I did an upgrade of my phpBB forum software from RC5 to RC7 yesterday. It’s not the final production release, so there are a few problems, including the upgrade from RC5 to RC7 seems to break the forum. I thought I had fixed it, but noticed I had no posts since it was “fixed”. This left me wondering. When I tried to post something this morning it all went gaga…
After doing some surfing I found this and fixed the problem… I think…
What’s the moral of this story? There are several:
- Don’t be lured into using Beta or Release Candidate software just because it looks pretty. Wait for the production release.
- If you want a day off answering questions, break your forum. It’s like having a mini-holiday.
- Be prepared for the inevitable deluge of messages telling you your site is broken.
- Blame it all on technical problems beyond your control. Never admit to messing it all up because you are too keen to upgrade to non-production versions of software.
Cheers

Are you talking about phpBB or Oracle11g here?

Well seeing as though 11g isnt a beta or RC release, that comment wouldnt apply would it?
