Hi guys.

I’m trying to upgrade a very old installation of EE 1.5.2 hosted on EngineHosting to the 2.7.3

I went by the book and ran the admin.php file. After a prompt about removing trackbacks, I clicked to the next step and I got this message:

“A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined variable: DB

Filename: updates/ud_160.php

Line Number: 71

Fatal error: Call to a member function insert_string() on a non-object in /www/pmh5151/public_html/system/installer/updates/ud_160.php on line 71

“

Line 71 is:

$Q[] = $DB->insert_string('exp_sites', 
          array('site_id'  => 1, 
            'site_label' => $this->config['site_name'],
            'site_name'  => $this->create_short_name($this->config['site_name'])));

I’ve run the server wizard and the server meets all requirements.

Any idea what I can do to fix this? The exp_sites table doesn’t exist in the current database.

Thanks.
