Upgrade 2 to 3 error

Did you copy over your database.php? The updater should have made a new entry in your config.php for database. Either way, you should have something like this in your config.php to specify database settings:

$config['database'] = array(
 'expressionengine' => array(
  'hostname' => 'localhost',
  'database' => 'ee',
  'username' => 'username',
  'password' => 'password'
 ),
);

Kevin,

Thanks for your response. Yes I did copy over database php. But the updated config.php after the attempted update does not have anything about the database. Indeed the config.php sems unchanged, still referrring to app version 281 If I copy in your code with the database information from database.php could that resolve things?

It could resolve things. I’d worry that not even your app_version was updated though, it’s like the updater didn’t run. You ran the updater, correct?

Kevin,

Yes I did and it progressed through all the different versions. The odd thing is that it appeared to succeed and showed me the new control panel. It was the site that would not work. Then when I went back to the control panel it gave the same error message as the site.

I will at least try inserting the database info and if that does not work, I will I think maybe I should just revert to my back up and go round the process again.

Very odd, yes might be good to start over, I’d worry about files reverting themselves with no explanation. If you need some direct help, submit a support ticket and we can take a closer look.

Yes, it would be better to start again and see if I have better luck next time.
