Error 500 at Setup

Hi all, have a 2.3 site that I am attempting to upgrade to the 2.4. I copied the folder into my directory, and visited the /setup folder and get an 500.



My error log had some PHP errors where certain extensions were not found (have been that way for a while), I corrected those and the log is clean even after refresh.

Strangely I am able to log into the Manager and the front end site works fine. [ed. note: jisaac last edited this post 11 years ago.]

Try to chmod 777 modx-2.4.0-pl/core/cache

Tried that, no change.

Some servers require that to be 755.

If you have a backup and can revert to the 2.3 site (and the site works), you might try the UpgradeMODX extra.

delete core/cache folder entirely and create a new one with 777 chmod

777 will work for some servers, but for many it won't and you need 755.

Do you have access to the PHP error log? There should be a more useful error message there.

Now I finally found the reason for this error. It was that damn strict mode for MySQL. I just had to comment the line so everything worked.

# Set the SQL mode to strict
sql-mode=""
#sql-mode="STRICT_ALL_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ZERO_DATE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER"
