No upgrade option !

Hi,

i’m trying to upgrade to EVO 1.4.(right now its running EVO 0.9.6.3)
but after i’ve uploaded all the files to the server and run the installer the option ’upgrade an existing modx’ cannot be selected.
I can only choose ’New installation’.... the radiobuttons just won’t work?
anyone know why / or is it me? .
Im doing this from FF 3.6.9 on OSX 10.6

Look for a (writable!) config.inc.php file in the manager/includes directory. If the installer finds this, it will enable the upgrade option.

You can’t just copy the folders to an OSX installation; OSX won’t leave any existing files that don’t exist in the folder being copied (it replaces the whole folder, not file-by-file). Since the new folders don’t have a config.inc.php file, it won’t exist in the copied-over folders. Windows and Linux leave such files alone; they only overwrite existing files with the new ones without touching any other files.

If you had a backup (you do, don’t you?) just copy the config.inc.php file into manager/includes and re-run the installer.

Hi thanks for the quick reply

Do you mean the config.inc.php on in the new 1.4 folders? or in the original 0.9.6.3 files on the server?

I know, i uploaded them (FTP) with transmit from my osx machine to the linux server so they will be ok i guess

pffffeeew, yeah i did.
So i have to
- upload all the new files to the server
- copy the original config.inc.php that was on the old installation and copy that back to the server (making sure its CHMOD 0777)
- run the installer?

What are you doing? What did you upload to the new server? An upgrade is when you upgrade an existing installation. You can’t upgrade a new installation.

Hi,

i’ve got an 0.9.6.3 version installed on the server that i want to upgrade.
So i’ve downloaded version 1.4 from the Modx site to my machine, unzipped the zip, and uploaded (FTP) all files to the server.
hoping that when i run the installer it’ll give me the choice to upgrade.

not good?

It should have worked; check your server’s manager/includes for the config.inc.php file, and make sure it is writable since the upgrade will probably need to write to it.

Where did u upload the files?

Did u overwrite the 0963 installation with the 1.0.4 files or just uploaded to a new folder?
