My b2evolution Version: 1.9.x

I am trying to upgrade from 1.9.3 to 2.4.2. I did what the instructions said, then changed the basic_config file, like it said to, then installed. Assah! Everything worked.

Now the problem is that I can get into my back office, but when I try to get to an actual [url=http://www.amandatakesoff.com/b2evolution1/index.php]blog[/url], I get a 404 error.

I have checked all of the URLs in the back office. They are what I want them to be (and what they were on 1.9.3). When I click the link to get to the blog from the back office, I get a 404.

I searched the forums but didn't find what I was looking for.

Any ideas?

Um... looks like it's not installed to me. Check your PMs please.

Are you absolutely certain you are in the back office for v2.4.2? Scroll down to the bottom of any admin page and it will say the version number.

You should be checking the path on your server to see if, as ¥åßßå stated, you uploaded a folder called "blogs" into your preferred path of "b2evolution1". That would explain why you're not seeing anything where you expect your blog to be.

There is. But I can't get

mydomain.com/b2evolution1/blogs/index.php
mydomain.com/blogs/b2evolution1/index.php
mydomain.com/b2evolution1/index.php

Or variations without the 1 in there (just in case my renaming it didn't work) to work.

Also, I have three blogs. In the back office it says that my domains are:

http://www.amandatakesoff.com/b2evolution1/index.php
http://www.amandatakesoff.com/b2evolution1/index.php/365days/
http://www.amandatakesoff.com/b2evolution1/index.php/koreannotebook/

Not one of those works.

Now....

http://www.amandatakesoff.com/b2evolution1/blogs/index.php/365days/
http://www.amandatakesoff.com/b2evolution1/blogs/index.php/koreannotebook/

Work.

But http://www.amandatakesoff.com/b2evolution1/blogs/index.php doesn't.

Hmmm.

So I guess the next question is what path do you want? Actually it's a two-part question because "and what does your $baseurl in conf/_basic_config.php say" should be in there.

IF you don't want the /blogs/ in your path, and I think you don't, then you need to do two things: all the files and folders in /b2evolution1/blogs/ need to move up one level to /b2evolution1/ AND you need to make sure your $baseurl in b2evolution1/conf/_basic_config.php shows the path as you want it to be - no file names by the way; just the path.

ALRIGHT!

I moved all of the files from /blogs out of that folder and one level up and now EVERY URL I WANT WORKS. (Hey, someone double check and tell me you can see me too, please.)

Now...I've just gotta dig in and screw around with the custom skin files. I have WinMerge, so that shouldn't be too hard.

Ed, I was already trying the moving the blogs folders while you were typing. Just for the record, the basic_config file said the base url was

$baseurl = 'http://www.amandatakesoff.com/b2evolution1/';

OK! The skins are REALLY different this time, and I've gotta mess around a bit, but everything is looking good.

Thanks for the help!
