Compo.sr will not upgrade from OCP 9.0.28
Standard member
I've gone through the ocPortal ugrader, thinking that was the correct way as indicated on the Download Composr - Composr page. I would prefer not to do a fresh install by downloading the installer from that page, as I have done a lot of set up with the forum structure. Inmotion uses the Softaculous installer, however, there is no option visible for Compo.sr, just OCP.
Am I missing something that I should have done?

We renamed info.php to _config.php in v10, and the new code automatically will rename it for you, but the upgrader extractor launched from v9 still relies on info.php being there until it's finished.
Actually thinking about this now, it could be CRON, or someone else hitting the site. That's definitely a big issue we didn't consider, so we'll fix that in the next RC by doing a copy of the file rather than a rename. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Did you do the database upgrade step (step 5)? I think you skipped over it to step 8.

That may have been the problem, as all seems to be working now on RC14. Thanks for the replies! Once final is released and I can complete the site, I have a sneaking suspicion I will have to spread the word on Compo.sr
So many tools, so many options and amazing support.

An error has occurred UTC change.pdf

There's a way to fix that in the system, but I wasn't aware it happened for v9 to v10 upgrades.
You need to edit the CPF #11 and it will correct itself. Admin Zone > Tools > Members > Custom Profile Fields > Edit Custom Profile Field… click Edit next to the one that say "Edit #11" on the edit tooltip.

Not sure that is the one, as that seems to apply only to the Wiki. See screenshot:Chris Graham said

EDIT:
The error occurs even if I try to edit the "Title" tab from blank to any string at all.

I just tested and can confirm the bug. There are few affected fields, I suggest just putting them all through an edit, then it can be okay.
I'll work on fixing the upgrade process, this is a legacy issue.

I'll be guided by whatever suggestions you may have.

That's very nice of you to offer
.We've fixed 100s, possibly 1000s of bugs over our longest testing period ever at this point, so we should be very close to release. But, things always creep up and surprise us.
Probably the best things to test is actually what I can't think of, the most obscure parts of the software.
