CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade from v1.5.4 to v1.6 but without success so far.

I followed the instructions and reached step 5 of the install/upgrade.php process (upgrade schema).  When I click 'continue', the browser hangs, never reaching the next step.

I tried $config['debug'] = true; in config.php but I can't find any log output in the Apache logs etc.

A the end of step4 it says So I click 'continue' but the process gets stuck at this point, never reaching the next page.

Can anyone suggest what I should try next?

Rick

--PS
if I do a clean install, everything works fine, except that I don't have any content.  I suppose I could copy the content across by hand.  Is there a good tool (export pages & import pages) to speed this up?

If this is happening there is a good chance you have missing files or there were some Yellow ! or Red X you needed to fix before proceeding and some how got passed them...

Of course if you gave more info we could maybe give more help, like all your server configurations etc...

Thanks.  This is the info from the (working) 154 installation on my development server.

This is from the site you are trying to upgrade?...

Yes, it's my development server.

When I can upgrade that successfully, I'll attempt the production server.

Hello,

rickb wrote: Yes, it's my development server.

can you raise all log levels (webserver, database...) to max on this dev computer ?
Is it reproducible with several supported admin browsers ?
Could you uninstall unused nonCore modules ?
Do you have some mod_security or any proxying facility installed ?

I have a large number of pages.  I discovered that, when I left the v1.5 -> v1.6 upgrade long enough, it eventually completed.  The upgrade was particularly time-consuming in needing to re-index all of the pages.  Perhaps this is why not many other people seem to have had trouble with the upgrade.

I discovered this by using phpmyadmin to list the MySQL processes.
