You should be able to. Backup your files and database before you do it, though.
Please report whether it works.

Yes, It works.
But, there are two problems.
1, "redirecting..." cann't get the correct url. my forum url is xxx.com/bbs, but it redirect to xxx.com when login, logout, chang profile setting etc. I think it is caused by my changes to the config.php. I cann't upgrade to 1.4 when I use the config.php of v1.3, so, I replace it to 1.4's form. here are them:
1.3(mysql)

<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'xxx';
$db_username = 'xxx';
$db_password = 'xxx';
$db_prefix = 'xxx';
$p_connect = false;

$base_url = 'http://xxx.com/bbs';

$cookie_name = 'forum_cookie_123456';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;

define('FORUM', 1);

1.4(sqlite, from a test forum)

<?php

$db_type = 'sqlite';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'xxx';
$db_username = '';
$db_password = '';
$db_prefix = '';
$p_connect = false;

$cookie_name = 'pun_cookie_4654321';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = '1234567891011';

define('PUN', 1);

and I use:

<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'xxx';
$db_username = 'xxx';
$db_password = 'xxx';
$db_prefix = 'xxx';
$p_connect = false;

$cookie_name = 'pun_cookie_123456;
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = '1234567891011';

define('PUN', 1);

2, Old users cann't login:
Info
Wrong username and/or password. Forgotten your password?

Help...

I am not sure I understand correctly. But it looks like the base URL is missing in your config.php.

Uh, right. I think that has to do with the password hash being generated without a seed etc.
I'd like some feedback from one of the other developers on this, and if this is correct, I am gonna sit down and come up with something.

EDIT: Then again, on second thought, that should be more of a problem with 1.2 -> 1.4.

Thanks lie2815! But base URL does not work. Whether "$base_url = 'http://xxx.com/bbs';"or "$base_url = 'http://xxx.com/bbs/', no any change.

Should I must return to 1.3 now?:(——I like v1.4 more except I cann't find RSS in 1.4.
Edit:Or, can I setup a new 1.4, and then cover the old sql form 1.3 to the new 1.4?:)

The base URL is in the config table in the database, as was the case in 1.2. Set it manually and clear the cache files.

On that note, the upgrade script should probably take care of that.

ehtime · 2009-08-10 15:47:27

Thank you elbekko!
I opend the config.sql, but I don't have enough capacity to set it manually
Avatars in the posts cann't display, url lost "/bbs" too. I think it's also caused by base URL.

Another mistake when 1.3 —> 1.4
Users's title seems shows incorrect in "use list", the correct title is "member" , it shows "guest"; title is "admin",it shows "member". just "new member" shows correct.

Reines · 2009-08-10 15:59:32

If the titles are showing wrong you may want to check if the users are in the correct group. The group IDs between 1.3 and 1.4 are different, it may be that the update script has in fact put members in the guest group and admins in the member group?

ehtime · 2009-08-10 16:18:32

I did not change any of db_update.php.
This is the result:
1.3 -> 1.4
admin -> member
moderators -> member
member -> guest
new member (correct).

Edit: I cann't login with a old usename, so I register a new one. When I login with the new ID, I cann't use Email, there is no email link anywhere. I think it's because the new ID is in "Guest" group.

Yeah that's what I was worried about. Sounds like lie2815 was mistaken and it hasn't been updated to support 1.3 -> 1.4 properly.

In fact when looking there is an outstanding ticket (#86) for it still.

Thanks for the testing, I'd suggest you leave it for now and stick with 1.3 until we have a final release of 1.4

Franz · 2009-08-10 17:00:58

Well, it was supposedly working. It just needed some thorough testing (which nobody has done yet, so it seems).

ehtime · 2009-08-10 17:01:43

Thanks Reines:)
I have reset a password for administrator, and can use "Administration" of the new forum, but cann't change anything because this Info:

Bad HTTP_REFERER. If you have moved these forums from one location to another or switched domains, you need to update the Base URL manually in the database (look for o_base_url in the config table) and then clear the cache by deleting all .php files in the /cache directory.

I cann't find o_base_url, if not, I think it can normal operation:)
Thanks everybody! I'll return to 1.3 and waiting...
