    I am upgrading from Evolution 1.3 to Revolution 2.00 RC3

    On the install summary page, everything seems ok


    Installation Summary

    Pre-installation tests were successful. Click Install below to continue.

    *Checking PHP for zlib dependency: OK!
    *Checking for SimpleXML: OK!
    *Checking PHP version: OK! Running: 5.2.9
    *Checking MySQL server version: OK! Running: 5.0.83-community

    *Checking if core/packages directory is writable: OK!
    *Checking if core/config/config.inc.php exists and is writable: OK!
    *Creating connection to the database: OK!


    It’s when I click ’next’ that I get a Blank White page.

    I’d read on the Installation Problems to check the following...
    ’memory_limit’ setting in php.ini is set to at least 32M.

    But where can I find php.ini? Is it a file that comes with ModX or a file I should see on my server already or a setting my host should tweak?

    Any other suggestions would be great.

      There is no upgrade available from MODx Evolution to MODx Revolution at this time. A migration tool and guide is in the works and should be available not too long after Revolution public launch.

        I thought that it was possible to upgrade?

        http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/Upgrading+from+MODx+Evolution

        The site I am upgrading is only a small personal site so there’s no problem if it’s been trashed. But if anyone had any suggestions as to how to get around the white installation page, it’d be very appreciated.

          At the top of that page:

          Automated upgrading from 0.9.6.*/Evolution is not yet available in MODx Revolution 2.0.0. A migration tool will be provided sometime after the release of MODx Revolution 2.0.0.

          IOW, we dont have a streamlined process for upgrading yet. And we don’t guarantee that it will always work.

            I would install Revo new and move/migrate your Evo data manually for now, if it’s a small site. See http://bobsguides.com/migrating-revolution.html for some other ideas and tips on migrating.
