Upgrade from 1.3.1 to 1.4 fails during database upgrade

[art]

Hi,
I tried to upgrade as mentioned in subject on PHP 4.4.4-8+etch6. Then requesting my site it returns

Code: Select all

Serendipity hat entdeckt, dass derzeit Version 1.3.1 verwendet wird. Jedoch wurde Version 1.4 installiert, daher müssen Sie die Installation aktualisieren!

(german installation)

following the link everything seems to run fine

Code: Select all

Willkommen beim Serendipity Aktualisierungs-Agenten
Ich möchte Ihnen gerne beim Aktualisieren der Serendipity 1.3.1 Installation helfen.
Diese Seite erscheint, da gerade Serendipity 1.4 installiert wurde, aber die Datenbank noch nicht an diese Version angepasst wurde..
Zuerst wird eine Systemdiagnose durchgeführt, um etwaigen Inkompatibilitäten oder fehlenden Modulen vorzubeugen..

Fehler werden in rot, Empfehlungen in gelb und erfolgreiche Meldungen in grün dargestellt..

Es müssen keine Aktualisierungen vorgenommen werden.

Serendipity wurde an die neue Version angepasst!

By clicking the link it results in partly error partly success message:

Code: Select all

Warning: fopen(/xx/xx/xx/xx/xx.de/s9y/serendipity_config_local.inc.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /xx/xx/xx/xx/xx.de/s9y/include/functions_installer.inc.php on line 72
Die Serendipity-Installation ist nun auf die Version 1.4 aktualisiert!

Zurück zum Blog

back to blogs leads to start page above, so in a endless loop. Tried to manually change rights of serendipity_config_local.inc.php, but didn't help.

Due to that I copied the backed up files over, website works fine, but the backend is now the 1.4 version one...

Any hint?


Thanks a lot, art

if this is the only error, your update should have worked and you can change the version in your configfile manualy (the file, that couldnt be opend)

Seems like it worked... thanks!

Hi!

There must be an error in your permissions. serendipity_config_local.inc.php is not writable, please throughly check the umask and ownership.

You are seeing this message because you are upgrading from 1.3.1 to Serendipity 1.4, but have not yet upgraded your database installation to fit this version.

All the following requirements listed below are fine. It then says you can click on the bottom to continue and now none of the pages appear to load. They say done but my blog shows nothing but a pure blank page.

Hi tizroc!

A blank page usually means that a fatal PHP error occurs. If you recently upgraded to serendipiyy 1.4, this issue on certain PHP versions might affect you:

You can fix that with the contained file.

I am very grateful for your help. I swore I followed the directions for the Smarty patch before, but apparently the pain medication from have a tooth extraction just befuddled me. Thank you for the advice, a re-check showed I was mistaken and put it in the wrong directory. (Sometimes the wonderful benifits of pain medication can screw with your linux skills, but it is better than pain!)
