Updating phpBB3 Beta5 to RC1 Tutorial+Script

[Rex Tyrannus]

Hi. I just found this site after realizing phpbb.com had no guide for upgrading a beta 5 board to RC 1 or RC 2. I hope people registering and asking questions right out of the gate is kosher here. If not, flame me. I'm used to it.

Anyhow, I believe I followed all of your instructions in this guide (thank you, btw), but I get the following message when trying to log-in after all is done:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Unknown column 'is_dynamic' in 'field list' [1054]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

This is off the index page and I cannot reference to an is_dynamic field in any of the update scripts. Can anyone lead me in the right direction, please?

Thanks.

Edit: after a long find (bad text editor), I discovered this in root/install/schemas/mysql_40_schema.sql

# Table: 'phpbb_config'
CREATE TABLE phpbb_config (
config_name varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
config_value text NOT NULL,
is_dynamic tinyint(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (config_name),
KEY is_dynamic (is_dynamic)
);

Looks like I could probably just alter the table to look like this? But why did it never get altered by the update script?

The update script has some weird behaviour. I discovered that lots of people are running hte update script, saying there are only a few minor errors, nothing to worry about, then to discover that the script changed next to nothing....

Running the script a few times will (most of the time) create the neccesary tables.....

Well, this time, the issue was user error. I had accidentally managed to point config.php to my old phpBB2 database. I ran the stock update script (in the install folder) using the wrong database. When I fixed that, everything works flawlessly. Thank you very much, and sorry for wasting space.

Hello everybody

I get an error while trying to update my database. It says when I direct my browser to the site: No language found!

Anybody got an idea how I can fix that? Thanks.
