- Repeated upgrade failure: This time to 6.8.8
1 amoun Mar 23, 2017 14:32
Third post on this topic, stumbling point had been a request for screenshot of the error page. Done that this time
OK
I have two domains which show the same problem. The other two posts refer to http://calstock.org.uk
http://forums.b2evolution.net/upgrade-failure and
http://forums.b2evolution.net/auto-upgrade-from-6-7-7-to-8
This one to http://rogerlovejoy.net/blog
The problem is is exactly the same so you can read the beginning of the first url above and a screen shot of this instance is at
http://rogerlovejoy.net/blog/media/blogs/b2evo/img/posts/500failure.jpg
The error is live at http://rogerlovejoy.net/blog/install/index.php?action=auto_upgrade&locale=en-GB
If you go to the base site http://rogerlovejoy.net/blog/ you will see the live 503 error

Thanks for your response
As in previous attempts
Auto upgrade went well,, until asked to update the data base and I get this
http://calstock.org.uk/install/index.php?action=auto_upgrade&locale=en-GB which is my 500 file,
but the file does exist in public_html
So to answer your question 1. yes the file does exist
If I rename the umaintenance file and I get the 'Database schema is not up to date!' page but going to the install page gets me a 500 error again just this time it's the /install/index.php without the parameters, and yes the file still exists
Since the update any request for a php file gives a 500 error
all others txt, html htm whether the file exists or not go to 'Database schema is not up to date!' page a 503 error
Will try and get the apache error info
Has there been a change since 6.7.8 as I had the same error doing auto then but it worked when I did a full ftp but since then even a full ftp overwrite does the same except for the older versions from 6.7.8 back Nothing since then works.
I can imagine something on my host doesn't like something in the newer versions and it's only the php files in b2evo it doesn't recognise. Once the auto upgrade has been done I can't access any php files. Thought it may be an .htaccess but haven't found anything there
Quest 2 The only error on my server relating to the blog is one telling me my install folder is writeable by group Soft exception ccp 603
If I rename the folder, the install url goes to a 503 not a 404, if I url the new name I go back to the 500 error

Who is your webhost?
Just to be extra clear: the green error screen is not generated by b2evolution, it is generated by your webhost and it makes absolutely no sense to me what it's supposed to mean.
You need to ask them what the hell the real error is when they display that.
Also again: you need to know what the meaning of the green screen error is wehn you hit http://calstock.org.uk/install/index.php?action=auto_upgrade&locale=en-GB.
It is completely pointless to talk about all the other errors you see because they are all consequences of you not being able to execute http://calstock.org.uk/install/index.php?action=auto_upgrade&locale=en-GB.
Has there been a change since 6.7.8
There are hundreds of changes in each new release.

The only guesswork solution I can give you (until your host replies) is: try to reset the unix file permissions of all files to mimic the file permissions of a working file.

Ok thanks. I've emailed my host.
The problem as I see it is that since 6.7.8 if I try and update my b2evo, either auto or ftp, no php files can be accessed across the whole domain. The blog is in it's own directory and it's the same with my other main site calstock.org.uk where the blog is the root, but on that one I managed to reinstall 6.7.8 and all is fine. ??
The green page is just my 500.shtml but why it's being called ???
Changing all file permissions, by recursion, seems a problem to undo
UPDATE:
Just edited a file, if the file starts with <?php it causes the 500 error saying file doesn't exist, but it's ok if it's a script after an <html> tag has been read.
That seems to be in only certain directories. Where I have my own directories for stubs both issue work but not in b2evo directories. There seems to be some script that doesn't allow php in standard directories in the blog
UPDATE:
On the green page I've edited that as it's not that the file can't be found
Here's an example of the problem
I have made two files phpinfo0.php and phpinfo1.php and placed them in
the root rogerlovejoy.net
the blog rogerlovejoy.net
the install folder rogerlovejoy.net/blog/install
if I try phpinfo2.php which doesn't exist
in the root I get a 404
in the blog and in /blog/install I get the message 'Database schema is not up to date!' that's without the umaintenance file else I get the 503 error
for the phpinfo0 and phpinfo1
in the root all is ok
in the /blog ok
in /blog/install I get the 500

Just heard again from my host
As our webserver uses suphp on PHP5 you will notice the following error in your cpanel error log (found under your cpanel account > errors):
[Mon Mar 27 08:46:44 2017] [error] [client 91.227.223.2] SoftException in Application.cpp:603: Directory "/home/rogerlov/public_html/blog/install" is writeable by group.
This is due to the server running SuPHP and the files having higher permissions than allowed, to fix this problem you need to make sure your files are chmod 644 for all PHP based files and 755 for directories in order for them to work with SuPHP.You can easily do this by connecting via FTP with Filezilla and right clicking on the problem folders and files and selecting file permissions.
My reply
Yes thanks I saw the cpp:603 and checked permissions and all are as should be
There's something in the blog that is off like there's a directive to not allow php in certain directories ???
Well that's what I've got to as I get the 500 error only in preset directories in the /blog/ when accessing php files

Hello Roger,
We will continue to look into this now for you.
Best Regards,
Luke Germano
Well I haven't checked every file and directory in /blog/ but /blog/install/ is fine
Their last
Hi Roger,
You will need to raise your last question with the software that makes the blog as the only current issue is with the file permissions which I have addressed how to fix in my previous response.

OK I have found it
I did a recursive permission change to all folders in /blog/ and the upgrade went as planned but why permissions got changed on the auto upgrade I don't know. I will check the download files
Just auto upgraded 2bevo on another site with the same problem, but this time, via Filezilla, I noticed the install folder had permissions 775 once I changed then to 755 all went well
Still can't understand how. I've just ftp'd the /install directory and it came out as 755 How on two domains it ended up as 775 is a mystery. Will see what happens with the next auto update, but this has been happing since 6.7.8 and I haven't managed to sort it until now.
Thanks Francois
The 503 error "System upgrade is in progress. " is normal at this point.
The 500 error "green screen" you screenshoted is complete BS from your webhosting company. If the script "requested isn't found at this location", they should send back a 404 message and not a 500 error.
1) So, first, you need to go and check if
install/index.phpactually exists on your server at the time that error is displayed.2) Then, if it exists, you need to look at the apache error log to see exactly what error is recorded at the time you get the green screen above.
