I'm not sure what I've done differently now but I now see an installation progress "upgrading" screen.

regarding php error, i do get: XenForo 2.2.8 Patch 1 - Welcome Your server meets all of XenForo requirements and you're now ready to begin installation. on the previous screen, so I assume I'm good there.

when i navigate to the root after initiating that process, i get: An exception occurred: [TypeError] Argument 2 passed to XF\Mvc\Router::suffixMatchesRoute() must be of the type array, string given, called in /chroot/home/my-site/forums.my-site.com/html/src/XF/Mvc/Router.php on line 253 in...

is there anything else that could be going on? I've tried every that way I can think of. Is it ok to have left the data folder there? It takes a bit to transfer that folder and it looked like it was all binaries/static assets. I've also left the internal_data folder there as it looks like it...

should i be downloading the "upgrade only" package when going from 1.5 to 2.x? That's what i've been doing. Should I be downloading the full 2.x install?

my install-lock file looks like this: <?php header('Location: ../index.php'); /* Installed: Fri, 18 Dec 15 21:09:53 +0000 */

no matter what i try, i keep getting: Verify configuration Your configuration has been verified. You are now ready to begin the installation. XenForo is already installed in your database. Continuing will remove all XenForo-related data from your database! Remove all XenForo-related data...

I don't think it's a problem with the FTP client. It's a common and well respected client. It's just being precise. When it sees that a file already exists, it asks if you'd like to replace that file or skip that upload. If it sees a directory, it asks if you'd like to replace it, merge the...

Great thanks! Weird, it seems to come up here somewhat often because of confusion over this in the upgrade docs: “ Note When uploading files, it's very important that you "merge" files with what's on the server. Some FTP clients may simply replace the contents on the server with exactly the...

Except for the conflicts where FTP gives me the Merge option?

I’ve been FTPing the upgrade files. I’m using Transmit and at each conflict, it gives me an option to skip, merge or replace. Based on the documentation, I choose Merge when that option is available and Replace when there is no merge option. Am I doing that wrong?

I upload the contents of xenforo_2.2.8-Patch-1_xxxxxx_xxxxx_upgrade and then navigate to the /forums/install page. it tells me " Oops! We ran into some problems. You have already completed installation. If you wish to reinstall, please delete the file internal_data/install-lock.php." if i...

I've copied all of my XF 1.5 stuff over to a staging server and that's working great. The DB imports and everything works fine. I've downloaded the xenforo_2.2.8-Patch-1_xxxxxx_xxxxx_upgrade and followed the instructions. When I get to the install page, I am told Oops! We ran into some...

Hello! I have a 1.x forum that I need to move over to a 2.x installation. I've been on fairly expensive managed hosting for years. I've tried to spin up digital ocean servers in the past and find the process a little cumbersome. Laravel Forge looks like a way to take the pain out of that? Has...

ok, thanks!
