I tried to upgrade my site to 2.2.3 and I had some serious problems. if someone could answer any of my questions, it would be most appreciated. I followed the upgrade instructions but after upgrading, every page on the site was blank... [b]with no debug phperror messages[/b]. i tried going to admin.php and recovery.php manually but with no luck. after that, i attempted to downgrade and followed the patch's instructions but using downgrade.php came up with nothing but a blank page. Does it matter that XOOPS isn't installed on my home directory? Also, I turned my site off to visitors before attempting the upgrade. Could that have caused anything to go wrong? After all these problems, I wiped my database and restored with a backup. everything is working fine now except that whenever a user logs in or makes a post, the "thanks for your submission" page doesn't automatically redirect and you have to use the "click here" link. Does anyone know why that would happen? www.slopeanime.com/main user : testing pass : testing123 ----Here is my server/xoops info: XOOPS Version: 2.0.13.1 Operating system: FreeBSD Kernel version: 5.4-RELEASE Apache version: 1.3.34 (Unix) PHP version: 4.4.1 MySQL version: 4.0.26 Theme you are using: MontisArts halo2 Custom template: (No) PHP Debug Messages: None (completely blank page) MySQL Debug Messages: None Smarty Debug Messages: None Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read the long post. -Mantooth[/quote] Click the Preview to see the content in action.

Better stay away from the 2.2.X versions...

Thanks! I uploaded a new version of that file and it works great.

i'm feeling better about this upgrade problem. because now i can test it on my computer and even if it messes up on the server i can restore things perfectly.

Your redirect screen is incomplete.

If you look at the source you only have
Quote:

<div style="text-align:center; background-color: transparent; border-top: 0px solid #FFFFFF; border-left: 0px solid #FFFFFF; border-right: 0px solid #AAAAAA; border-bottom: 0px solid #AAAAAA; font-weight : bold;">
<h4>Thank you for logging in, testing.</h4>
<p>If the page does not automatically reload, please click <a href='http://www.slopeanime.com/main/modules/news/'>here</a></p>
</div>

The complete set of metatags is missing.

Go into templates and check how system_redirect.html looks in your database.

Does it contain these lines:

Quote:

00001: <html>
00002: <head>
00003: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<{$xoops_charset}>" />
00004: <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="<{$time}>; url=<{$url}>" />
00005: <title><{$xoops_sitename}></title>
00006: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<{$xoops_themecss}>" />
00007: </head>
00008: <body>

Especially without line 0004 its obvious why it does not redirect automaticly.

Maybe regenerating this template helps (clear templates_c again after doing so).

In the original package the file is located here:
\html\modules\system\templates\system_redirect.html

yea, i backed up my files before upgrading and restored them before attempting to downgrade like the instructions said. nothing worked until i imported the backup of my old database though.

my main concern at this point is getting the page redirection to work again after reverting to the backup. If i get that fixed, i'll at least feel comfortable knowing that i can get everything back the way it was before i attempt to upgrade again.

i'll try xampp and play around upgrading on my computer in the meantime

if anyone can tell me how to get the page redirection to work again i'd REALLy appreciate it.

Any entries in the servers error.log?

Since its not perfectly clear from your post:

Did you also backup the files and deleted/restored them?

How about downloading your site and using xampp or something to play around with the upgrade process localy?

Here is a list of different versions to find one that matches or comes close to your php/mysql combination.
