Bug in Upgrade from 7.04 to 7.05

All went well in the upgrade until I got to the last section after running the script ("IMPORTANT!") and the "Recompile Orca Forum language file from admin panel -> Modules -> Orca Forum -> Manage Forum."

At this point I had not yet installed Orca in 7.04. It seemed most sensible to therefore "Update" before recompiling it.  So I updated. then recompiled. Then tried to install it and got the following error:

Installation of: Orca Forum Failed -- Check the Dolphin version for compatibility: The module is not compatible with your version of Dolphin script

I also tried the same process for the other modules that I had not yet installed and got the same "not compatible" error on each module.

Please promptly advise how to get out of this "not compatible" error and complete the update (without having to "reinstall").

Thank you.

Did you do the required change in header.inc.php in the inc colder? Where you change the version of Dolphin you have?

Make sure your /inc/header.inc.php file's version information has been changed to the version you upgraded to.

Edit: Hello, Day.

agree I thing he miss the last step

Thank you for your reply. I followed the  instructions step by step up to the point where I encountered this problem. Up to this point there was no instruction do a required change in header.inc.php in the inc colder to change the version of Dolphin you have. This is my first time upgrading a Dolphin version and I saw no instructions to do that, so, respectfully, how would I have known to do that? Maybe that instruction needs to be written for newbies like me in the instructions.

Any way, I found the header.inc.php file and opened it to edit it. To make sure that I am making the right change and in all the right places, do I just change "4" to "5" in the lines that I have copied below?

$site['ver']               = '7.0';
$site['build']             = '4';

Should that then solve the problem?

After making this change, do I then choose Orca and "Update" and then "Recompile" and then "Install" or should I use a different order?

Thanks,

Steven

Hi SCEthridge!

Please chante to this

$site['ver']               = '7.0';
$site['build']             = '5';

Okay, I see that updating the header.inc.php instruction is BELOW the step where I encountered the problem. I was just following the steps in order. I made the change from 4 to 5 in this file and Orca and all of the other modules installed great and the version reads 7.0.5 in the Admin panel.

Now I am unclear about the following instruction. I see the /flash/modules/chage/xml file but no /xml/config.xml. Please clarify.

Set permissions for the following files:

chmod -v 666 ./flash/modules/chat/xml/config.xml

Once I find the /xml/config.xml file, do I edit Permissions 7 5 5 to Permissions 6 6 6? I do not know what the string"chmod -v666 in the following instruction means.

chmod -v 666 ./flash/modules/chat/xml/config.xml

chmod -v 666 ./flash/modules/chat/xml/config.xml

That file is there. You need to change its permissions as specified.

Edit: Yes, you change it to 666. The command is for those using SSH, but you can change file permissions through your hosting account's file manager or a FTP client.

Opps, please excuse. I found the /xml/config.xml file. Permissions were  664 I will change to 666 and hope I did that right.

I completed the steps and everything appears to be working okay.

Thank you for your help!
