After uploading the files general error::

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'likelihood' in 'where clause'

So I can't install the XML, because the web crashes.

Any help?

<font color="DarkRed">First update the xml-file. Than upload. Otherwise you kill your forum...

Just reupload the 2.4.0 files and update die 2.4.1 xml, than upload the 2.4.1 files.</font>

thank you very much. The upgrade went smooth like the breeze...... I think you deserve a little gift. On its way to you.

Did you update the product?

Nope. The right way to upgrade (any) product is to upload the files in the package (as usually described) and then update the product with the xml file. Eventually you would also close the forums for a minute ;)

And, you would go maybe first to your admin Panel. I believed this was already good practice.

All Beginners Upgrade Guide:

1. Go to your admin panel and login directly. Usually you can do this under any condition: /admincp/index.php.
2. Close the forums
3. Upload the files contained in the /upload/ folder to your forum home (all or just the ones which have changed), making sure they get replaced
4. Upgrade the product with the xml file
5. Open the forums
6. Keep the admin panel open and do some testing :)

hi,how to put the banner under first post?

some hints here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96249

Google finds them all :)

yeah i know.but i need to rotate my banner too. (under firstpost)

I get the same error, following the normal procedure:

• Upload new files
• Import product file (xml) with Overwrite = Yes

Whoa! Closing the forum is not a standard step in upgrading a mod. I don't think I have ever had to do that, and I know I've never had to do it with RBS.

Now I'm beginning to dread this update. Hopefully if I ignore this one the next one will act properly? i.e., just upload the files and run the xml with overwrite.
