Gallery blank, could be PHP upgrade? - acrylian - 2022-08-04
I have checked the domain you mailed me and it returns a 404 error. That suggests something is really not right…
Can you confirm that all files as noted on the section on https://www.zenphoto.org/news/installation-and-upgrading/ are present?

I can access the back-end and host says everything is fine. Host is Dreamhost. I'm so confused, it's like it just went blank overnight.
Going to try the upgrade route this weekend when I get a gap. Thanks and I'll report back. REALLY do appreciate your assistance. Thank you.

Really weird as that normally does not happen just randomly. But without proper errors it hard to narrow down.
Before you try the direct upgrade you could also try a plain re-upload of the 1.5.7 files first. Just in case just a file got broken for whatever reason…

Sorry for the long silence, real work got in the way!
So I finally tried to upgrade to 1.5.9 and followed the steps linked above, and it now displays the "site is undergoing an upgrade" page.
However, it still does this even if I go to /zp-core/setup.php or /zp-core/admin.php so no idea how to actually get around this now.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
EDIT: I may be the stupidest person here. I dont think I even actually uploaded the /zp-core/ folder. Doing it now. I'm really not a tech person! LOL

No problem, does here constantly as well (and life, too ;-))
Did you login with your admin rights account before doing the upgrade?
You try to disable the maintenance mode by editing the config file $conf['site_upgrade_state'] and set it to "open". Then you should be able to run setup which must happen in any case.
If that alone does not work, remove the config file (keep your data to re-fill in).

Thanks acrylian.
But purely down to my lack of skills and being stupid. As soon as I finished uploading the /zp-core/ folder for 1.5.9 I could run the setup and within minutes the site is back to normal. Total time to do: under 15min.
Thank you once again, it's really appreciated.

Great you managed it. That's how it should work actually!
