WebsiteBaker Support (2.12.x) > General Help & Support

Upgrading to 12.2.2 from 2.8.3

<< < (4/6) > >>

Thank you hgs, it would be great if someone could update the instructions from https://WebsiteBaker.org/pages/posts/wb-2-12-1-stable-version-published12.php to warn that:

1) PHP Version 7.x is needed BEFORE running the unzip.php
2) Admin MUST HAVE ID 1 or he wont be able to login to the backend to run the upgrade script

The upgrade script did fix all the messed things, although the products on my Bakery catalog and some other pages had accented characters messed up. I searched and replaced most of them via phpMyAdmin. It would be great to have some instructions to avoid this.

I will continue checking the site tomorrow, hopefully this helps others in their upgrade process.

This is not necessary, I recently moved two ancient pages from 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 to 2.12.2 with php 5.6.
Switching to php7.x is not necessary.
To 2)
We have included this important information in the zip under /DOKU/README_EN.md.

Hello hgs and dbs, thank you for your replies. For some reason, my upgrade didn't work with php 5.6, there were several errors. It went ok when I changed to php 7, who knows then why in my case it didn't work. But if someone else has issues maybe this helps.

Regarding #2, I know it says to login as superadmin (ID 1) but in my case the superadmin for some reason wasn't ID 1 but ID 3. I changed it to ID 1 because the instructions said that the superadmin ID was #1 but I didn't really thought that would be the reason it wasn't allowing me to login. So I just thought that to make the instructions more clear, it could be rephrased to something like "make sure your super admin has ID 1 or you won't be able to login after the upgrade. If it's not ID 1, you can change it via phpMyAdmin" or something like that.

Cheers!

dbs:
Please try to understand. Only the admin with ID 1 is the SuperAdmin.
All other admins|id's are normal admins and have no access to e.g. the email settings in the advanced WB settings.
It means you was not the SuperAdmin until now. :)
