Hi,

I am running drupal 6.6 on Apache with windows xp as operating system.

I have tried upgrading to alpha 14:

went offline, downloaded and extracted the folder from the tar file and replaced the folder in the modules folder.

Now, when I run the update.php it doesn't go on beyond the first page, and I get a white screen when I press the continue button. Now I cannot access many pages including the forums and different admin pages, getting always white screen instead.
When I go to the home page I am getting an error message:

* warning: require_once(./sites/all/modules/advanced_forum/modules/contact.forum.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Apache2.2\htdocs\sites\all\modules\advanced_forum\advanced_forum.module on line 278.
* warning: require_once(./sites/all/modules/advanced_forum/modules/contact.forum.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Apache2.2\htdocs\sites\all\modules\advanced_forum\advanced_forum.module on line 278.

Every time I downgrade to alpha 13 it goes back to normal but alpha 14 keeps producing the same results.

Hope I got everything covered.

I'm experiencing a similar situation on my D6.6 install, except I also got a fatal error that states this...

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './sites/all/modules/advanced_forum/modules/contact.forum.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in ...sites/all/modules/advanced_forum/advanced_forum.module on line 278

Reverting back to alpha13 seems OK as you mention.

Weird... Running update.php cleared the cache for me just fine. Anyway, just truncate the cache table and it will go away.

hi Michelle - same thing here :(

the first problem for me was when I put the site into maintenance mode before running update.php -- I got a blank white screen -- ultimately i had to remove the module directory once in offline mode, then replace it, then clear the caches again after that. THen I was able to run update.php.

The 2nd problem came after running update.php -- here were my results:

The following queries were executed
advanced_forum module
Update #5004

    * Failed:
    * Failed:
    * Failed:

I looked in the status reports to see what failed exactly - but didn't see any helpful info.

I'm wondering if the steps I took above caused something irregular to happen, or if these 'failed' notices are expected and really no problem?

Thanks :)
Scott

Reading the upgrade instructions in the release notes is very important, especially when using alpha modules:

Running update.php may report failures but this is just clearing out some old variables that not everyone has and is harmless.
