Upgrading redirect issue

nbruley

After closing the site to upgrade from 1.4.5.1 and just run the setup scripts on the same files to test them, I am redirected to https://mysite.com/zenphoto/plugins/site_upgrade/plugins/site_upgrade/plugins/site_upgrade/plugins/site_upgrade/plugins/site_upgrade/plugins/site_upgrade/plugins/site_upgrade/plugins/site_upgrade/plugins/site_upgrade/plugins/site_upgrade/closed.php
What might be going on here?

Your site is closed in Maintenance mode (see Upgrading #7.).

For more information about it, see here.

To get back to the Admin page to open your site, see here.

For acrylian, the Installation and Upgrading page mentions a step for the site closing when running setup, but it does not have a step for what to do to open the site again. That might be worth adding.

Sorry, I don't understand your answer very well. #10 states "Once the files are uploaded, navigate to www.yoursite.com/zenphoto/ (if you have installed Zenphoto within the folder zenphoto). Setup.php will run. If it somehow does not, please navigate directly to www.yoursite.com/zenphoto/zp-core/setup.php. Info about the required permissions if you run into issues." I tried going to both /zenphoto/ and /zenphoto/zp-core/setup.php and neither one run setup.php. They just take me to a strange URL. Previously, even if the files didn't change, it would still show me the setup page.

There is a red note with a link in the admin tool bar on top of the page and also on the backend itself noting that the sitet is closed and where to change it. Of course older releases don't have that.

You can also disable it in 1.6.x via the config file.

The "strange URL" you actually refer is the one you noted in the first post? That is the closed for mainttenance url in general although you seem to get weird long one. I have no idea why.

But you need to be loggedin with full admin rights to perform an upgrade. If you directly upgraded from 1.4.1.5 to the current 1.6.x we don't recommend that. as it is not tested.
