I'm trying to run the auto updater to update from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4... however something in the SEO redirect is preventing it... I'm using a subdomain for the main forum (virtual), but can use the full path in its place:

When it gets to this url:

-www.example.com/forum/install/index.php?mode=update&sub=file_check

it drops back to this (there is a redirect on the webserver side for the subdomain):

forum.example.com/?mode=update&sub=file_check

Not sure what is needed to help troubleshoot, but am willing to copy/paste whatever...

If it helps, I have Advanced 0.4.4 installed

Well, you should only use one domain to interact with phpBB script, it phpBB is configured for the subdomain, then use it to run the update script as well :

Code: Select all

forum.example.com/install/index.php?mode=update

IF this does not work, it means that phpBB is not set properly, make sure you have :

Code: Select all

forum.example.com

as server name,

Code: Select all

/

as script path, and

Code: Select all

.example.com

as cookie domain.

You'll as well need to update the SEO url mod, it's currently running 0.4.8 (two version above yours).

Just did the updates to 0.4.6 (didn't even know 0.4.8 got released ), but can't do the updates for 0.4.8 because of not having the most current phpbb version because of the index.php stripping issue above. Namely functions_constant.php has some edits that I cannot do.

The server path has been set to the subdomain since the forum started up, but I was getting farther along in the install by not using the subdomain, but it still kicks back to root...

Even tried your suggestion in this thread for the code insert in phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php, substituting install/ for path/to/filter/ and still no luck.

So, I'm stuck with an outdated board at the moment.

Here's the htaccess file if it helps

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php forum.php index.html

Have you properly set up the server name et all ?

If so, try to additionally activate the force server url option in phpBB config (same menu as the server name option), it's possible that the phpBB script is tricked by your sub-domain setting.
