FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

I successfully upgrades from 1.9.13 to 1.9.19.

Restored everything, was working great. Did a fresh backup of everything and started all over again to upgrade to 2.0. Checked everything to make sure it was compatible and ready. It was.

Uploaded the 2.0 file to the webhosted server. Checked notifications: There were about 8 and none of the continue buttons worked. In other words,  it wouldn't let me do anything else.

According to the 2.0 upgrade page:

If it doesn't work

If the upgrade fails for any reason, it is imperative that you completely restore the 1.9 site from your backups before trying again.

 

 

So, I went back to FileZilla and uploaded the 1.9.19 Backup. When I did, the following Notifications popped up. (See below)

Needless to say, the backup didn't work either.

On the upgrade page, it says if you encounter errors to turn on Debugging. I can't. It logged me out and won't let me log back in as admin so I can't activate Debugging. In, fact, I can't get past the errors page. Below is the list of errors it generated on one page. Don't know if there are more.

 

I need genuine help. I am not a programmer and have precious little knowledge of computer-ese. I do have limited access to my webhost's server, but I will need hand-holding to make any changes in the mysql or databases.  At this point I don't even know how to access them. Yes, I know I'm in over my head, but at this point there is no one else to do it. Help is deeply appreciated.

Hi Guillermo,

At the moment I am in shock! I just logged into my website and found a pretty frontpage too! It wasn't there a few hours ago. I also see that I am still logged in as admin, but before, it logged me out and I couldn't do anything!

What is different is all of the boxes on the Left side - the administration box - is missing. How do I edit the site. Even though I am logged in as admin, I don't have any control.

What do I do?

Only one course is accessible, the one with a link on the frontpage. This course is used more as a social site and is the hub of our organization.

In this course:

Side boxes (right & left) - missing

Participants, administration, RSS Feed, Messages - all missing

Lightbox galleries - empty/ no pictures (Dear God, I've GOT to recover these!!)

Graphics/icons - missing

On the positive:

Forums appear to be working and have past conversations

Wikis are intact

Attachments (pdf's, etc.) seem to still be intact

Logged in as admin, but can only see/do what a student would do.

LOL big grin I can imagine! Yes, it sure looks pretty. Yes, I don't see it displaying any blocks. It might be a theme issue. You'll need to work directly in the URL address bar of your browser.

The first thing will be to set a standard theme. Type the following (with your own site name):

Is there another theme I should choose?

Ok, thinking about it, if you restored the last backup, what we are actually looking at is a 1.9.19 installation. What worries me (from the error message: "The code you are using is OLDER than the version that made these databases!"), is how did you create the database backup and how did you restore it? I believe the problem resides there.

In reply to Guillermo Madero

Re: FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

by Myrrh Lynn -

Here is how I did the backup. It is the same way I have always done it; maybe it isn't correct:

Backup individual courses, then the site, then I go to server and rename file website.com>moodle as moodle 1.9.19Backup; create a new moodle file. I used FileZilla to download moodle1.9.19Backup to my computer C drive to keep an off-server backup.

Then I created an empty moodle file on the server, used FileZilla to upload moodle 2.0 to server. Went to Notifications where it generated a lot of error messages. Rather than dealing with it all ( because it was now 4am), I thought I would just install 1.9.19Backup and bypass the hassle of correcting the 2.0 errors.

Thinking back, I think this is where I messed up. I just looked back at my server and cannot find the moodle file that had the 2.0 in it. It looks like I deleted the whole file!? (WT*?!)

Re: FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

by Guillermo Madero -

There, you seemed to have missed the procedure for the backup, as mentioned in the referred docs. You needed to backup not only the moodle installation folder, but also the database and the moodledata directory, so Houston...

Well, the first option would be to see if your hosting provider does and/or has an image (a special kind of backup) of your site, which then he could use to bring back your site to the state it was when the image was made.

If not, as you don't seem to have neither a database nor a moodledata folder backup, you then need to rename the current moodle directory (which has a 1,9,19 version), upload the 2.0 moodle package and unpack it. This way at least all three components will be synchronized (moodledata, moodle and database).

Once you unpack the Moodle 2.0.x version you originally used, please do not forget to copy the config.php file from the original (1,9,x, now renamed) moodle folder into the current one (2.0.x).

Re: FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

by Myrrh Lynn -

Okay, I'm completely confused. How do you back up the moodledata directory and the database?! I've done the same backup procedure for 6yrs. I thought if you back up the whole moodle file on the server that that was how you got everything backed up.

In reply to Myrrh Lynn

Re: FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

by Guillermo Madero -

For the moodledata directory, it is just a matter to copy it or create a compressed file, as it is just as any other folder in the system.

Regarding the database, there are many ways, but it is usually easier through the phpMyAdmin web application; which is why I asked if you had it installed. As a matter of fact, on shared web hosting accounts, it is usually the only way to create database backups and restores.

