let's say I am going to update a test forum from 2.0.18 to SMF 2.1RC4...

Which file should I actually be using?

When I checked on Github I couldn't find an RC4 file (presumably as that's already been released) so should I use the current code for 2.1final? Or... ?

Answer appreciated. :)

Answer including relevant link doubly appreciated.  :rgton

Try this https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?msg=3958589 and download the 'nightly_upgrade'

But I would recommend using the main download from smf downloads https://download.simplemachines.org/ using the RC4 Large upgrade on that page.

So it looks like the same problem I had which was reported fixed on GH. You said you got the files from the nightly build ?? Try the ones from GH. They may work better. One more question though...Do you have a lot of attachments ??

I did but when I culled the forum (deleted most boards) that should have culled the attachment stuff too, I assume.

You may have to look through attachment settings and the like to see if there are any problems. That's were I would start anyway.

Nah I'm using the official RC4 build.

Kindred said there's a way to tell the upgrader not to do backups before doing the upgrade - biut I couldn't find that when running upgrade.php

Downloading it from GH is the official RC4. As for what Kindred said, there should be a checkbox when you start the upgrader to backup or not. Just don't check the box. Make sure you take a database backup from cpanel before doing the upgrade though.

Well...it's not the one on the downloads page on SMF but it has more fixes and is more advanced than what is there.
