Upgrade Problems :(

  • Hello!

    I attempted an upgrade to WP2.0 today, long story short it went wrong. I made a backup of my previous installation before attempting the upgrade, I installed 2.0 fresh after it went wrong and that went fine, but when I restore the backup and view my site it is giving me the message “looks like you haven’t installed WordPress yet”. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • I think I had a similar problem at one point.

    Try /wp-admin/upgrade.php – sounds like you may need to re-run your upgrade process in 2.0

    Alternately – double-check the information in your wp-config.php file as well.

    I have checked wp-config, and that’s fine. I have just tried /wp-admin/upgrade.php and that said everything is done and is fine, I returned to my site and still none of my previous posts are visible. I have deleted my Database, created it again with the same details, installed the backup and that’s not working either

    If you can somehow get into the Administrative interface, try changing your theme to the default temporarily. That may help…

    Hmmm…

    If you did it in this order it will not work. You cannot import a 1.5.x database into a 2.0 install. Import works properly only between the same versions.
    So, the proper order is:
    upload /install previous version’s files
    import backup db
    delete old files, upload new files
    upgrade

    moshu: if he has a backup of his 1.5 db, he should be able to upload the 2.0 files and just run upgrade.php again.

    Yes, that’s right – it’s just after uploading the 2.0 files they always want to “see it”, before the upgrade, LOL
