Just two days after 6.1.0.1 was released, 6.1.0.2 is now available to download in the Members Area. We recommend you upgrade right away in order to fix a potentially dangerous bug that has sprung up. Read the official release info for more news of the upgrade.

Well that part is the pain. But you can use a program like Beyond Compare and keep your hacks.

With Beyond Compare it is an easy thing to upgrade as long as Matt keeps telling us what files were altered

Beyond Compare is the coolest utility ever and if it wasn't for it, I'd probably never upgrade lol.

Hey, do you guys think when you make small updates that only seem to be a few lines. Maybe also put a readme in there telling them the exact lines to edit. Just thought it would make it more efficient.

Didn't know there was a 6.05f version... But yes, use the Upgrade zip to upgrade from 6.05.

Go to the Member's area and download the "upgrade zip" and replace your files with the one inside the zip.
Then follow the upgrade doc inside of the zip on what else you need to do.

it is easy until one of the upgrades affects one of the areas that a MOD changed then the problems start! (at least for those of us that are not PERL gurus like our guys)

Isn't it about time hacks were wrote as self installing software! Make it easier for us non tech guys, and it would save everyone hours no doubt!

Can Beyond Compare work for upgrading a 6.04e board to a 6.1.0.2 board? Or has the basic UBB code changed too much for that? I have many hacks installed and I want to have a minimum of fuss when upgrading. Thanks! [ 10-29-2001: Message edited by: Scratch ]

The base code has changed too much as quite a few of the subs were moved around. Not yet... I believe Charles posted a bug-fix in the thread. I'll update the xhtml templates sometime between now and late tonight.

I'm new here. I am now using v 5.7 with a whole load of hacks (ICQ, Whos Online, etc). Will I have to "back out" all those mods first before installing the latest version? (Can I even jump from 5.7 to 6.1.0.2?? ) Advice?

I'm assuming your speaking of 5.47, and if so, yes, you can upgrade to 6.1.0.2... you won't have to backout all your mods b/c the new version will write over all the old files... make sure to read the instructions on infopop's site before going from 5.47 to version 6...

You assume correctly. 5.47d to be exact. Thanks for the reply. I'll check out the info pop info. Basil

Basil if you had ANY hacks at all that added fields to member's profiles run the script that cleans your Member files first. It's in the Infopop Member area. newstrip.cgi I think it was named.
Picture perfect penmanship here.

DJ, you might want to wait on upgrading as many hacks are still in the process of being updated for UBB v6.1.0.2

I'm screwed. I tried to trim my member files with newstrip.cgi and I get this error:
Can't continue after import errors at newstrip.cgi line 12 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at newstrip.cgi line 12.
Now what? I can't upgrade because of the hacks adding fields to my member files and now the program that fixes it won't run!! AARGH!!
Do I have to start clean and have my 2000 members reregister or is there a way to import messages and members from the old to the new version??
Here is the start of newstrip. What is in line 12 that is causing the problem all you CGI literates??

if(!-e $vc && !-e $us) { &StandardHTML("Error", "Sorry, I was unable to find either a vars_config.cgi or a UltBB.setup file.

Make sure it's in your UBB directory, then change the
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
line to read:
use UBBCGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);

I guess they tweaked the install file so it would allow me to install without running the member file trimmer. I'm up to date now and ready to reinstall all my mods! Thanks for the help guys.

Does anyone know if Version 6.1.x will allow NO BACKGROUND's in the message cells (table headers, footers, columns, etc? (I'd like the html page background, a graphic, to show through, but the Style Templates page in Version 6.05 .doesn't allow it.---it requires that an html color be specified...) Thanks eversomuch....

My 6.1.02 is finally installed but it is so slow that it just hangs half the time. I pretty much uploaded nearly every file from a full copy after upgrading to same my members and conferences but it is so bogged down that the pages won't even load.
If I delete vars_config.cgi then refill in the data on the opening screen it will run fast for 5 minutes then bog down again. I even deleted nearly all of the vars files and filled them in one a time but it still hangs after a few minutes. I rebuilt all the stat and forum and member files but it still as like a snail.
Any ideas what the problem is?? THe rest of my site is fine so it's not the servers,

It's just 1 version. With the option to turn on the PHP accelerator.

No only in CGI, but it loads faster when the php accelerator is turned on via Control Panel > Configuration Settings

It's usually best to start new topics in the appropriate forum rather than taking on a post to an announcement that is months old...
