key "min_upgrade_version" is either missing or invalid

[rotezecke]

Hi there
I attempted the long overdue upgrade from 1.12.2 to 2.1.4 today (with PHAR installer) and it failed in step two (detect existing software):

The key "min_upgrade_version" is either missing or invalid in the config.ini file

I have successfully tested the upgrade (about 10 times) previously on very similar local server with same files (in theory) and database dumps from life server.
i uploaded the zip file with cPanel's file manager and used extract function. judging by the file size, it's identical with my local version. i suspected a module but there aren't that many, and they are all up-to-date. I renamed CMS_Printing module (which isnt installed) but still in module folder, but it wasnt that. the core modules ThemeManager and MicroTiny are disabled, but test upgrades worked fine that way. any ideas what to try next?

comparing phpinfo() on local and remote webserver, remote server has

bzip2 compression disabled (install pecl/bz2)

looking at the install script, it looks like this would have caused a different error though.

I assume you mean

Code: Select all

if (!function_exists('bzdecompress')) {
die('Error: bzip2 extension is not enabled -' .
' bzdecompress() function needed for bz2-compressed .phars');
}

... but it's possible the test will pass;

Note: A function name may exist even if the function itself is unusable due to configuration or compiling options...

Running...

Code: Select all

php -r 'function_exists("bzdecompress");'

... at the command line should confirm/deny.

Anyway, without bz2 support, have you tried the cmsms-x.y.z-install.expanded.zip files, unpacked in a sub-directory?

Not yet, i was hoping for some sort of "you-forgot-to-do-this" response.
I will ask my host to enabled bz2, failing that i will start testing the expanded install method and report back here. Thanks for your input PinkElephant, much appreciated.

my host recompiled php and enabled bz2. the upgrade went smooth thereafter. Thank you.
