Failed Upgrade to 5.5
 

Just tried to upgrade from 5.3 to 5.5 and got the following when running the upgrade.php file. I now get a blank page when trying to login to photopost. Any ideas before I make things any worse.:confused:

Preparing to update database...

Upgrade complete! You may now remove the upgrade.php script.

duplicate entry just means you ran the upgrade more than once.

some more info here would assist us like url to your install integration type etc. You did not replace your config files right? If your integrating with vb3 make sure your $vbpath is correct. This will cause a white page.

Sorry Chuck it was late when I first posted.

More info then:-
I copied all the 5.5 update files to the correct folders on my 5.3 installation. I then ran the upgrade.php file and received the message in my above post(this was on the first run of upgrade.php). I then tried to access my site and received a white but blank screen. On reading some posts on this forum I though maybe I should copy my original config files back, but this did not help, I ran the upgrade.php again with my original config files, no different.
If I add the index.php to the end of the url I receive the following message,
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: update_whoonline() in /homepages/5/d161531532/htdocs/photopost/pp-inc.php on line 484

My installation is at http://www.trackaction-online.co.uk/photopost/

PS: My forum is phpbb and uses the same mysql database, I didn't close the forum before upgrade but I did close photopost.

You need to make sure you have uploaded all the new files. The error your posting tells me you have not uploaded all the files.

Phew..Thanks I've uploaded all the files again and I can now gain access, do I need to run the update.php again? The site does look different so I'm assuming the update is now applied.

You should be fine you already upgraded the database

I've Just noticed that when I try to access any images I get the following error message.
Is this because I have the board set to closed or is this some other type of problem?

We're sorry, but the system experienced an unrecoverable error. Please try again later.

Script:

Query: SELECT id,user,userid,cat,storecat,storeid,date,title,description,keywords,bigimage,width,
height,filesize,views,medwidth,medheight,medsize,approved,rating,extra1,extra2,extra3,extra4,
extra5,extra6,disporder,ipaddress,allowprint,allowrate,allowcoms FROM pp_photos WHERE id=92

Result: Unknown column 'allowrate' in 'field list'

Database handle: Resource id #6

Your missing a column rerun the 5.3-5.5 upgrade

Yep, that works fine, your a genius mate, thanks very much.

Just one last little question, I now need to add "\index.php" to the end of my URL, previously I didn't need to do this, any idea?

Depends on your site do you have an htaccess on your main web root with something like this in it?

Directory Index index.php

I can't find one, but that file name does ring a bell with me. No big issue though I can work around it.

Thanks again for all your help.

You need to create a file named .htaccess and put it in your web root with the line I noted above being the contents of that said file.
