I have an old site running on EE 1.6.9 with catalog/files structure:

/backend
/eminders
/files
/forms
/images
/onlineserve
/path.php
/php
/site
/themes
/tinymce
/uploads
index.php
path.php
sitemap.xml

where system folder is located in the /onlineserve and admin access in the /backend.

I have uploaded system, themes and index.php in the root directory based on directions from here http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/installation/upgrade_from_1.x.html

After that update the site is not loading (blank screen, no errors, no source code displayed).

Any idea what can be wrong?

Thanks

PS.

I can login to the back end which sill shows as 1.6.9

After enabling debug mode I’m getting that error:

A Database Error Occurred

Error Number: 1146

Table 'cmg_forms.sites' doesn't exist

SELECT * FROM (`sites`) WHERE `site_id` = 1

Filename: core/EE_Config.php

Line Number: 211

And the back end is stuck on a white screen with a URL /admin.php?C=wizard&M=license&language=english

OK, I’m few steps further. I was able to fix issue with previous stuck URI and passed through two more screens - License Agreement and Trackback Conversion and Archiving Options but next step came with error:

A Database Error Occurred

Error Number: 1060

Duplicate column name ‘can_search’

ALTER TABLE exp_member_groups ADD COLUMN can_search char(1) NOT NULL default ‘n’

Filename: updates/ud_009.php

Line Number: 112

Any clue?

Thanks

So, after digging deeper I found that site is using two installations of EE.

First - /backend is responsible for regular pages and blog as well as access to the EE admin section (“local” DB). Content of /backend

/cache
/core
/cp
/db
/dictionary
/extensions
/fonts
/language
/lib
/modules
/plugins
/templates
/translations
/utilities
config.php
index.html
index.php

Second - /site is responsible for pages with forms (“remote” DB). Content of /site:

/css
/help
/images
/js
/license.txt
.htaccess
cron.php
index.php
install.txt

Maybe this will help? Thanks

Update: I was able to upgrade /backend to 2.5.3. Still doesn’t know what to do with /site part :\

Hi CMG Dev,

Be on the lookout for an email from me. I think the best thing here is going to be for us to have a first-hand look at this one.

Thanks!

Just checking to make sure you got my email. Need me to send it again?
