[Xerte] Re: Upgrade.php Redirecting to upgrade.phpsetup

[Martin Lindau]

Hi John,

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply.

"I'm making the assumption that you have added "yourinstall" to the URL to obfuscate it in this list...." - Not really, no! It was just my lazy copying... The full URL should be http://zone2.derbylearn.net/moodle/xertetoolkits/upgrade.php 

I haven't got access to the SQL database at the moment. I am waiting for someone to get back to me to enable access.

We are using Windows Server 2003 with Apache. The PHP version is 5.4.34. I am not sure on whether PDO extensions are enabled, I will have to do some further investigation. So the PDO extensions are new requirement after version 2.1? 

Thanks again for your help.

Kind Regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

I'm making the assumption that you have added "yourinstall" to the URL to obfuscate it in this list....

What OS are you using? Windows/Linux (what flavour)?

I had a similar issue when we upgraded. I found that in my case it was happening because there was an issue connecting to the database (the incorrect url shouldn't happen and we need to fix that). You can verify this if you have access to the mysql database and look at the version table and it should still be 5. after v3.1 it should be 8 I think...

Firstly, you need to make sure that you have the PDO extensions enabled in PHP as we've upgraded to the new connector since the old way has been deprecated.

Secondly, and mainly if you are using Windows, you may need to change the php extensions path from relative to absolute in order to make PDO work on Windows, even if it worked for other extensions before. This is another thing that caught me out when upgrading.

stackoverflow.com/questions/7086859/pdo-...-no-value-in-windows

If either of these don't solve the issue then let us know any error messages, warning etc that you are getting. Loog in the Xerte logs and also in the server logs for recent entries.

Subject: [Xerte] Upgrade.php Redirecting to upgrade.phpsetup

Hi All,

I am trying to update to XOT 3.1 from 2.1

When trying to complete Step 4. from the "easy" upgrade documentation, I am being redirected to http://yourinstall/upgrade.phpsetup - However, this file doesn't seem to exist.

I have also followed the "Clean Upgrade" guidance and am experiencing exactly the same issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Martin
