Hi all

Am i okay to upgrade a site from 0.9.6.3 straight to Evolution 1.01, or do i need to go to Evolution 1.0 and upgrade to 1.0.1 from there?

I tried an upgrade test from 0.9.6.3 to Evolution 1.0.1 on a local copy of the site and it completely broke it.

"It completely broke it" means what? You might want to remove the duplicate copies of Search Highlighting, TinyMCE and Forgot Manager Login.

You may also have environment differences locally compared to your server.

Sorry for non-specifics, completely broke means this:

Warning: fopen(E:/Work/XamppServer/xampp/htdocs/Cult-Med/manager/media/style/MODxCarbon/login.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\Work\XamppServer\xampp\htdocs\Cult-Med\manager\includes\accesscontrol.inc.php on line 129

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for E:/Work/XamppServer/xampp/htdocs/Cult-Med/manager/media/style/MODxCarbon/login.html in E:\Work\XamppServer\xampp\htdocs\Cult-Med\manager\includes\accesscontrol.inc.php on line 130

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in E:\Work\XamppServer\xampp\htdocs\Cult-Med\manager\includes\accesscontrol.inc.php on line 130

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in E:\Work\XamppServer\xampp\htdocs\Cult-Med\manager\includes\accesscontrol.inc.php on line 131

The local install was running in Xampp on winXP. Everything was fine - was able to import db dumps from the live version to keep up to date etc.

What I did was run the 1.0.1 upgrade over the 0.9.6.3 and got the above. Is this advisable, or is the upgrade from 0.9.6.3 straight to 1.0.1 not poss?

Thanks

rootsdiv,

Something looks off to me.
That first error, which is coming from manager\includes\accesscontrol.inc.php, line 129
says it’s looking for the file /manager/media/style/MODxCarbon/login.html.
But that file exists in /assets/templates/manager/login.html, and the version of accesscontrol.inc.php from the 1.0.1 release looks in the correct location:

    $tplFile = $base_path.'assets/templates/manager/login.html';

I don’t think that even an incorrect $base_path could produce the path that’s generating that error.

I can only guess that some of the 1.0.1 files didn’t get replaced correctly overtop older files.

Thanks for the reply

I can only guess that some of the 1.0.1 files didn’t get replaced correctly overtop older files.

Sounds feasible, I’ll try it again on a backup of the original - but essentially, do you know if modx can upgrade safely from 0.9.6.3 to 1.01, or would I have to include 1.0 in between?
(f.y.i. gotta skip from this machine for a few hours, will be back later though)

It’ll be fine to go from 0.9.6.3 to 1.0.1. Done some site upgrades recently that are from older versions than 0.9.6.3 wink

Hi, everybody!

I have exactly the same problem, unfortunately with my own live website (frontend is running):

Warning: fopen(/blablabla/manager/media/style/MODxCarbon/login.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /kunden/78971_31139/manager/includes/accesscontrol.inc.php on line 129

The file doesn´t exist HERE, but in assets/templates/manager/, as line 129 in accesscontrol.inc.php says

$tplFile = $base_path.'assets/templates/manager/login.html';

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: Stat failed for /blablabla/manager/media/style/MODxCarbon/login.html (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /blablabla/manager/includes/accesscontrol.inc.php on line 130

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /blablabla/manager/includes/accesscontrol.inc.php on line 130

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /blablabla/manager/includes/accesscontrol.inc.php on line 131

... ok, ok. mySQL version is 5.0.51, PHP is 4.4.8, Server is running on Linux

skipjack66, Did you run the installer in Upgrade mode?

I cant think of a reason why its doing it since the required file and file path are in thier right place.
