Followed all instructions including re-installing MSM, and upgrading all third-party plug-ins
Getting white screen after agreeing to Terms. I tried renaming system folder back to ‘system’ but then I can’t run the installer. This may be due to my htaccess redirects, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to upgrade without undoing all the work on redirects and removing index.php, etc. After failed upgrade, home page is blank, but with debugging on says…

Warning: require_once(/www/[account]/public_html/[systemfolder]/core/CodeIgniter.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/[account]/public_html/[domain].com/index.php on line 206

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/www/[account]/public_html/[systemfolder]/core/CodeIgniter.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php’) in /www/[account]/public_html/[domain].com/index.php on line 206

It seems like those paths are not based on the directory structure of 2.1, so this may also suggest redirects or path issues.

cp home says…
Your system folder path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open the following file and correct this: admin.php

I’ve rolled everything back, and not sure how to proceed. Thanks for any help!

Yes it appears that some add-ons are not compatible with EE 2.1. You’d have to upgrade your third-party add-ons, roll back the database, then try the update again.

You can read more about those path issues here.

Do I need to roll back the database if the upgrade never happened? i.e., white screen after accepting terms.

Yes, please do. Your db might still have been partially changed.

Sadly, i backed up the wrong database so i cannot roll back the db. When I remove all the 2.1 files and restore the 2.02, everything works fine in the old version. When I re-upload all the new 2.1 files, change my system directory name back to ‘system’, and go to /system, it just lets me log in to the old cp as if nothing had changed. how do i force the installer to run again?

draymond,

When I re-upload all the new 2.1 files, change my system directory name back to ‘system’, and go to /system, it just lets me log in to the old cp as if nothing had changed.

What version and build is in your control panel footer?
What version is in system/expressionengine/config/config.php?

how do I force the installer to run again

Lets see if your db was updated first.

Tools -> Data -> MySQL Manager

If you browse into exp_member_groups can you see a column called can_access_fieldtypes

Hi John:
Now that I have rolled back…
v2.0.2pb01 - Build: 20100415
$config[‘app_version’] = “202pb01”;

Yes, I see the can_access_fieldtypes in exp_member_groups

draymond, it looks like your database is up to 2.1 then. You can put the 2.1 files back in place. Does that work?

Brandon: After starting over from scratch, the upgrade seemed to work fine all the way through. Now when I go to my MSM site’s home page I get…

Warning: require_once(/www/[account]/public_html/[systemfolder]/core/CodeIgniter.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/[account]/public_html/[domain].com/index.php on line 206

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/www/[account]/public_html/[systemfolder]/core/CodeIgniter.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php’) in /www/[account]/public_html/[domain].com/index.php on line 206

note: it seems to be working from my main domain, but getting the above errors from the secondary domain.

After some tweaking, I have things working now.
1. Copied the new index.php into my secondary site root
3. Set the system_path variable in index.php in the system folder back to blank, so that only the index.php files in my site root and secondary site root are set to the new system folder name
2. Reset the variables for MSM…
$assign_to_config[‘site_name’] = ‘shortname’;
$assign_to_config[‘cp_url’] = ‘http://www.domain.com/systemfolder’;
$assign_to_config[‘site_url’] = ‘http://www.domain.com’;

draymond,

that’s exactly what I was gonna suggest you do 😉

Glad you are up and running again.Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
