Upgrade Error

It sounds like you might not have run the updater. When you replaced the files, did you also copy over the ee/installer folder?

Thanks, for your reply.

Yes that folder was moved.

Just now searched for 4.3.6 to see where it was getting the info and there was a setting in the config file for the version. I manually changed it to 5.0.0 and now EE is showing 5.0 at the bottom and no error message. Is there any other way to confirm I’ve got the right version?

Ah, we may have broken the manual updater. As long as you have the new files in place, you should be mostly good to go, you just need to add these files to your config.php which the updater would have done for you, had it worked:

$config['show_ee_news'] = 'y';
$config['share_analytics'] = 'y';

Sorry about that, the one-click updater should be working fine, however. We’ll get a fix for this in the next release.

Thanks for your help, Kevin. Getting there.

When those two lines are added to the config, the admin homepage news box shows 2 errors: 1) the following HTML is exposed in a blue box

" rel="external">RSS[/code/

2) Notice
Undefined variable: url_rss
ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/View/homepage.php, line 174
Severity: E_NOTICE


Line 174 looks like this:
[code]<h1><?=lang('eecms_news')?> <a href="http://<?=$url_rss?>%22class=%22btn" rel="external" class="btn action">RSS</a></h1>

The url_rss variable looks like:

$url_rss = 'https://expressionengine.com/blog/rss-feed/cpnews/';

Thanks Ricknew it’s working fine !

Ricknew, is your install not connected to the internet? You didn’t one-click update, and now it seems it cannot connect to news feed to download the news, so it’s not defining the variable in the controller. Either way, we’ll try to put a fix in to better handle this edge case.

Thanks, Kevin.

I’m running locally, but I am connected to the internet. For now, I’ve just turned off the news feed.

It appears everything else is working fine, but are there any places I can check to confirm nothing else needs updating?

If you upgraded from 4.3.6, and you replaced the files, that’s all you really need to do for this update. There were no database changes or anything like that, just those two config changes.

Hi Kevin,

Great, thanks for your help with this.

Hi Kevin,

In my case, locally I can’t fetch news at all. Also the one click update says I am up to date and/or gives an error that it’s not possible to check for updates.

Any idea why?

Hard to say, Kees, there’s a lot of steps in between your install and our servers. Does your local environment have cURL enabled for PHP?
