This question may be related to a resolved thread.

My issue hasn’t been resolved. Here is my break down.
Running on a test server (Windows).
2.1.1 Install trying to test 2.1.3
- Backup config.php, database.php, Third Party folder in expressionengine folder, solspace theme folder and third party theme folder.
- Delete System, Theme and index.php on root.
- Copy new System, Theme and index.php.
- Replace config, database and third party backups.
- Run installer.
- Delete installer folder once completed.
- Go to the control panel and nothing is working as far as navigation goes not sure of anything else.

Current setup:
EE 2.1.1, Pixel & Tonic Matrix (2.0.11) and Wygwam (2.1.4), Solspace Freeform (3.0.3)

Make sure you have uploaded a complete set of files, including theme files. Are you removing index.php from your URLs using mod_rewrite? Try without it, if so. You might also want to disable extensions globally for testing.

If you read my post you would have seen that I am uploading a brand new set of files. The only ones I don’t are my config, database, and third party folders.

I don’t use a mod_rewrite as many posts on this forum are suggesting that it isn’t needed and that it’s more harmful to your SEO. I don’t even have an .htaccess file on the root of the test server.

I’ve managed to get to the Clear Cache tool and SQL manage pages luckily by having a link on my main navigation bar to the Pages module.

Are there flags or things you would like me to check?

Are there flags or things you would like me to check?

Can you confirm that /themes/javascript exists?

Can you double check all your file and folder permissions.

What browser are you using? Are you getting a JavaScript error?

Confirmed /themes/javascript exists.
Running this on a Windows test server.
I have tested in Firefox 3.6.13, IE 8.0.6001.18702

McCoy IT,

What folders are inside themes/cp_themes/ ?

If you view the source of your CP. Does the following similar line exist around line 29 or so?

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://testserver/themes/javascript/compressed/jquery/jquery.js?v=1292847786'></script>

Line 29 in the CP is:

charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="index.php?S=dc06d7d19d650ea9fe23351abfce29ddcf1b2d30&D=cp&C=javascript&M=load&file=css&theme=default&v=1295029652"

themes/cp_themes/
- corporate
  - css
  - images
  - fancybox
- default
  - _shared
  - menu
  - account
  - addons
  - admin
  - content
  - _assets
  - css
  - design
  - errors
  - images
  - fancybox
  - members
  - search
  - sites
  - tools

McCoy IT,

Where did the _assets and fancybox folders come from?

You may be better off deleting the cp_themes folder and replacing with the same folder from your recent version download

I am replacing all of the folders with the compiled zip file downloaded from expressionengine’s site. I will go and download another copy from the site and try this process over again.

The only files I don’t delete are the config.php, database.php and my Third Party plugins and associated theme folder.

I’ll report back with my findings.

Hi McCoy IT,

Okay, thanks. We’ll await your update.

Cheers

Well after a much needed holiday I think I had a similar issue that a few people had where it was either PHPMyAdmin or the Server failing at creating a proper SQL dump. When I brought it back in-house on the test server, I used an old backup from October 2010 to update the exp_sites table. I double checked my permissions on my computer as well.

Installed Freeform 3.0.6 before updating to 2.1.3.
Installed Pixel&Tonic; Fieldtypes, Matrix and Wygwam after 2.1.3 install. Looks like everything is working now.

Next step to update the live server with 2.1.3 hoping for the best!

Forgot to mention I installed WAMP on my local instead of a RDP session with a virtual test server that had XAMPP installed. 😊

So I take it there’s been progress. I use WAMP on my Windows machine, but it’s been a while - switched over to Macs almost exclusively. 😊 We’ll keep this open until you’ve had a chance to upgrade on the live server.
