After a failed attempt a few time ago (see this post:https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=73151&forum=74) I tried again to upgrade my site from 2.4.5 to 2.5.0.

I literally followed instruction inhttps://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=5881 but without any success.

In fact, if I connect to my site's base url I get the error:


Fatal error: Class 'XoopsPreload' not found in /sitename/index.php on line 24

If I connect to /sitename/upgrade/ I get a blan page (also after having created an .htaccess file with the line "php_flag display_errors on" I continue to see nothing but the blank page.

If I connect to /sitename/upgrade/upd-2.4.x-to-2.5.0/, that looks more promising, I get the message:

Fatal error: Class 'xoopsUpgrade' not found in /sitename/upgrade/upd-2.4.x-to-2.5.0/index.php on line 22

Of course, I coudn't find anywhere the classes reported as missing.

I don't know what to do, but it looks like someone succeeded in upgrading the software: how?

I don't like very much to have rebuilding the site from scratch in order to upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

There i something wrong with your server or old xoops installation
Many of my website are upgraded from 2.4.5 to 2.5.

It seems that you are missing some files, and did you use the fullpackage or only the upgrade?

Upgrade from fullpackage is easy just copy all the files except the mainfile.php and install directory
run the upgrade from the upgrade directory and refresh your system module thats all

This is SCAM!!!!

Administrators please take action on this guy

Don't worry - all spam is / will be deleted - sometimes it takes a little bit longer as we are not always here 24/7

For example, I am right now in Europe on vacation and don't have frequent access to the Web. Besides - it's my vacation

I used the upgrade package

Nice to know! I believed that upgrading from the full package were far more complicated, to say the least.

I'll try as soon as possible.

Thank you very much.

I followed your advice and everything worked without any problem: I easily upgraded from 2.4.5 to 2.5.0, the to 2.5.1a with the supplied upgrade package.

Now it looks that everything is fine on the site.

Thank you very much for your great advice: I wish you the best for all your sites!
