Upgrading Joomla and CiviCRM manually
July 25, 2009, 05:37:50 am
We are currently running Joomla 1.0.x and CiviCRM 2.0.3 on Plesk 9.2.1.  I am constanstly running into an error when upgrading to 2.1 regarding the file civicrm.settings.php file not being created, hence the upgrade to 2.1 fails.  Rather than fight this any longer, is there a way I can manually upgrade just the database so I can port it into a Joomla 1.5.x environment?

It is not the Joomla part I am stuck on.  It's getting CiviCRM upgraded.

The 2.0 -> 2.1 upgrade is a combination of PHP and SQL scripting - so I'm not sure how / if you could run it "manually". The SQL command scripts are in CRM/Upgrade/sql directory. Seems like it'd be better to figure out the permissioning issue on the the "auto" upgrade tho.

Thanks for the insight. The only way I could overcome the permissions was to chmod my whole site to 777.  Once I did that, the file was created successfully.  However, the upgrade script does not run, only a blank page comes up.  Very frustrating...

I am going to try to muddle through the SQL scripts directory to see if I can get the DB upgraded on my own.

or the record, this is in a sndbox environment, not in a production environment  :)
