Help needed with FULL UPGRADE from CMSMS 1.9.4.3 > 10.1

[naturelab]

Latest development.

OK, I managed to get a duplicate working site & database up and running, http://www.mysite/backup/ ( which was a first for me ! )

I then uploaded the later version of the AdvancedContent (0.9.3) module via FTP.

At this point, ( for the record ) I got a blank screen in the browser. No front end at all.

I then uploaded the 1.10.3 files via FTP ( I can't do it any other way unfortunately )

In the browser I got the message "Site down for maintenance.", which I believe is normal.

I then went to http://www.mysite/backup/install/upgrade.php

Unfortunately, I got a blank screen at this point, which was NOT what I was expecting.

Again, for the record, if I go to http://www.mysite/backup/install/ I get the full install procedure ( which is not what I need )

Does this shed any light on things ?

I feel I have made some progress.

Any help greatly appreciatd

Blank pages means PHP errors.
We need to know which errors are those:

- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8450 ... ges-in-php

Ok thanks.

These are the last entries in the error logs. I hope they shed some light on the situation.

I guess the first two are from when uploaded the new files for Advanced Content...
Then the following lines from when I'd uploaded the core files.

Code: Select all

then

It seems that the ftp upload didn't get completely transferred... (that's frequent problem with ftp).
The way to verify this is by doing a checksum on the files through the installer step 1: http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/installat ... -integrity.
You may find a few errors. Although there will also be obvious false errors, like some lang files missing. Keep an eye on core files where the checksum fails (missing or corrupted files), as these should be there.
If you have access to a CPanel File Manager or similar try uploading the CMSMS archive file to the backup directory, and expand it form that file manager: it's safer.
That may limit the errors to only AdvancedContent module, and if so, upgrade CMSMS with the AdvancedContent directory renamed so that it won't get loaded, and only then upgrade AdvancedContent (remember to rename it back)...

HTH

PS: If this fails I highly recommend hiring a professional to do the upgrade for you.

Thanks for your continued support.

OK I uploaded everything with cPanel file manager this time.
Expanded directly from there.

Checksum was OK this time.

Renamed the AdvancedContent module.

http://www.mysite/backup/install/upgrade.php

Still had a white screen.
Still the same.
No new errors in the log.

ummm...

Maybe it's time to call in the professionals.

Would you be interested ?

Have you tried to install a fresh 1.10.3 yet?
