Failed To upgrade!

[arshadeomran]

Hi there,

With shame,we had a nulled/cracked version of vbulletin software in past ; and we have thousands of users,posts and topics inside.
Now that we've bought a vbulletin license ,we wanted to upgrade our vbulletin to latest orginal version of vbulletin (4.2.2 patch level 4 i think) .. But we have encountered an error as following :

Fatal error: vbulletin datastore cache incomplete or corrupt in
[path]\includes\init.php on line 252

We also tried to solve this problem using rebuild bitfields option via tools.php file,but unfortually the problem remains ,,

We need your technical help asap.
Thanks.

run repair on the table and the init.php file delete it and when you upload all files it will replace it with a new one

From line 242 to 255

$vbulletin->datastore = new $datastore_class($vbulletin, $db);
if (!$vbulletin->datastore->fetch($specialtemplates))
{
switch(VB_AREA)
{
case 'AdminCP':
case 'Archive':
exec_header_redirect('../install/install.php');
break;
case 'Forum':
default:
exec_header_redirect('install/install.php');
}
}

What did you do exactly, did you upload the new vbulletin files then run the install/upgrade.php script? From the line number of that error message, it looks like you still have old vbulletin files on your server.

When you did "rebuild bitfields" did you get any errors?

Off topic posts removed. This thread was started to discuss the upgrade problem mentioned, not to debate other issues.

In your /includes/config.php file, what does this line look like:

// $config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Filecache';


Is it commented out like that? If not, comment it out right now.
