French forum - 30.000 members - migration 3.8.2 -> vb5
 

Hi,


This is an offline migration on a spare server willing to go from 3.8.2 in French to 5.0.0b21 in English.


For now, I installed VB5 sucessfully, tested post creation, language translation, style applied.. all ok.
Willing to have the old DB, I just updloaded the DB to a new one and changed the DB config.php files.


As a result, it launched then the upgrade.php script which was intended.


Then, at one step, upgrade 4.0.0 alpha xx it now stops and shows :


Code:
Action Required
Unexpected Text:


Impossible de créer le répertoire de système de fichiers pour recevoir votre fichier attaché.
What I noted for any roll back (there is no prod downtime right now as this is just a test)
- Checked onfig.php: not seeing many problems there.
- Apply a 755 mask on the whole structure below the www root.. : on going may end in minutes..

I also noted for the future migration that I should switch to English before any import task to make error messages a bit more correct..

Would you have any idea ?



Thanks
Pierrick
