UPGRADE FROM 10.1.1 to 12.3

[Krisamd 0]

I have upgrading my site from 10.1.1 to 12.3 and one of the main problem is to  enter the year in "Custom Copyright start in Setup >> General Settings >> Site Design section"

While 10.1.1 had a row to enter the year, the row is missing in 12.3 as below:

ADMIM>General Settings>Site Design and Definition
TNG 12.3	TNG 10.1.1
Home Page Genealogy URL Site Name Site Description Doctype Declaration Site Owner Target Frame Custom header: Custom Footer Custom Meta Tabs Style Sheet Menu Location Show home Link Show Search Link Search Link Destination Show Login/logout Link Show Share Link Show Print Link Show Add Bookmark Link Hide Christening Labels: Default Tree	Home Page Genealogy URL Site Name Site Description Doctype Declaration Site Owner Target Frame Custom header: Custom Footer Custom Copyright Start Year Custom Meta Tabs Style Sheet Menu Location Show home Link Show Search Link Search Link Destination Show Login/logout Link Show Share Link Show Print Link Show Add Bookmark Link Hide Christening Labels: Default Tree

 

I am at a loss how to enter the "update the Custom Copyright 

> start in Setup >> General Settings >> Site Design section.""

Kris,

What version of the User Footer Copyright mod did you install?

[Krisamd 0]

Ken

user_footer_copyright_v12.1.0.9.cfg

Thanks

Kris,

Can you attach a copy of your admin_genconfig.php file? then you can uninstall the mod, replace the admin_genconfig.php with the distributed version and re-install the mod.

I would like to see your file, because I just installed the user_footer_copyright_v12.1.0.9.cfg  on a new localhost system that I am building and the field is there.

Attached admin_genconfig.php

The Original file TNG10.1.1 was dated 041/22/2015 

This file was overwritten by the above file dated  12/18/2019

Is there any update ?

Kris

 

admin_genconfig.php

Hi Kris,

That is the correct file date and the module you sent is identical to the distributed module. 

There is no sign that the User Footer Copyright mod is installed, so what makes you think that it is installed, or did you attach the TNG 12.3 module and not the one from your localhost web server.

I renamed my module, copied yours into my WampServer TNG root folder and then cleaned up the partially installed status.  I was then able to install the User Footer Copyright mod and the input field for Custom Copyright Start Year is there.

Thanks Ken

I have decided to install fresh and not go through upgrading path

Here is my latest Site configuration and it is functioning without problems.

I am upgrading the family data and once this process is completed I will upload to my site namkudumbam.net

Your suggestion will be most welcome.

Thanks 

Kris

Kris,

Thanks for your feedback.  If you copy your localhost TNG files to your hosting service later to upgrade that site, there are 2 files that should not be copied

• config.php since your localhost sever information will be different than your hosting service
• subroot.php if you move your configuration files outside of the web browser access

Sorry, the upgrade did not work for you.

Ken,

Finally I succeeded to upgrade from 10.1.1 to 12.3 and steps I followed as below:

First I upgraded from 10.1.1 to 11.1111

upgraded all mods as required and modified all custom files.

Next upgraded from 11.1111 to 12.3

all mods reinstalled to current version

All custom files are upgraded.

Now the system is working fine

Thanks for your advice.:

Now I want to upgrade from - wampserver2.5 - Apache-2.4.9 - Mysql-5.6.17 - php5.5.12-64b 

to 

Wampserver       Version 3.2.2 - 64bit, - Apache Version: 2.4.41 - PHP  Version: 7.3.12 - MySQL Version: 5.5.62

Simply Hosting  have indicated that they only support "Server version: 5.5.62-cll-lve MySQL"

Any suggestion

Thanks

Kris

Hi Kris,

Just a suggestion FWIW.   Maybe this is a good time to take a peek at an alternative for your localhost?  I will toot my horn for Laragon  .  About the easiest Wamp Stack  installation (64bit available) I have encountered (minutes for the stack) and has run flawlessly for me since May. 

A couple other TNG users are now using Laragon.  Ken has been requesting some documentation on the TNG wiki, and I may do that when time permits.😏.

Kris,

Take a look at the TNG WIki article on WampServer  and especially the Updates section on the WampServer site

If you do a full install of the current WampServer version, the default database management system (DBMS) will be MariaDB and you will need to specify a port to connect to a MySQL database.

Alternatively, you can switch to Laragon but I have not at this time

Ken,

A note of thanks for your earlier comment on how to check the VS_ versions that might be missing from WAMP. After updating everything, I still had problems connecting to the database.  I was doing a fresh install of WAMP on my laptop for presentation purposes. 

After 2 days, I finally noticed my SQL was using port 3308 not 3306. I added "localhost:3308" to my config.php file and everything is working. Others might find this useful to know.

I have already experimented with 
Wampserver       Version 3.2.2 - 64bit
Apache                Version: 2.4.41
PHP                      Version: 7.3.12
MySQL                 Version: 8.0.18
Port defined for MySQL: 3309
Server Software: Apache/2.4.41 (Win64) PHP/7.3.12 - Port defined for Apache: 80
TNG                      Version 12.3

I had some problems of importing all my data from TNG 10.1.1. 

Now that I have a full working version of TNG12.3, I will start afresh with 

Wampserver       Version 3.2.2 - 64bit, - Apache Version: 2.4.41 - PHP  Version: 7.3.12 - MySQL Version: 5.5.62 port 3309

I will come back after few days

Thanks

Kris

John,

I keep running out of time.  If you installed WampServerfull install 3.2 or higher, then the default database manager system (DBMS) is now MariaDB instead of MySQL  You can either assign a port in the TNG Setup > General Settings > Database section or you can read the instructions on how to switch the DBMS back to MySQL to the default port 3306

As far as I know if you wanted to use MariaDB in WampServer 3.1 or below, you had to specify port 3307 in the TNG Setup, and on 3.2 full install rather than an upgrade from earlier version, where MariaDB is now using the default port of 3306, you need to specify port 3308.

Port defined for MySQL: 3309

Kris,

I am not sure how you got port 3309 assigned unless you hit the wrong key when posting your information.

 

[Krisamd 0]

In my local host -wampserver2.5-Apache-2.4.9-Mysql-5.6.17-php5.5.12-64b-TNG12.3 the port is 3306

In my other local host  Wampserver  Version 3.2.2 - 64bit, - Apache Version: 2.4.41 - PHP  Version: 7.3.12 - MySQL Version: 5.5.62 TNG12.3 the  port 3309

In my system wamp 3.2.2 above it does not accept any port other than 3309
