XF 1.2 Botched FTP upload. Trying to connect to existing DB

[Joshua]

So I screwed up when I was trying to use Transmit for my FTP client. I didn't have Transmit "merge" the upgrade package and it instead "replaced" directories. I'm re-uploading the full 1.2 XF install package but how can I bypass the setup stages and connect to the existing and un-changed database?

You'll need to set up the config.php again. Using your old settings will automatically pick up the database.

 

[Joshua]

OK, that's what I thought. I'll just go in and manually edit the config file so no installation processes are initiated

What version were you trying to upgrade from and to?

 

[Joshua]

1.1.5 to 1.2

 

[Joshua]

config file has been updated.
Index still says "The board is currently being upgraded. Please check back later."
/install/ Wants to begin installation and wipe the DB.

Now what?

 

[Joshua]

Replaced install-lock file in internal_data
Still "The board is currently being upgraded. Please check back later."

 

[Jeremy]

Have you entered the install system and run the upgrade?

 

[Joshua]

How can I run the upgrade aside from going to /install/?
When i go to /install/ it says "You have already completed installation. If you wish to reinstall, please delete the file internal_data/install-lock.php."
I'm stuck in a loop.

Does that mean you think I should re-upload the files?

The forum index says "The board is currently being upgraded. Please check back later."
The /install/ (or upgrade) folder says "XenForo 1.2.0" and "you have completed installation..."

 

[Jeremy]

Can you PC me admin details and the link to your forum so I can get a better look into this for you?

 

[Joshua]

I appreciate the offer, @King Kovifor but I got some help from a friend. The site is back up though it looks like I may have to re-install add-ons...

 

[Jeremy]

If you connected to your database, it's most likely just reuploading files.

 

[Joshua]

You were right! I reuploaded the add-on files, disabled and re-enabled them and we're back up and running. What a headache for a couple hours
