How to easily update from 2.8.1 to 2.8.2

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

again, wich upgrade instructions did you follow? You are here in the thread from upgrading 2.8.1 to 2.8.2. The instructions here only work for this version upgrade. To upgrade from 2.7 to 2.8.2 you have to do other steps.

run the install script.

for to upgrade you must run the upgrade-script. Using the install-script breaks your installation.

For to giv you a really help please ask the following questions?

Wich files did you download from where to upgrade your Installation?
Wich script did you run to upgrade your installation?

Trying to upgrade a 2.7. version with the changeg package file for upgrading 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 cannot work and will break your installation, also using install script instead of upgrade-script will also break your installation.

The more information you give us, the more we can help.

This is what I did.
I followed the instructions from:
 http://www.websitebaker2.org/en/download/latest-version/upgrade.php

For version 2.7 to 2.81, then I ran the upgrade script (not install).
Maybe the problem was that I followed these instructions, but downloaded the 2.8.2 version? Where can I find the 2.81. version?

Thanks,
Leora

Hello,

now it is a little bit clearer. Hmm but how to fix your issues? Not shure if it works but try the following:

1.) Download WebsiteBaker 2.8.2SP2
2.) Unzip it to your lokal Computer
3.) Delete the install folder and the config.php and/or config.php.new files from this package
4.) Login with ftp to your webspace
5.) Delete the following folders on your webspace:
- the admin folder
- the includes/codepress folder
- the modules/fckeditor folder
- the modules/reload folder
- the modules/backup folder
6.) Upload the package from your computer to your webspace
7.) Check if all files on your webspace are overwritten with the new ones from your package
8.) Run the upgrade-script.

This procedure should give you a working 2.8.2SP2 version of WB.

Thanks. I just installed 2.8.1 and it worked.

Now I have another problem though. My site's index created by start.php is now showing up in a little iframe as opposed to the whole screen, that was not in an iframe before.

Do you know why?

Thanks,
Leora

Hi everyone,

I am kind of confused: Does the WebsiteBaker-2.8.2_changed_files.zip archive contain the original 2.8.2 update without any service packs or just SP1? I've just updated my wb installations and would like to know what version I am running now.

Could you maybe document what version the update archives contian. Further if this is not SP2 (which it is definetly not b/c the version in the backend is 2.8.2 for me and not SP2) what is the best way to update to SP2?

Thanks for the hard work!

Kind regards
Dennis

Hello,

Does the WebsiteBaker-2.8.2_changed_files.zip archive contain the original 2.8.2 update without any service packs

Yes, it does not include the Service Packs. But i will update the package in the next few hours. So you can use it for an update from 2.8.1 to the latest 2.8.2 SP2 with only using the changed_files Package.

Sorry that i forgot to actualize.

Have fun
Matthias

Hi,

can I also use the changed files archive (as soon as it has been updated to SP2) to upgrade from 2.8.2 to 2.8.2 SP2 (the installation has already been upgrade from 2.8.1 to 2.8.2)? Or what is the intended update process from 2.8.2 SP0 to SP2?

Has the changed files archive been updated to SP2?

Kind regards
Dennis

Hello,

upgraded the changed_files package to the latest version. It includes now SP2 and the hotfix 2011/11/29. You can download it here:

WebsiteBaker-2.8.2_changed_files.zip

You can use this package to upgrade all versions since 2.8.1 to the latest WB-Version. Simply follow the instructions from the beginning of this thread:

http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,21997.msg148129.html#msg148129

Have fun
Matthias

P.S. @Mips
you can also use it to upgrade from 2.8.2(SP0) to 2.8.2SP2. Unzip the package, upload all files to your webspace and run the upgrade-script.

Great! Thanks!

Kind regards

GELÖST: DOCH falsche PHP-Version!

Hallo Matthias,

ich habe auch ein Problem beim Updaten von der 281 auf die 282 - und ich bin ein "Anweisungsfolger
Der Aufruf der upgrade-script.php bringt nur eine leere Seite, die config.php ist aber mit den richtigen Daten gefüllt.
Die PHP-Version war beim ersten Aufruf noch 4.4.9 - jetzt 5.2.17, Browsercache gelöscht, kein anderes Ergebnis.
Sämtliche mir zur Verfügung stehenden Browser- und Betriebssysteme durchprobiert - immer das gleiche Ergebnis...

Ich habe die Update-Files genommen und auch schon 3 mal hochgeladen, falls eine Datei nicht korrekt angekommen sein sollte.

Kannst Du mir noch einen Tipp geben? Vielen Dank!

Der Solluh

Modified: Ich benutze natürlich die "upgrade-script.php", und nicht, wie im Ursprungspost die "update-script.php".

Der Aufruf der update-script.php bringt nur eine leere Seite,

Ein Schreibfehler hier oder ein Lesefehler?
Es sollte upgrade-script.php heißen.

[solluh]

Ich rufe die richtige Datei auf. Das habe ich überprüft, denn wenn ich in der upgrade-script.php etwas ändere (z.B. eine Zeile mit Quatsch eintrage) erhalte ich statt einer leeren Seite eine Fehlermeldung.

Beim Aufruf der Seite ohne "update-script.php kommt der Fehler
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW in /homepages/XXXXXXX/htdocs/wb/framework/initialize.php on line 22"

TNX again,
der Solluh

Edit: jetzt habe ich es verstanden, ich hatte im Ursprungspost "update" statt "upgrade" geschrieben... 
Aber das war nur ein Schreibfehler, ja.

[ruebenwurzel]

Hallo,

das Problem von Solluh ist inzwischen gelöst. Es lag schlicht und einfach daran, dass auf dem Webspace noch PHP 4.x lief. Nach Umstellen auf PHP 5.x ist das upgrade ohne Fehler durchgelaufen.

HI

!!!! Problem SOLVED! (i had to update the files again under (admin/pages and admin/users) apparently they had not been overwritten even if thats what I chosed.

I have just updated from 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 - and the page looks like it is working fine, except when I go to any page and press "Change settings" of "manage sections"  then it just goes back to "pages", and I can´t change the settings or do anything with sections.

(+ the same under groups/access - here it just goes back to the first Access page) ?


Does anyone know how i can fix this.

Hi, Is there any updated instruction on how to update 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 or 2.10? Sorry if my version is too old.
