CMS Made Simple Forums

Today I have upgraded a website from version 1.2.3 to 1.5.0 (and later to 1.5.1 when I found out it was released).

After the upgrade to 1.5.0 I accessed the modules from extentions->modules, and I only see 1 module, the captcha module. Now I know there should be more modules, because I created this website to contain a frontend with user registration and all. Can anyone tell me what happened to my modules?

The website is http://www.fantasyarena.net

Check the \modules folder if the expected modules are showing there...

As far as I can see the expected modules are all there... I can also access the installed modules in the administration panel, and the front end seems to work properly. When I look at the module repository I see modules I have installed as Cannot be downloaded.

It's just the fact that they don't show up in the module-section.

Also... I just noticed this now... the back-end looks an awfull lot like the 1.2.3 version, and not the 1.5.0 version... could that be related, perhaps?

I did a clean install of 1.5.0 the other day, and the back-end looked a lot better!

My guess is one of the installed modules is not compatible with the current CMS Made Simple and generating some kind of PHP error. Check your server error log for details.
You can also try turning on debug config.php to see if it gives more information.
Another thing you can try is renaming all (non-core) module folders one by one to see if one of the modules is messing things up.

Posting a list of installed modules and versions (copy and paste from Site Admin » System Information) makes it easier for us/others to maybe determine what's going wrong.

Sounds like you didn't overwrite the files on the server with the 1.5.0 files.

I thought as much, so I restored the backup, and restored the database.... apparantly I see the same thing happening in version 1.2.3...

I will edit the DNS now so I will get the site on the old webspace back, and let's see what's happening there...

Thank you for your comments thus far!

Come to think of it, 1.5.0(/1.5.1) has the nCleanGrey admin theme set by default.
You have to change to it if you come from an older version (My Preferences » User Preferences).

From the 1.5.x admin you can check the current CMS version (Site Admin » System Information) and check file integrity (Site Admin » System Verification, download a checksum file here)

Okay... original website, same lonely module, and an error:
Been busy on a module of my own, and this is probably the one making trouble.

Indeed... I corrected the error in the original version, migrated it to my new server, and upgraded it to 1.5.1. All modules are visible... Only thing is I can't seem to get the new administrator theme working, even though I use the settings exactly as a freshly installed 1.5.1 version.
