Plugins not adding problem

Achilles · Post by **Achilles** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 6:22 am

I have just updated to the latest snapshot of sern and it all seems to work fine execpt I am unable to add new plugins. I can edit the plugins already on the list but when I go to install a new one and hit save, it does not add it to anything. I says at the bottem "Settings saved at (date)" but does nothing.

If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appriciated. Thank you

Can you browser your serendipity_plugins table and see if a 'path' column exists? If not, the DB upgrade failed, and I'll post you further information if you tell me your PHP+DB version/type and how you made the update.

Yeah I am not seeing a path in the table.

The site in on PHP4 and Mysql. I did the update a backwards way. I used the latest build files to do an install over the old build. I was hoping this would add the right DB entries, but it looks like it missed a few.

Thank you.

Also, when I change to some of the themes it just makes the index blank. This might have something to do with the bad install I did though.

Achilles, yes you did it wrong. *g* Please look at our Documentation to see how an update properly works - we added a automatic upgrader for exact those purposes, to upgrade your DB.

You'll need to run the sql/db_update*.sql files for the appropriate version steepping now manually

Regards and good luck,

I tried running the upgrade.sh file but all I got was errors and it would quit. I will run the update.sql files though, I am upgrading from 7.1 but I do not see any steps from 7.1 to another version.

Again using "0.8-alpha11 and PHP 4.3.10"

Which files do I do the update from?

Thanks

The upgrade.sh method is mainly thought for backing up files...the whole upgrade process is layed out in all of our documentation files, and the upgrade.sh file has been deprecated in current versions...

There must be db_update_0.7.1_0.8-alpha1.sql or files like that in your sql/ folder, they are in our CVS. There are severals of them, you need to run each file in succession until you'Re at the latest version stepping.
