Problems with 10.2

posts: 138

I am upgrading from 2.2 to 10.2. I have 10.0 working on an old notebook and have now tried to update my web site.

I have made a separate MySQL database and uploaded the files to a separate directory. I have checked the file upload by downloading the whole tree and comparing the files. There were some errors, but I have fixed them.

(My internet connection has been poor recently, and I think that caused some FTP errors.)

I know that my old and new version might use the same cookies, so I have been careful to delete them before testing with the new version.

At present, it seems to work if I do not log in.

When I log in as admin, it cannot display the page tiki-index.php. It just shows a white screen with no error messages.

If I enter tiki-admin.php in the address line, it can display this page, but most of the admin pages do not work. They never show error messages. They are just blank.

I have been trying things out a low level, although I am not an expert on PHP or Smarty.

In my opinion, there is a problem in smarty_function_preference. I have hacked this, to that it returns a fixed text, and now the admin pages usually display (but are of course useless).

Some of the preferences worked anyway, but on the look and feel page, it starts going wrong with feature_jquery_ui_theme and a little later with available_styles.

Can I turn on some debugging features?

It's very frustrating when the browser just shows a white page.

Has anybody an idea what is going wrong?

Hello Phil;

I didn't find references in your posts to having changed the PHP version to 5.3 or higher....give that a try if you haven't already.

Cheers,
Robert

Hi,

thanks Robert. I think it was PHP 5.3.

I actually gave up and moved my web site to a different provider where it worked immediately.
