[solved] Upgrade.php gives 'internal server error' (1.3.1 to 1.5.1)

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

[solved] Upgrade.php gives 'internal server error' (1.3.1 to 1.5.1)

Post by Cursorkeys »

Hi everyone,

I've just upgraded to 1.5.1 from 1.3.1 (overwriting with the full download) and everything seems to have gone smoothly in that after deleting the '/tmp/cache/SITEDOWN' file as instructed in the admin panel the site looks the same.

The problem is that after I CHMOD'd config.php to 666 and tried to run upgrade.php I get a '500 Internal Server Error' message reported.
The log shows the following:

[Sat Dec 13 18:52:14 2008] [error] [client 78.32.192.84] File does not exist: /home/cursor2/public_html/500.shtml

The errors doesn't mean a lot to me I'm afraid. Does anybody have any ideas what's going on?

Run System Verification from Admin panel OR upload cmschecksum.php (in install folder) in cms root folder and calling
This test your installation

Hi Alby,

Thanks a lot for the help. My webhost helped me understand that the SoftException was caused by folders being incorrectly set to 777, fixing the permissions cured those errors.
After running the cmschecksum.php I found that a huge number of files had issues, changing FTP clients and re-uploading fixed all the problems.

So I'm fully fixed and thanks for the assistance :)
