Upgrade Question

Hi jdancisin,

First, make sure you download a backup of your CMS folder and files.

Next, make sure you have the latest upgrade (v1.20)

Then, yes, that means the /data/ folder and all the files within it. Upload them and overwrite your old versions.

The default settings file is named settings.dat.php.default so they won't overwrite your existing settings file.

Hope that helps, let me know if you need anything else.

Ok, that didn't quite work. At first everything seemed somewhat ok. My sections weren't showing up in the main menu bar, but they were showing up in the section editor. But then when I clicked on them I got a message about "schema". But now nothing is working and I am getting a message that says:

Hello, Website Visitors!

We are temporarily experiencing high website traffic or technical difficulties. Please bookmark this page and come back later.

Do you run this website?

We were unable to connect to the database, possibly because:

1. Your database settings are incorrect (check in /data/settings.dat.php)
2. Your database server is down or overloaded (check with your host)

Check if there is a mysql error message at the bottom of that page? You can manually change your mysql settings if need be in /data/settings.dat.php.

If the problem persists feel free to drop me an email at dave@interactivetools.com with CMS and FTP login details (email, don't post login details to forum) and I can take a look and get you back on track.

Hope that helps!
