    Hello,

    I have been following the instructions page (updating from 1.x to 2.x) but the result is this:

    Welcome to the ExpressionEngine Installation and Update wizard.

    This utility enables ExpressionEngine to be installed for the first time or updated from an older version.


    Next step >

    All pre-installation tests have been completed successfully and no errors were detected.

    If you are ready to install ExpressionEngine version 2.1.0 click the link below:

    Click here to install a brand new copy of ExpressionEngine


    For some reason there is no option to update.


    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Atenua,

    Per the update instructions, you’ll need to restore your config.php from 1.x to system/expressionengine/config/

    Then you should see the upgrade option. Does that do it?

    Hi Brandon,

    Before posting I restored the config.php file and I uploaded it to the server following the instructions. I have checked that step again and for some strange reason that file was empty.

    Right now everything is ok and I have EE 2.1 in front of me.

    Thanks!

    Great! Don’t hesitate with further questions, of course.
