yes... you normally DON'T have the install directory, because after you are done, you will DELETE it for security reasons..

ok thank you

I'll do that now

Well I created the new install directory with netftp because I don't know how to do it with FireFTP

I refreshed and it's still not showing

I might have to wait like 10 minutes for it to show up

Ok, while I'm waiting for the install directory to show up on my FireFTP

I am re-reading the Upgrade Instructions and I don't understand it 100%


Quote:
Connect to your server using your FTP client. Navigate the client to your current UBB™ installation directory.

Upload all files and directories from the unzipped UBB™ directory to the UBB™ installation directory, except for the includes, styles, and cache_builders/custom directories. You will want to upload all of the .php files within the cache_builders directory, just make sure not to upload the custom directory or files within it.


Upload all files from:

C:\ubb\7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\install

To: demongov.com/install


The includes and cache_builders/custom directories

Is not inside my: C:\ubb\7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\install


So I have no idea what you're talking about


I don't understand when and if you are saying from:

C:\ubb\7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\install

or from: C:\ubb\7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\


?

I'm going to take a break and buy some chocolate and get some fresh air

I can't do anything until that directory shows up and until you guys explain this to me, because I have no idea what these Upgrade instructions are talking about.


When is it saying from my:

C:\ubb\7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\install



And when is it saying from:

C:\ubb\7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\

If at all


?

All the files only from?:

C:\ubb\7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\install


Or all the files and directories from:

C:\ubb\7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5

Except for the directories "includes", "styles", "cache_builders/custom"

?

Can I still login as Admin with the Board closed?

The install directory I created with net2ftp is still not showing up in my FireFTP

I'm thinking if I logout and clear the cache that maybe it will show up

Even if it was showing up right now, I still do not fully comprehend the Upgrade Instructions 100% on which files and directories I'm supposed to upload

I Closed the Board at 2:00pm EST and the backup of the Forum and database took 30 minutes

I followed the Instructions on the SQL Backup from my web hosting companies extensive UBB.Wiki page

I know nothing about SQL and never backed it up before but the Instructions from my web hosting company were very good

I started reading the UBB Instructions for the Upgrade at 2:20pm EST

And I still do not fully understand exactly which files and directories I'm supposed to upload

If I was a normal person, I would just quit right now and forget about this Upgrade

But I am going to continue out of spite

I am going to Break the UBB Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time it took to perform a UBB.threads upgrade

It is now 2 hours since I started reading the UBB Upgrade Instructions and I still do not fully understand the Instructions

if the directory hasn't shown up yet, then something's going on. Directories created on the server should show up automatically.

I'm not sure how Fireftp works, but I use filezilla and it's basically drag and drop. You'll see files on your hard drive on the left, and the server on the right, and you just drag everything, except for includes, styles, cache_builders/custom from the left to the right and it does the rest.
