    • 1.8 -> 1.9 upgrade

    Posted by thijs posts: 2

    Hi,

    I have tried to upgrade my 1.8.5 tiki to 1.9.0.
    I tried to update my database using the tiki-install.php script.
    The result is that the site isn't working..

    One odd thing is that the upgraded database has 193 tables, and when I setup a new 1.9.0 database it has 194 tables.
    Does anyone know of this issue or knows how to resolve it?

    great thanks,

    Thijs

    edit: after quite a search I think it was missing tiki_features, I added that table but its still not working

    If my understanding is correct, you have to also replace the 1.8.5 files w/ 1.9's. That's why make sure you take backups of both files and db.

    by using phpMyAdmin, executing tiki_1.8to1.9.sql in the tiki db should upgrade the tables.

    Hi,

    always try to give more detailed information: Does the site show any error messages? Are there any error messages in the php/apache log? "Site is not working" is not a known error message.

    thanks for the response,

    @ redflo: when I try /tiki/tiki-index.php I get a blank screen, so no error messages whatsoever.

    @Sridhar Katakam I replaced the files, i did made a backup (*phew* 😉) and executed that sql script.

    yesterday there was someone in the IRC chat with the same problem, but I had to leave...

    is there any error message in the apache/php logfiles?

    I had the exact same problem when trying to upgrade from 1.8.5 to 1.9DR4. I only have ftp access to my web host, so it is a little tricky for me. I got the database upgraded with only a couple of problems. I set the directory attributes per the instructions for install TikiWiki with ftp. Then, I went to the tiki-install.php and the screen is blank. I blew away the database and tried again. Still a blank screen. I then tried to restore my back up, but that wasn't successful. I then re-installed 1.8.5 and started over.

    I really want to upgrage to 1.9.0 because I want the logo and the improbed phplayers. I will try again later.

    The Developer Releases had a problem with the .htaccess files. Some apaches did not allow the directves that were in .htaccess. But they are no more in final release. Other problems possible too ...
