read this reply, I did not know about the log file too.

The problem is that when it tries to add the new fields to the Thread table is that if there is not enough space to complete the operation the database will not return an error, so it looks like the upgrade has gone through correctly.

If you have a large database you need to make sure you have at least 25% space for your primary file group and that your log file is at least 50% the size of your primary file group.

The database can be shrunk after the upgrade but adding extra fields to a large table like the Thread table that holds all the posts will need allot of temporary space to add the extra fields.

If there is not enough space to create the new fields in the thread table due to the database not returning an error the first you will know is when you try and view a post, it will not display, exactly like what you describe.

No.

Still not working after:

- Setting the DATA file at 10GB (from 4GB)
- Settting the LOG file at 10GB (from 3.5GB)

and there is enough disk space.

???

Your database is to large to be updated on the client side and you would need to update the tblThread table manually on the database server.

ALTER TABLE tblThread ADD Answer bit not null default 0

ALTER TABLE tblThread ADD Thanks int not null default 0



After running the automatic upgrade script you provided with the ZIP.

By the way, you should use Cdbl instead of Cint in most part of the code, everytime I upgrade I need to do it myself ;-)

We had this issue too - but we downloaded v9.74 and upgraded to that first, THEN repeated the exercise to upgrade to v10.11, like yourselves a direct upgrade always fell over during test upgrades