In reply to Guillermo Madero

Re: FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

by Myrrh Lynn -

I just got a response from my webhosting service. I do have php MyAdmin on the Mysql. He just told me how to access this. I see the backup button on the php MyAdmin dashboard. I assume I just click that and it will backup the database associated with the moodle? or is there another procedure? As for the moodledata, I have 2.One that is on the same tier as website.com and another that is website.com>moodledata. This is on same tier as website.com>moodle. Which one do I backup? [I did not create either of these files. When moodle was installed by my webhost 6yrs ago, this is how it was done.]

Re: FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

by Guillermo Madero -

Did you ask to see if by any chance your provider had an image of your site?

On phpMyAdmin it is usually named "Export", and clicking that tab takes you to a page where you can adjust different settings about how the backup file is going to be done.

If you are working with cPanel, there is usually a backup file option under the database section.

Anyway, if you have the mentioned backup button, test it and see what it does.

About the moodledata directories, have you checked the contents of each? Take a look at the folders, files and dates of both. To be on the safe side, back them both.

Re: FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

by Myrrh Lynn -

I have contacted my webhost, but it takes forever for them to reply. I sent a message the first time you asked about phpMyadmin, yesterday, and they only replied a few minutes ago.I have sent them a message about the picture backup. Waiting for a reply.

I am in the phpMyAdmin now. Clicked on Export and the page looks like this:

Exporting databases from the current server

Export Method:

  • Quick - display only the minimal options
  • Custom - display all possible options

Format:  SQL

 

There is a dropdown where the SQL is with other options. I don't see anything that looks like a picture. Other options include:

JSON, Texy! Text, MediaWiki Table, PHP array, CSV, OpenDocument Spreadsheet, PDF, La Tex, Microsoft Word, OpenDocument Text, YAML, CVS for Excel, CodeGen.

Should I choose something different from SQL?

The moodledata file on the outside tier has the most recent date.

Re: FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

by Myrrh Lynn -

Just heard back from webhost (I despise them!) telling me my backup size was exceeded and no backup is possible at this time. BUT I had plenty of backup space BEFORE the moodle 2.0 version was installed. I have 5G with host plan. Before 2.0 I was at 3.1G usage. They said to delete useless files to make room or buy more storage. The only thing I have on this account is Moodle. So I cannot delete useless files to make room until I know I have a backup of the 1.9.19 on their server which should exist considering it has not even been 24hrs since I installed the thing. Then he REALLY pushed for an upgrade plan for an additional $50/mo without answering my original question about a picture backup at all.

In reply to Myrrh Lynn

Re: FAILED Upgrade from 1.9.19 to 2.0.10

by Guillermo Madero -

The available space must have decreased because of your initial backups.

Before doing anything else, I would first check what do I have in there. If there's something that can be downloaded and then deleted, do it, for example backups, installation packages, and such. You definitely need space to do the backups: 3.1 GB exceeds the 50% of your total space, so yes, we need more available space.

So it seems they do not have an image of your site. We will have to make do with what we have right now. The first thing, is not to worry, step by step we will have everything working.

by Myrrh Lynn -

Thanks, Guillermo. I needed that dose of encouragement. Sorry for the long pause, I had to go running to clear my head. I am about as discouraged and embarrassed as I think I can get. I appreciate your patience and guidance. In spite of all the trouble I have with modules and upgrades, this is why I stick with Moodle. You can't beat the Moodle community. I wish the rest of the world would be as cool as it is.

As far as deleting files, the most important things to me right now are the lightbox gallery pictures and the wikis pages. Everything else, I can afford to lose or I can re-create. Fortunately, we are fast approaching a new school year, so everyone will have to re-register anyway. Past participants will be lost, but so be it. When they decide they want to continue their courses and have trouble logging in, they'll contact me and I'll get their info then. Teachers will be pissed, but what else is new; it's impossible to please them all.

As I am deleting files, which ones must I absolutely keep (keep in mind the lightbox plugin and wikis)?

Good thing you took a break and went to run.

Before getting into the moodledata files, isn't there anything else you can download and delete?

I don't know when I would have deleted it, but it's not there. The moodle 1.9.19Backup was uploaded to the website.com>moodle file on the server from my computer's C drive via FileZilla. I checked Notifications and got the mess you see now.

Hi Myrrh,

I'm opening a new branch here, as the other one is getting too narrow.

Instead of deleting files from the moodledata directory, you should download it via FTP.

Do you have a control panel where you can see the space used by:

  • the moodle directory
  • the moodledata directory
  • the other moodledata directory
  • the database

Knowing this would help a bit.

OK! Now I'm below the backup limit. (Will delete other stuff later)

Here is a screen shot of the files in the website.com file. All of the backup files have been moved to computer C:/

This is what I can see. Along with the phpMyAdmin dashboard, which I assume is standard for everyone. As for an anctual moodle control panel, I do not have such - that I am aware of.

HI Myrrh,

  I just saw the ton of posts on your upgrade issues.  I went through the process of upgrading from 1.9.5 to 2.4.1 a while ago.  There were lots of issues until I got the right process down.  I documented the process and created a post to help others.  It may not work in every situation but it was completely reliable for me and others have used it successfully to.  Maybe it'll help you.  Check it out at:
