CiviCRM Upgrade Taken

[StefaanHaesen]

Hello,

I upgraded my Drupal 7.28 - CiviCRM from 4.0.4 to 4.4.5 but did not get the message 'Upgrade successful', in stead it says 'CiviCRM Upgrade Taken' with empty [ ] and two buttons: Retry and Skip. Beside my website's header there is nothing else on the page ... What's next ? What should I do to continue ?

Kind regards,
Stefaan

This is a JS error. Try removing templates_c and try again.

Hello ... no change when removing template_c 

[Hershel]

Did you put back CiviCRM 4.0.4 first and make sure it works? That is what you should do. Make sure 4.0.4 works, then replace the CiviCRM code, then remove templates_c and then try the upgrade.

Dear Stefaan,

Sorry to hear you've had problems with the upgrades.

Did you:
a) take backups
b) do revisions in increments? For something like this you should go 4.1.x, 4.2.x, 4.3.x, 4.4.x etc

Hi, backups are ok ;-)

Will try to perform upgrade 4.1, 4.2 ...

Thanks,

[JohnFF]

Let us know how it goes

My notes from a recent upgrade - might save you some upgrade steps.

Hi Everyone, after a lot of trial and error:
I first reverted php to 5.2.17 and ran sequential upgrades upto 4.0.8 without issues.
It seems the upgrade to 4.1.0 is a little more difficult, getting errors on civicrm_settings (which I'm able to bypass using this forum ;-) ), but other error still popping up ... latest is a constraint error on INSERT INTO civicrm_settings (I assume it has to do with contacts marked for deletion, but will be looking into this at a later time).
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
