Upgrading from 5.3.3.1

Permalink
Did not work. Did exactly what your directions say. Un-zip file and only copy contents of /concrete directory over the existing one in my webroot. Blew up my site. This is because in the tools directory under /concrete there is no /required directory as the instructions indicate. There is however a upgrade.php file but trying that doesn't work either. What should be a very easy streamlined upgrade turns out to be a complete disaster. Now I have to totally re-create my site! Not happy with your upgrade instructions.

What error messages are you getting? What does 'blew up' mean? White screen?

Did you take a backup of your site before upgrading?

From the sounds of it a lot could have gone wrong with this. I don't suppose you made a backup before you tried this ?

Where are the original instructions that were given to copy over the existing ?

Wait this is from 2 years ago ? I would probably consider this answered,,,,,,,
