Discussione: Errore aggiornamento alla versione 3.7.0

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):

// ****** PATH TO ADMIN & MODERATOR CONTROL PANELS ******
// This setting allows you to change the name of the folders that the admin and
