CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello everybody!

My attempt is to upgrade CMSMS 1.7 to 2.x
The server is running PHP Version 5.6.21 and I follow the instructions at http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/upgrading/to-cmsms-2.x

Now I have made the backups, all files and databases. My next step is to "Perform all third party module upgrades.".

Any idea how I know what is third party? I have these modules:


For example, this very first "Calendar", I cannot find it at http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/project/li ... tml&page=2.

Any ideas, suggestions?
All help is welcome

Darn, this just does not work for me

I followed all the steps but managed only to get this as a result:


It looks like the PHAR is enabled:


Any ideas what I should try next? All ideas and advice are welcome!

You shouldn't be able to upgrade directly from 1.7 to 2.x, so I'm assuming you didn't....

CMSMS 1.x:

• FileManager
• MenuManager
• ModuleManager
• Search
• CMSMailer
• News
• MicroTiny
• CMSPrinting
• ThemeManager

CMSMS 2.x:

• AdminSearch
• CMSContentManager
• DesignManager
• FileManager
• MenuManager
• ModuleManager
• Search
• News
• MicroTiny
• Navigator

This list may have a few variations from version to version but not many...

Additionally you'll need to check if 3rd party modules are compatible with CMSMS 2.x http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/project/li ... ed/CMSMS-2

Don't use FTP (I'm betting you have used it...) but if absolutely must then make sure it's in binary mode.

Does this mean that I have to do the upgrades
1st 1.7 to 1.8.2, then 1.8.2 to 1.9.4.3, then to 1.10.3, and to 1.11.13, then to 1.12.1 - and then to 2.1.3?

Totally six (6) upgrades?

You don't have to, but you should... depending on the sites (and on your experience) you may succeed in going straight from 1.7 to 1.12.2, and then to 2.1.3, but there are a few possible pitfalls... in any case there are a few modules on your list that are not yet compatible with CMSMS 2.x, so when in 1.12.2 there is some planing you may need to do before upgrading to 2.1.3.

Thank you for the modul info.

Okay, I tried to be carefull. I uploaded with Dreamweaver, ftp, of course.
I have to try some other way if that was the problem.

Ha-haa! The install-file was corrupted during the uploading. You knew it.
The successfull uploading was now done by OSX Terminal FTP, good'ol Unix

But, what should I do with this? The assistant said "We did not find an installation of CMS Made Simple in this directory. It looks like this is a new installation" - but there is that older CMSMS!

I have backup of all files, could I later upload some of those files? Pics, pages and such?

I'm happy if you can help me with advices. Sorry about the newbie questions
