Hi.

I have experienced on severeral on my sites, that after upgrade to cms ms 2.x the news module does not publish articles anymore. The article shows in the back-end but not in the front-end

works for me, I just tested.

[eddie67]

So, if it does not work on a fresh install, where do I look ?

The fresh install is located at ...

I can see the News articles, browser caching at your end?

[eddie67]

Oh, must be the Varnish at my host. I have even disabled it.
So a fresh install is working. I will edit my post..


But what or where do I search to find this problem om my upgraded sites?
The site(s) worked in 1.1.12, and after upgrade everything is working except the front-end News articles.


Thanks
Eddie

My first guess is change template names. Check template names in the News admin and the one you use in your {News ...} tags.

Thank you for your help.

So, after more digging this is the actual problem:

The server-time was not set to my country, so the articles was published 7 hours later (USA vs Europe).

THERE IS AN ISSUE HERE:

On this particular VPS, there is a cmsms 1.x site finansavisen.hegnar.no, where news are posted correctly.

On the same VPS, the new site at glimrende.xyz is cmsms 2.1

Both has the line $config['timezone'] = 'Europe/Oslo'; In their config.php.

The 1.x site is apparantly reading the config.php timezone and using this time, whereas the 2.x does not.
The solution for me was to change servertime at my VPS. But what about shared hosting where you can not choose?

Perhaps this will be to some help for others if you have the same issue.
