CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I tried to upgrade from 2.1.6 to 2.2.2. Installation stopped at step 8.

- Tried with both Chrome and Firefox
- Tried with ?debug=1 but didn’t see any error messages on the page and installation stopped again at step 8. Not sure if the server blocks those...?
- Tried also 2.2.
- Have two other sites in the same server and they updated fine
- I can view the 300 error logs, but it’s empty
- Even the upgrade process stopped, the site actually works. Only thing I noticed was that if I try to install modules, I get an error message that says that I should upgrade CMSMS to latest version.
- Site info attached

Please, don’t move (again) this topic to some not so meaningful area. If you need more information, please ask, and I’ll give it to you. I don’t really know what to try next. And maybe there are other users who have the same problem and need of could help.

I've tried to recreate this with several 2.1.6 > 2.2.2 upgrades and various module installs and combinations, but haven't run into any problems. It could be specific to your server, a corrupt or missing file, a specific upgrade path (what version was the site originally, and how has it progressed over time), or anything else.

If you're able to send me a package of the 2.1.6 site (files + db) I could try upgrading it on my server. You can PM me a dropbox link or something.

Was fairly easy to diagnose after reading the error log: The include.php file in the root directory was leftover from an old version, most likely at one point you restored from a backup into an existing install rather than a clean folder, or an earlier upgrade failed to remove it for some reason (this has never been reported as a problem, so most likely the former.)

Delete/rename the include.php file from the root directory, and try the upgrade again. It is important to have your error logging set up correctly!

Thanks Digi3, I'll delete the file and try again.

Same issue with my setup. I scanned the entire database for the ids stated in the error message, and cant find the records in the database. Any idea what the ids refer to?

What do you mean?... nothing in the solution to this issue had to do with ids but with file leftovers...
If this is not the same issue, open a new topic instead of hijacking other peoples' posts.
