I am upgrading a client’s site from 2.5.3 to 2.6.1 and it seems to successfully update to 2.6.0 and then starts upgrading to 2.6.1 but refreshes to a blank screen instead.
The URL in the title bar of the browser is http://site.com/system/index.php?C=wizard&M=do_update&agree=yes&language=english&ajax_progress=yes
When I delete/rename the installer folder and log into the admin I get the following error:
Your ExpressionEngine installation’s version (2.6.0) is not consistent with the reported version (2.6.1). Please update your installation of ExpressionEngine again.
I have followed the steps in the upgrade documentation to the letter. I put the site offline, cleared the cache, copied over all 2.6.1 files, replaced the config, template, and third party files, verified file permissions, and ran the updater.
If I try to run the updater again, I just get the blank screen again.
I am running the website locally using MAMP and their actual domain name, testing locally before performing the upgrade on their actual website.
Any ideas on why the update is failing?
