Upgrading from beta 6 to 9

jordanjay29

jordanjay29 but there may be hiccups because it was never intended to update through 3 different versions and so this hasn't been tested.

This is kind of what I expected. I'm not really surprised about encountering problems here.

I need to leave for now, but I can try to take a look at it again tonight or tomorrow morning if someone else doesn't get here first.

SnakePromise You might be able to update to beta 9 directly, however, you'll have to perform the upgrade instructions from beta 8 (found @ https://discuss.flarum.org/d/17745-flarum-0-1-0-beta-8-released), which will require changing some directory structures.

Try that instead of importing, and if it doesn't work, do let us know. Make sure to uninstall (yes, uninstall, with composer remove) all third party extensions first though, as they may block upgrading core and/or extensions.

How do I distinguish 3rd party from 1st party extensions? 🙂

SnakePromise

OK, I'll try that as well. Although since this site is run from a subfolder, no directory structure needs to be changed (no public directory is used)? (Or should I change it, upgrade and then change it back?)

Frink

SnakePromise extensions that didn't come preinstalled with Flarum are third-party extensions. It looks like you have Flagrow Byobu and Flagrow Upload, those are the only two I can see that should need disabled.

SnakePromise

Frink Thanks!

(Since I didn't install it, I didn't know which extensions were added. Maybe 3rd party extensions should be in a separate section to make it more clear? Maybe they already are in the latest beta, I didn't check. 🙂)

SnakePromise this issue is easy to solve by truncating the access tokens table before migrating.

SnakePromise

luceos I truncated the table and tried migrate command again, nothing changed, the same errors.

What is your MySQL version?

luceos 5.7.27

Hi!

I tried the upgrade again and succeeded, from beta 6 to 13 in one go. 🙂 (Migrated database without errors, moved old assets to new locations.)

The site almost works, I can view the discussions etc, bet when I log in, I get blank white page with the following text:

"An error occurred while trying to load this page."

If I enable debugging in config.php, I see an error:
InvalidArgumentException thrown with message "Cannot load XML: Extra content at the end of the document

However I can view https://mysite.com/admin without any problems.

Any ideas how should I troubleshoot that? I cleared cache several times without any result. Apache error log doesn't show any errors.

luceos

SnakePromise try running php flarum cache:clear, otherwise check storage/logs/flarum.log for a more precise error.

SnakePromise

Clearing cache didn't help.

flarum.log shows the same error:

SnakePromise one or multiple of the posts in the database might have ended up with invalid content. Can you locate the post whose content starts with <t>Vakar in the database and copy the full database content value for us (if it doesn't contain private information). The content will be an XML string.

SnakePromise

clarkwinkelmann Thanks! I found these records (there were several), they looked OK. So I exported them, deleted from the database and imported again. Now everything works! Probably something was wrong with escape characters, there were lots of urls in these posts.
