I'm having problems with the upgrade from 6.3.1.1 to 6.7.3. Basically, I've followed the instructions and had to copy the Members/member_test.cgi file into the Members directory as well to avoid it complaining about an invalid Members directory path. It goes all the way to the point where it asks me to register an administration username, which I initially can't as the board is closed.
On a second attempt, I reset the board to its starting state, opened the board, enabled registration, and removed the need for registration to be approved. This time it allowed me to register an administration username, but then clicking on the "continue" link on the setup told me that there was no registered administrator though there were registered members. Looking in the code, it seems that the perms_index.cgi file isn't being populated properly (at all?) by the upgrade.

So, two questions and an observation. Firstly, am I supposed to be able to upgrade the board without having to change the registration settings and re-open the board? Secondly, does anyone have any idea why the upgrade isn't working?
Finally, the upgrade instructions need amending to include the fact that the Members directory also needs to be copied in.

I can't remember ever having to jump through those hoops. I *may* have commented out the check for the membertest.cgi file, but that's a little fuzzy. If I did, the last time was years ago. It really should be going smoother than that.

If you are upgrading you shouldn't have to register an admin account, you should already have one. Are you installing in another location other than what you already had?
