The config file is the admin/config.inc.php file?

Not a TC customer but found some good info there through Googling.

One other question as a little different approach. Is it possible to bulk copy out the data, save the image directory and then delete the 2.2 install. Then install a new 2.3.2 and then bulk copy the data back in? I suppoe the difference in table structures would make that a failing task?

After following the upgrade instructions.
1. Backed up DB
2. ftp'ed entire guestbook dir down to restore if necessary
3. downloaded new AGB version
4. Extracted and uploaded over my current install
5. Modified the admin/config.inc.php with the host, db, user and pw
6. Downloaded Carbonize's install script
7. Modified install script with my correct host, DB, user and pw
8. Tried to run script and get the following error in my browser.

Could not connect to MySQL because: Access denied for user: 'iwantr2_agbook1@localhost' (Using password: YES)

So I'm back to my old config - running but still has the errors listed in the first post at the top of each page when the guestbook sis displayed.

Ideas welcomed.

Ok. I didn't read the "Read This" post - let me try the upgrade script first.

I have AGB 2.2 installed and running. I know about the security vulnerabilities and would like to upgrade to 2.3.1. My only concern is keeping the entries I already have installed.

Out of the blue, this morning the guestbook started displaying the following.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/iwantr2/public_html/guestbook/lib/gb.class.php(101) : eval()'d code on line 91

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/iwantr2/public_html/guestbook/lib/gb.class.php(101) : eval()'d code on line 91

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/iwantr2/public_html/guestbook/lib/gb.class.php(101) : eval()'d code on line 91

These three lines are displayed at the top of the page. The guestbook still functions - accepts entries and the rest of it displays correctly. Any idea of what this is? Should it be repaired before an upgrade?

For the upgrade procedure, any comments on the following giude TotalChoice Hosting Forum

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
