I just upgraded to 1.6.4 and everything during the upgrade process ran smoothly.  I then re-installed the Forums software, as stated in the upgrade instructions.

When I try and access the site I just get a blank screen.  I also tried the control panel, and it is just a blank screen too.  I did a “View Source” in my browser, and there isn’t any HTML at all.

Any idea what might’ve gone wrong?  I double checked permissions, and everything looked fine.

As it was important for me to get the site back online, I had to revert to the backup (which launched fine.)

Any thoughts would be appreciated before I attempt this again.

Hello everyone:

I’ve done several upgrades since 1.4.2 and right now I am trying to install upgrade 1.6.4 and I receive the following error:

I have backed-up the config.php and config_bak.php as well as path.php

They have the right permissions.

The files have content, they’re not blanks.

I cannot get to run the script. It is kicking the same error message.

I’d appreciate your prompt help

p.s. I can send you my config.php and path.php if you need to see it.

Did you guys get this sorted? I seem to be having the same issue on a site I’m trying to get upgraded now.

MySQL ERROR:

Error Number: 1050

Description: Table ‘exp_member_search’ already exists

Query: CREATE TABLE `exp_member_search` ( `search_id` varchar(32) NOT NULL, `search_date` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `keywords` varchar(200) NOT NULL, `fields` varchar(200) NOT NULL, `member_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `ip_address` varchar(16) NOT NULL, `total_results` int(8) unsigned NOT NULL, `query` text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`search_id`), KEY `member_id` (`member_id`) )

My site is offline at the moment and I don’t know what I need to do next in order to complete the upgrade and have it know it completed the upgrade. I’ve tried these upgrades at least 3 times with versions between 1.5.2 and 1.6.4 and given up. Today I want to get this done right. Please help.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2932185 bytes) in /home/...system/cp/cp.mt_import.php on line 934

Btw, I followed the path example provided: ../mt_file.txt

Help?

This wouldn’t be so bad if I could just delete the Subcategories, but the Entries in these newly created Subcategories don’t show up in the regular Categories.

I have 1300 entries, so it’s not something I want to fix manually. Can I delete the database, create a new one, start importing from scratch, and avoid this? Or not?

Thank you.

I am getting a very strange behavior after uploading a fresh EE software to my server. After uploading all the software files, either when I try run the install.php or index.php, a download window opens up to force download the .php file. This never happened to me before. I want the site to display and not to force download the .php file. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

i keep having problems with login to my ee installations.
btw.: the whole backend/frontend/with cookie/without cookie/with session id/or mixed -security/login thing is totally confusing me.

however, i have two kinds of problems:

1.
user can’t login (backend). there is no error message.
ee adds a session id to the url but the user is constantly being redirected to the backend login-screen.
i tried the config.php stuff but no luck. this is critical since i need to change something soon.

2.
user is logged in (backend).
the user is super admin. the site is offline.
but the user can’t see the site.

The weirdest thing though is:

when i use cookies only, ee parses the session id within the templates everywhere i used

{path="site_index"}

o.O
what’s that?

update:
on other ee installations i can’t log out.
i believe ee has problems if one is managing different sites
using different ee installations within the same browser.
gosh … sometimes i really like to throw ee out of the window …

these problems appear as soon as i change to »use cookie only« mode.
i’m using version 1.6.3. i have the index.php removed via .htaccess.

thanks in advance!
