Upgrading vb 5 To Latest Version

Tried to upgrade my vb 5.1.4 lately to the latest alpha 6 and got this error:

"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class vB_dB_Assertor in /home/DFSDS/[url]/core/vb/db/assertor.php on line 18"

What's up with that?

Might check this thread to see if the OP's reply is the same issue you have.

Also google is your friend ;)

Thanks!

What does he mean by this?:

"- solved -

added missing entry "mysql" in core/install/config.php"

He's talking about this line in your /core/includes/config.php file:
$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysqli';

What does your line look like?

I had it blank but changed it to 'mysqli' and now getting this:

"Critical Error

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please check back in 24 hours."

Then change it to just "mysql". It may be that your server doesn't have "mysqli" enabled.

Neither seemed to fix the problem unfortunately.

Enable debug mode on the frontend and you will get a proper error message instead of just the "Critical Error".

I'm posting this in this old thread since Google refers to it when googling the "Cannot declare class vB_dB_Assertor" error message.

This problem just happened to me too (on a local XAMPP install on Windows, with PHP 7.3.8 and MariaDB 10.4.6), and the solution above worked for me, i.e. to change:

Code:

$config['Database']['dbtype'] = '';

to:

Code:

$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysqli';

in the /core/includes/config.php file.

For some strange reason, the installer's first stage fails to fill in this value, which in turn cause this critical problem. Very strange?!
