Upgraded from EE 3.5.17 with one-click updater.
I have set Require user consent to set cookies? setting both on and off.
Tried on PHP versions 7.2.34 and 7.4.0.
Am I missing something or is it a bug?
@Zignature it looks like for some reason the create_date on your consent version is set to NULL.
So far, I don’t have any ideas why this could have happened. Did you spot any errors elsewhere on your system that might be related?
Didn’t spot any errors…
And create_date in exp_consent_request_versions is set to 1637419690 which is a fine timestamp.
In exp_consent_request_version_cookies there aren’t any entries. No rows at all. Could that be the problem?
I found it…
In CP -> Settings -> Consent Requests two of the standard consent requests Performance Cookies and Targeting Cookies are missing.
And, maybe more significant, the Functionality Cookies had no data in the Request field.
After copying data from the Functionality Cookies -> Request field from a fresh EE6 install and pasting it into the Functionality Cookies -> Request field of my upgraded EE6 install, the error vanished.
That’s certainly not expected. Was this an update or fresh install? If an update, which version did you update from?
Running an upgraded version of EE 6.1.6 on localhost on Windows 10 Pro. Upgraded from EE 3.5.17 with one-click updater.
As mentioned in the original post 😉
There was a glitch during the upgrade process when it reached around v6.
The page didn’t refresh and stopped. I manually refreshed the page with F5. After that the process continued.
