I recently upgraded my VPS from Debian 5 to Debian 6.
Related to this were the following changes :
PHP : 5.2.6-1 ---> 5.3.3-7
MySQL : 5.0.5a ---> 5.1.49

It was a few days ago. Apparently everything was OK.

On my website there is a forum which is not very active so I don't know exactly when the problems appeared but I think it must be related to this :
Today I saw that 2 people had posted an answer to a recent topic but something went wrong : both answers are not linked to the topic and when I want to add this manually through the backoffice the topic just don't appear in the list.

Moreover, I tried to post answers to this topic but I immediadely get Erreur HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error). Of course the problem is the same when I try to answer to other topics.

Any idea about what the problem is and how to solve this ?

I'm using WordPress 3.3.2 and bbpress 2.0.2

Thanks for your help !

Best Regards,
Laurent

If so, where can I download 1.0.2?

I have tried upgrading from 0.9.0.4 to 1.1 (overwriting my files with those downloaded from http://bbpress.org/download/legacy/), but this just gave me a blank/white screen. Hence, I downgraded to 0.9.0.4 again...

It would be great with some hints and tips!

Thanks,
Toni

Once you have the backups, it is a simple overwrite and poof, done.

What is the best way to do this?

I´ll wait for 1.1.

Some may find Kevinjohn's posts to be overly dramatic, but he DOES have a point.

Except, it's not, is it JJJ?

It was released February 23rd but there was no announcement or blog entry

Thanks ck. Glad I stopped in to the forum today!

It's already flagged critical so it should get some attention.

Thank you _ck_ for the sticky! If I were looking at my feeds from TRAC I'd be still thinking 1.0.3 was just a dream... =P

@pbul2004 to avoid lots of spam you need a registration captcha plugin or "Human Test" and optionally askismet

Unfortunately there is no documentation on what the improvements between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 were, there still isn't even an official release announcement which is why I made one.

You'd have to read the notes from TRAC which unfortunately have been made a mess by changing all the file mime property types, even on unchanged files.

1- backup the bb-config.php or write down the database name, user and password.
2- delete "bb-admin", "bb-includes" and "bb-templates" folders and all the single files from the bbpress root directory with the exception of ".htacess"
3- download bbpress, extract the contents to a folder, rename bb-config-sample.php to bb.config.php and edit it with the details from step 1.
4- send everything from that folder to your bbpress root directory clicking yes if your ftp program asks to overwrite files on the server.

it worked for me but i not using pluggins that allow visitors to upload files or images

So i just download the new bbpress zip file and replace all the contents on my ftp? And my theme files wont be affected?

Do my theme files need to be updated as well?

Thanks

You can install the new version over the old copy, just don't delete anything.

Just make sure your template directory is not the same as bbpress default (kakumei) which you seem to be using "mytheme" so that's fine.

I am on v 1.0.2 of bbpress.

My theme is located in /forum/bb-templates/mytheme.

How would i upgrade to latest version without affecting my sites theme and changes i have made?

Thanks
Paul

http://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2958/tags/1.0.3?old=2339&old_path=%2Ftags%2F1.0.2

unfortunately the mime property was modified on files that were otherwise unchanged, so the file list looks huge, but most of them are unaffected.

also /jquery/interface.js was added in 1.0.3 but for some wrong reason they are using the packed version which is slower because it has to be unpacked on every page load, it should be the minified only version without packing and just let gzip do the compression work between the server and the browser

I've edited down the list and removed the property-only changes
