Help.

Upgraded today from 6.14 to 6.15

Made all as described in upgrade.txt.

Finally at #10 I have to call www.example.com/update.php. This results in WSoD

If I try www.example.com/en/update.php I get: Page can not be found

I've tried to restore the old htaccess - no luck....

So what to do now???? Any idea anyone?

I really start to panic right now!

What do your server error logs say?

Thx for your reply...

There is no error logged during the past hours... Nada...

I must add that the whole site is working fine so the admin area... It's just that I cannot run updates.php

I tried to restore the old update.php -> same problem

To all greenhorns (like me) who may run in similar troubles one day...

Being a bit tired I forgot to upload the Modules Dir (Core Modules). This way it couldn't work..

Thx for your time...

Also did the upgrade today and found it rather tedious and laborious.
Partly because I had to backup so much and got busy with other stuff whilst waiting for backup to complete (so some of it my fault)

I did not know which modules I had downloaded and which ones were default so I disabled all of them

As soon as I deleted the content of the directory obviously there was no site available (therefore unexpected downtime)

Also did nut copy the user module back after new files had been extracted so had an error

Then had to re install all modules and a few more errors.

worst part is, now that it is complete, the update module still reckons I have 614 installed and not 615

Might this be because I copied all the files in the root directory back (including .htaccess and robots.txt) enstead of modifying them?

Any help will be appreciated

Look forward to the day when a new release can auto update itself with the update script!!

TIA

Well... welcome to the club... After solving my issue above my system still insists on having 6.14 installed, too...

I mentioned this in http://drupal.org/node/662876.

Now I'm courious (somewhat excited) about how many other user would have similar issues with this update...

I would advise that you change the status to active again.

yeah - make sure you save the .htaccess file. i got the WSOD too, until i remembered
that the new install copied over the old .htaccess. restoring a new one did the trick.
