TOPIC: JoomSEF upgrade problems

JoomSEF upgrade problems 16 years, 11 months ago #3543

Hello,

I'm having some trouble upgrading my copy of JoomSEF.

After installing the latest version, I get 404 not found for all pages except the home page. I've read the FAQ and checked my .htaccess file - the page names are correct, but the content isn't there.

Any advice would be appreciated - I hope I have not overlooked something obvious.

The site is at devsandbox.tfs.ca

.htaccess file looks like this:

##
# @version $Id: htaccess.txt 2368 2006-02-14 17:40:02Z stingrey $
# @package Joomla

Hello,
unfortunatelly you do not write from what version to which version you have upgraded and how (using online update or manually)?
Maybe there is/was some problem with URL conversion. I would suggest you to backup existing URL and try to purge all of them to see, if the problem lasts after they are regenerated. If it will be okay after that, then probably the update process failed somehow.

I'm not sure whether it is a problem with the URL conversion or not - there are a couple of issues.

I tried to upgrade from 1.2.4 to 1.5 - after using the URL conversion script. The script didn't work I don't think - and the upgrade didn't work either. So I deleted the database tables, uninstalled the component, and tried to reinstall fresh starting at 1.3.1 - so I could use the online upgrade utility. Still no luck.

All of this is not too critical as it is on a test server - however I don't know how to get from the version of 1.2.4 that I have on my live site - to a current version. All the generated URLs we have are indexed by search engines etc. so I need to find a way to do this without losing all our URLs.

Any thoughts?

Are there detailed upgrade instructions anywhere that I've overlooked? i.e. should I be turning off SEF in the global config before doing an upgrade? Should I be uninstalling the old version first, or just over-writing with the upgrade version?

Thanks for your help.

To by mě taky zajímalo jak mám upgradovat. Mám verzi 1.4.0 a návod, nějak postrádá význam. Můžete rozepsat kde použít ten script? Protože at zkouším nahrávat přes upgrade v joomsef script nebo novou verzi nic se neděje.

The version 1.2.x and 1.3.x may still have problems with automated upgrade. In that case, I would suggest to replace it manually with code of version 1.5.x and then try to upgrade to 2.x.

manually replace = unpack the distribution file (you can get older version in our archive) and rewrite files in dirs components/com_sef and administrator/components/com_sef.

Then upgrading should work, and by upgrading from 1.5.x to 2.x, your URLs should be auto-reformatted.

Please note, that the after manually replacing the files with 1.5, the site may not work, but it should after upgrade to 2.x (and you should be able to do the update).

Please note also, that after upgrade from 1.5.x to 2.x, you may need to upgrade some of the extensions as well. (check the update list again right after you upgrade to 2.x)

Hi Michal,

Thanks for your reply. I have done the upgrade as you recommended, however it did not retain my URLs. I recall reading that pre-1.3.x URLs would need to be converted before upgrading, and as I mentioned I didn't have much luck with the script for that.

Any advice on how I can get to the current version without losing all my URLs?

Thanks again,
