i’m sure this will make some laugh, but in trying to upgrade my version of EE, i cannot find my /system/ folder.  i’m running 1.4.2

thanks and cheers—

halloweencat, if you view your path.php file, you’ll find something similar to this:

$system_path = "./system/";

In this case, the /system directory is where my folder is. Yours may be different.

Did that help?

sue, hey 😊

i think i figured it out while you were posting…my system directory is what i named it…it had all the folders within it that i was supposed to update according to the update instructions, yes?

the thing i cannot find at the moment is the single file “update.php” from the unzipped files i downloaded for my update.

it’s the second to last thing to copy, before the system/utilities folder.

cheers 😊

update.php is in the /system directory. That’s where it is in the downloadable .zip file.

thanks, i found it.  😊

it wouldn’t show in the ftp window in which i was working—that window apparently only shows folders, not files.  i found it in another window.

thanks and cheers 😊

hey sue 😊

i was running through the updates and everything was going well (1.4.2 to 1.5x and so on)...until i got to 1.6 to 1.6.1

i got this error message…

Error: The following error was encountered
MySQL ERROR:

Error Number: 1060

Description: Duplicate column name ‘ip_address’

Query: ALTER TABLE `exp_mailing_list` ADD `ip_address` VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL AFTER `list_id`

what’s my next move?

thanks and cheers 😊

There is only one change for ip_address in 161, did you get interrupted previously or something?

nope.

cheers—

At this point, it’s time to go line by line through the changes that need to be made.

line by line…that sounds daunting.  with what file should i begin?

cheers 😊
