Upgrade from 2.3.1 to 2.4.2

I'm about to upgrade from 2.3.1 to 2.4.2 and I'd like some advice before proceeding. The only core files that will need editting are YourAccount/index and the mainfile.

I'm guessing I have to update all the rest of the files.

When I do the install, will it make the appropriate changes to the database? Or do I have to delete some of the old ones?

TIA [/b]

Not trying to be smart-alec, but just follow the instructions Wink

- no other advise is needed.

I can't seem to find "global $setinfo, $user_prefix, $db, $module_name, $pm_login, $prefix;" in the core file "Your Account"....

What version of Nuke?

I'm using 7.7... I found it.. It's weird that BBedit seems to have trouble finding these things..

My mainfile has this

Code:

if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


    @require_once("../../../config.php");


    @require_once("../../../db/db.php");


} elseif (defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


    @require_once("../../config.php");


    @require_once("../../db/db.php");


} else {


    @require_once("config.php");


    @require_once("db/db.php");


}





/* FOLLOWING LINES ARE DEPRECATED BUT ARE HERE FOR OLD MODULES COMPATIBILITY */


/* PLEASE START USING THE NEW SQL ABSTRACTION LAYER. SEE MODULES DOC FOR DETAILS */


if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


    @require_once("../../../includes/sql_layer.php");


    $dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);


} elseif (defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


    @require_once("../../includes/sql_layer.php");


    $dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);


} else {


    @require_once("includes/sql_layer.php");


    $dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);

It doesn't have what's described in the mainfile edit text... Should I just replace the above with what's described in the edit?

If you're using the 3.1 patch, search the forums here for alternate instructions.

I know I'm using some version of chatservs patches. How do I find out if it's 3.1? I've tried searching the forums for alternate instructions and can't find them.

Can anyone point them out?
