Upgrading Problem [solved]

Post by slloyd »

I just upgraded from 0.13 to 1.0.2 and all seemed to be fine until I logged out and tried to log back in. For some reason, it's taking me to a URL ending in /install/upgrade.php, which of course has been deleted, so I get a 404.

Why would it be taking me to this page?

Also, my menu is missing. Any ideas? It was originally created using the Menu Manager. All the info is there (the menu manager file and the code in the template to call it).

I even tried re-uploading everything and starting over again, but I get the same result. What am I missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Running /install/upgrade.php is one of the steps of the upgrade process.
Normally it takes you to the page when you login to the admin and an upgrade is necessary.
What do you get when the install folder from the 1.0.2 package is present?

For the menu you probably used the cssmenu-accessible.tpl template, see this thread.

When it's there, I get a message stating that the install folder is still there and needs to be deleted. When I delete it, I get what I told you in the last post.

I didn't use the accessible template.

I've done this same upgrade before on one of my sites and had no problems at all.

I think I'm going to delete the entire thing and start over since the site has no real content on it yet (I just set it up).

I had the same problem on a site, fixed it by putting the install folder back in and then it ran the upgrade.php and found out the shema(?sp) had not been uploaded fully, when the upgrade ran this time all came out good ;)...

I tried that twice. It still didn't fix it; although I'm still not sure what "Navigate to [such and such file]" means.

Where did you see this?... "Navigate to [such and such file]"...

Yes, when the install folder is present you get that message (to delete it) in the admin.
But, you shouldn't delete it before you have finnished the upgrade process (step 4) by navigating to http://yoursite/path/to/cmsms/install/upgrade.php (by accessing/viewing it in a browser) to do any database upgrades necessary.

Oooooooh, that's what the instructions mean by "navigate to..." duh. Okay, thank you. I'll try that!

Mark, it says that in the instructions on the cms site.
