I created a new db and successfully created all tables.
And I clicked /install/upgrade.php , it shows
"This upgrade has been completed. Please remove the entire install directory"

I haven't pointed my old db and run any altertable scripts , why it shows upgrade completed ??

What's the correct steps to upgrade from 7.2.2 to 7.3.1 ?

You'll want to follow this guide.

You don't need to create tables unless you're doing a new install. It sounds like you've chosen the New Install route, since you said it created all tables, which is why it's showing upgrade complete.

In the Peforming the Upgrade document , step 5 :


Does it mean "overwrite" all files in the (7.2.2) directory ?

Yes BUT.....

It mentions file that you DO NOT UPLOAD if doing an upgrade. Completely read ALL the instructions first before doing anything just to make sure you understand the instructions.

Hi,
I've got a question related to this topic.
I have tried to upgrade from 7.2.2. to 7.3.1. two times now, each time I get stuck at the first 'Check Files' screen. I have followed the instructions and overwritten all necessary files, checked the permissions,.. I keep getting the 'Check files' button

Any idea what can be wrong?

I have found this similar problem. But I don't see any url in my config file, without the 'www'..

Is it telling you that there are files that need to be removed or updated at all?

It displays 2 lists, one with new files and one with changed files. No removed files.

You might want to double check the files you are uploading that is in that list. In the top section, you see where it has 2 lines:

// Ultimate Bulletin Board
// Script Version 7.x.x

Since you are upgrading to 7.3.1, you'll want to make sure the 7.x.x says 7.3.1

So, the lists are files that should be there, or are there at that moment?
