Errore di aggiornamento 'forum.datastore' con vbulletin 3.7.0

[marco]

Ciao.
Sto cercando di aggiornare un vBulletin 3.6.8 Patch Level 1 alla versione 3.7.0.
Ho scaricato il file ed ho seguito le istruzioni:

Upgrading from a previous version of vBulletin 3

Close your board via the Admin Control Panel.

Upload all files from the 'upload/' folder in the zip, with the exception of 'install/install.php'. Then open the 'upload/includes/' folder. In this you will find config.php.new. You should rename this to config.php and then open it in a text editor.

Open your browser and point the URL to http://www.example.com/forum/install/upgrade.php (where www.example.com/forums/ is the URL of your vBulletin). You should now be automatically forwarded to the appropriate upgrade script and step.

Follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure you click next step or proceed until you are redirected to your Admin Control Panel. Here, you can reopen your board.

For a complete description of how to upgrade from a previous version of vBulletin 3 to the latest version, see the upgrade section of the vBulletin 3 Manual.

Please note that the format for config.php in vBulletin 3.5.x is different from previous versions of vBulletin, and you will need to manually update your config file to the new format. Instructions are here.

In pratica ho estratto il file zip ed uploadato tutto il contenuto della cartella upload nella cartella principale del forum dopo averlo chiuso, trasferimento in modalità binaria e sovrascrivendo i dati esistenti. Poi sono andato a cercare il file install/install.php è l'ho cancellato. Sono andato a pescare il file upload/includes/config.php.new e l'ho rinominato in config.php, poi l'ho aperto con un editor e vi ho inserito i dati per collegarlo al database prendendoli dal file vecchio ed è venuto così (i dati sensibili li ho sovrascritti con xxx):

Ricarico questo file modificato e poi vado in http://www.example.com/forum/install/upgrade.php dove www.example.com/forums/ è l'URL del forum vBulletin).
Li, mi da questo errore:

Database error in vBulletin :

Invalid SQL:

SELECT *
FROM datastore
WHERE title IN ('','options','bitfields','attachmentcache','forumcache','usergroupcache','stylecache','languagecache','products','pluginlist','cron','profilefield','loadcache','noticecache');

MySQL Error : Table 'forum.datastore' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146
Request Date : Sunday, May 4th 2008 @ 07:21:30 PM
Error Date : Sunday, May 4th 2008 @ 07:21:30 PM
Script : http://xxx/install/upgrade.php
Referrer :
IP Address : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Username :
Classname : vb_database
MySQL Version : 4.1.20-standard

Fortunatamente avevo fatto il backup di tutto, e cancellando il sito completamente e ricaricandolo, torna la versione vecchia perfettamente funzionante.
Dove sbaglio?
Grazie

Attenzione che nel thread del rilascio c'è scritto così:

PHP and MySQL Requirements

vBulletin 3.7.0 requires at least PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.16 (These are the same requirements as vBulletin 3.6), but we strongly recommend that all customers run PHP 5.2.5 with APC and MySQL 5.0.51 or later. Major performance benefits can be had by taking the recommended route rather than simply satisfying the required versions.

Certo che se i requisiti sono gli stessi della versione 3.6, non dovresti avere problemi visto che arrivi da li, ma dai comunque un'occhiata alle versioni che utilizza il tuo hosting che non si può mai sapere.... comunque trovi altre info qui

Lo sai che effettivamente il php è vecchio?
Ho creato con il Notepad un file chiamato phpinfo.php e vi ho copiato sopra questa riga:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Una volta caricato sul server mi dice che il PHP è un 4.3.11 (dovrebbe essere minimo 4.3.3) e il mysql è 3.23.58 (invece che 4.0.16).
Però da phpmyadmin mi dice che mysql è 4.1.20... boh, chi ha ragione?
Poco importa, ora mando una mail all'hosting chiedendo di aggiornarli entrambi e vediamo cosa mi dice... e se poi risolvo, più che altro!!!
Grazie intanto
Ciao
