My b2evolution Version:

Delete the existing files
Delete all your existing b2evolution files from your site before uploading the new ones! This will ensure you don't keep unnecessary files on your server after upgrading. It's also better for security.

leads to...

Warning: require_once(/home/myblog/public_html/blog/inc/locales/_locale.funcs.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/myblog/public_html/blog/conf/_locales.php on line 96

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/myblog/public_html/blog/inc/locales/_locale.funcs.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/myblog/public_html/blog/conf/_locales.php on line 96

Why should you need to delete *any* files in an upgrade. Surely the upgrade should remove any unwanted files?

Sounds like you got a bad copy of the zip or your ftp hasn't overwritten all files, which is why it's better to delete them first before upgrading.

What I do is create a "public_html_new" -> upload files to it -> copy across /media/ ++ any custom plugins/skins and conf/_basic_config.php ... although mine's called _config_TEST.php ;) ....

Anyway, I do that and then I hit phpmyadmin and create a shiny new db and then ask it to copy all my evo db tables and data to it.

Once it's done that I rename public_html to public_html_evo_version and rename public_html_new to public_html, hit the installer and hope like hell ;)

If it all goes tits up then I just undo the folder renaming and change the table name in my original /conf/_basic_config.php and then start again with a new zip, a new folder, a new backup

Sometimes it works first time :D

That upgrade procedure needs "stickied" somewhere, ¥åßßå.

Succinct, clean and most of all... reversible. ;)

I'm good at simple ;)

I'll make a sticky post with my method later

It's reversible.. at your expsense..with a simple ftp/sql backup right before you get to it (;

So is it possible to upgrade directly to 3.3.3 using this method?

None of my workflow involves ftp or backup, it's just a matter of copying shit on the server ;)

No, but it'll allow you to restore your blog if it all goes tits up ;)

This files doesn't exist in the upgrade package or the previous version so stuck!

The upgrade package only contains changed files and folders. I don't use ftp so I just grab the full package, which is what my instructions are based on ;)

How?

What about the blog php files?

14 Jun 19, 2010 15:36

I normally hit ssh and use wget to pull the zip server to server, unzip it to a temp folder, then move the files from the blogs folder to my public_html_new folder.
