Utility Update is failing - how do I know why?

oliverraduner

I upgraded to 2.0.18 final and so far the forum is working without any issues.

But I was not able to run /utility/update/ in order to update the (database?) structure. How can I figure out why it is failing?

Ok, resort to the old way:

$Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['MasterView'] = 'deverror.master.php';

Tim

Put $Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE; into your config file.

Thanks @Tim, I did so, but still only shows me a "nice" Failure-page only.

No luck with that either...

Tim

Uh, are you using a memcached server?

Tim

Also make sure that you don't have those lines elsewhere in your config, they could be overridden.

oliverraduner

Thanks @Tim, I followed all your recommendations, and quite sure I do not have a memcached server. Still I just get a nice error page... To point out here, I had no Smarty folder first and then I got the debug screen with the information, that this folder was missing. I have it setup with the "compile" folder, set correct permissions, but since then the nice error page appears.

Can you go to /utility/structure and tell us what scripts it says it needs to run?

@Todd Now that is fancy:

Fatal Error in Gdn_PluginManager.GetPluginInstance();
Tried to load plugin '' from access name 'PluginUtils:pluginname', but it doesn't exist.
The error occurred on or near: /***/library/core/class.pluginmanager.php
515:       if (!class_exists($ClassName))
516:          throw new Exception("Tried to load plugin '{$ClassName}' from access name '{$AccessName}:{$AccessType}', but it doesn't exist.");

And do you have any idea, why it might still say I am running "2.0.18rc2"?

[UPDATE] Wait, I guess I did miss something with the file upload of 2.0.18... damn that's embarrassing
[UPDATE2] Nope, all files & config OK. Still above error when running /utility/structure/

@oliverraduner Happens to the best of us.

Does thissolve your image issues too @Oliver

Glad you spotted the problem, they say the most obvious can sometimes e the most obscure

@422 the image problem affects my local dev environment with MAMP, the problem here affects my published site.
