Site(s) dead after upgrade to 1.7 (Solved)

[snowball]

And so , to keep the websites up 2 date I wanted to upgrade a few of my site's today to CMSMS version 1.7

After uploading the files and trying to startup the upgrade process something weard happens, the site cannot be reached anymore.  Logging in to the admin is still possible however there is nothing to see there anymore Just the cmsms headerimage....

When trying to reach the url  mysite.com/install/upgrade.php a weard page with incompete content shows up, looking trough the source didn't clear things up also...

Dowgrading to a previous version didn't solve the problem to...

Is there something in 1.7 different this time whart causes this? I'm running cmsms for a long time never had any issues with upgrading....

Going to sleep over it now and run a backup on a previous version again tomorrow with a new clean database...

Happy easter!

PHP version?

[snowball]

I would loved to do that but the problem is that the whole site, admin and frontend cannot be reached at al...

But I am one step futher, I first deleted the database and removed all content on the server (again), then a fresh new start with a previous version 1.6.6 and how funny that works fine, so I went trough the install process and everything works fine.

So before I do the complete backup I've tried first to upgrade to CMSMS 1.7  and for some reason it will not work the system is dead after that upgrade again...

So there has to be something  different in version 1.7 .....never had any troubles with upgrading before...

PHP Version 4.4.7

Either downgrade or contact your hosting provider immediately how to modify your php.ini or .htaccess to turn on PHP 5.
