Updated an EE 2.6.1 site and got this error message

A Database Error Occurred
You must use the “set” method to update an entry.

Filename: updates/ud_270.php

Line Number: 1051

An suggestion for steps that would help to finish the update.

I was updating a v2.5.5 site to v2.7 and encountered the same error. Any ideas?

Update: FWIW, I tried logging into my site’s CP, and was able to get to the front page, where I see this message:

Your ExpressionEngine installation’s version (2.6.1) is not consistent with the reported version (2.7.0). Please update your installation of ExpressionEngine again.

I can access other pages in the CP, but can’t publish/edit channel entries.

Also, I’m running PHP v5.3.2 and MySQL v5.1.69.

Hi all,

Sorry you had this problem. Here’s a fix.

Open system/installer/updates/ud_270.php and ADD this code ABOVE line 1050:

if (empty($data))
{
    return;
}

Then re-run the updater and you should be good to go.

That solved it for me. Thanks for the help.

Thank You. Works.

I did this as instructed above, and I get this message:

An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load the requested class: shortlist_model

when I do not follow the instructions in this thread, I get this message:

I’m not sure what could have happened in the past few days, from sep 2 until now, but my hosting service is compatable according to the ee update wizard script.

Hey Ward,

After experiencing Werner’s problem and applying Kevin’s patch to ~/system/installer/updates/ud_270.php and then attempting to upgrade I encountered the same issue due to having the Shortlist module installed.

My workaround (since I didn’t have any shortlists in use at the time):

1. Temporarily rename your ~/system/installer folder to ~/system/installer.bak
2. Open your Control Panel (admin.php) and Remove the Add ons > Modules >Shortlist
—NOTE: THIS MAY OR MAY NOT CAUSE YOU TO LOSE ANY LISTS SAVED OR OTHER ATTRIBUTES SAVED BY SHORTLIST IN THE DATABASE
3. Rename your ~/system/installer.bak to ~/system/installer
4. Visit the Control Panel again (admin.php). This should now be the ExpressionEngine upgrade screen.
5. Complete the steps to upgrade EE (including removal of the ~/system/installer folder upon completions of the upgrade)
6. Open your Control Panel (admin.php) and Install the Add ons > Modules >Shortlist
7. Profit!

Hopefully this works for you too.
