I am still running 5.0. I'm way behind on updates. Can I upgrade from 5.0 to 5.7? Also, will the database have to be replaced
and start over with configurations?

You need to start from scratch with the config.

- Have a copy of 5.7 ready to upload.
- Put your DB and password settings in the 5.7 lgsl_config.php
- Upload all the files overwriting any existing.
- Log into the LGSL admin, which should upgrade the DB

That's it, but let me know if you have any problems

Thank you, it seems to be working fine.

One question though on the blocks.

I am running Drupal 6.15. Since there is no integration w/drupal, I am using the Standalone 5.7 with an iframe on my drupal page. see here...

http://www.saints-n-sinners.com/node/1693

Do you know if I would also have to use an iframe to be able to use a block view of a server? I can run php and html code inside a drupal block,
so is there a code snippet available to do this?

Have a look at the bottom of:

As long as you get the path to the zone correct, it should work.

A problem noticed...

Have another look at my server watch page. I am noticing that when I click on a UT99 server, player name do not appear. It continuously says "No Player Info"
while the counter indicates players there. I don't have this prob with COD servers.

Any idea what is causing the player info to not show when I try to view server details? Normally it shows a list of player names on the server.
This is only happening in my Unreal Tournament servers.

Still same problem.

Should I delete database and restart over?

Again, player info don't show for UT servers.

At the moment the servers are empty, but will check again later to see if there is an issue.

I put the exact same servers on my list and player names are showing, but not on yours.

This means it is likely to be a PHP bug, if you run the server yourself you can try upgrading your PHP version.

If not if you can PM me FTP access to your lgsl folder, I can try to diagnose the specific issue and do a work around.

Thanks for the access, your PHP is fine, it was a bug that only happens in certain situations.

Let me know if you have any more problems.

much thanks for the fix. I will back everything up. Will this be a problem again if/when I upgrade later or need to reinstall?

No, I will roll out the fixes in the next release of LGSL ( which will be 5.8 when it comes out )

Hi Rich, am I safe to update to latest now. You made a fix from 5.7 on my site and called it 5.8 beta. Not sure if I will break that fix by updating.

Very nice. I am actually now using your Drupal module which is very nice. Have you always had the Drupal module or just recently?
Have you thought about making it available on the Drupal website as contributed module? http://drupal.org/project/Modules

Great job
