I just used the upgrade script, and there were some database errors. When opening the directory, ROOT appears with no links in it. But, the links still exist in the database, because I checked manually. It seems there is no way to set the ROOT directory to what it was before.

hi guys,

2kernel:
go to your admin panel -> configuration -> General Configuration -> Enable path field for categories
After that when you add a category you will have path field. SO this field should be filled for correct script work.

2echopulse:
hmm, what kind of errors you have? I tested it on my local version and it works. if you provide me your access I will make an upgrade for you. ALso try to set id = 0 for your root category in your phpMyAdmin. '

There is another way to make an upgrade. You just create a dump of your categories and links tables. And reinstall the script. Then import data and it should work.

[echopulse]

So, the only tables I import are the link and categories?

[Simon Gooffin]

they are the most important. but in case you have many partner, featured links, editors then you should make the full dump. And one note:
when you create a dump of your categories - remove ROOT category from it.

[echopulse]

How do I do that?

[Simon Gooffin]

just open it in a plain text editor and remove that line that contains ROOT category

I also have the same error after install the upgrade.
The other error: the category can not count the link inside.
all have (0)

what's wrong? :!:

[Simon Gooffin]

there is one NOTE
when you upgraded your script your categories should be manually moved to their current location. After you do this number of links and subcategories will work
