CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello, I have problem with upgrading from from 1.10.3 to 1.11.7. I red instructions for upgrade and I do all recommended steps (backup, upgrade modules, set NCleanGrey) and after I copy new files to FTP I got only blank screen without any source code with HTTP status 500. I tried /install/index.php?sessiontest=1 or /install/upgrade.php - both blank screen.

Only running url is /install/, whre I choose only language and second step /install/index.php?sessiontest=1 again blank with 500. Except /install/ all URLs returns 500 with blank screen. No error appears.

Please can anyone help me? Thank you for everything, what could help me.

blank screen indicates a php error.

modify your .htaccess or php.ini to enable error messages.

Treemanager could be the problem as it is marked as stale. It hasn't been updated since 2009. Probably it isn't compatible with php 5.3.x

Thank for your reply. After turning error off, I get to 6. step in upgrade, where I found error "Fatal error: Class 'news_admin_ops' not found in /web/u/domain.cz/subdomains/www/modules/News/News.module.php on line 374". Do you know how can I fix it? Thanks a lot for any advise!

There is a chance that files got corrupted during the transference process. Try doing a checksum to check for files integrity, and try to use one of the alternative methods to upload files to the server. HTH.

I try new update 1.11.8 nad I got another error:-( 6th step again.
This error I can found through all website now.

Time to use the backup: revert all to the point you started (database included); don't use ftp to upload the files, try one of the alternative methods; do a checksum and make sure there are no corrupted files left; then upgrade.
HTH

You may have to rename the News folder in modules > folder to get the upgrade to finish then rename it back then run News upgrade in admin > modules..
