First of all, apologies if I do something wrong in this post: I’m not a web developer.
I’m running 6.0.5 in a shared hosting environment using Cpanel, etc.
I tried to update to 7.0.1 this morning and failed. The upgrade appeared to go normally, but afterwards I was unable to run the program because something failed in the filefunc.inc.php file causing it to think that the upgrade was not complete and forcing me into an eternal loop back to the install directory.
I fooled around with it enough to track down the error that far, then I rolled it all back to my previous backup.l
PHP is version 5.6.30
And yes, I tried uploading/unpacking multiple times. Everything goes fine, but apparently the test to determine if the install is complete fails and all attempts to run the application are redirected to the install directory
I don’t, and I am traveling right now, but when I get back I can attempt it again and get you more detail.
Basically, there were no errors and everything completed normally, but when I tried to run the app, the filefunctions include failed to detect that the installation was completed and it rewrote my url to the installation directory.
Not sure that I understand your question. Can you be more specific?
I don’t recall it asking for any user details. I gave it everything it asked for. I would think that if I skipped something it would give me an error, right?
if you deleted the install directory (which you don’t need to do) just upload all the files once again and once you are on the install page instead of upgrade choose the first option “fresh install” and that should let you access the Dolibarr login page.
OK, found the problem. User error (you were warned; I don’t know what I am doing.)
I was copying the entire new release into the existing program directory. Apparently I was just supposed to copy the /htdocs directory. Duh!
Thanks for looking at this problem for me. Maybe make the upgrade instructions a little bit more explicit to help others in the future?
