The message when logging in says it's going to upgrade me to 1.5, I click the button and it thinks about it for a second then I just see a white screen. Nothing is being logged in the log viewer. -Mel

My guess is something was getting cached that needed to get cleared out. However, then when I saw the blank screen, nothing was showing up in the logs. -Mel

Are you getting the error after you attept the upgrade? Did you log out and log back in first to see if the update was installed? Are you Running Rilo? Have you installed the logviewer plugin? Have you checked your error logs for more info? - Mark - www.visual28.com | www.mangowear.com

Laura Wizard Joined: 01/29/05 Posts: 1521	04/06/11 9:25 AM You won't get any upgrade notice if my server is down. You will also get "connection refused" if the server is down. By the way, it is not advised to add update=1 to the URL to force the update, as there are reasons why the upgrade notice doesn't appear in the first place.

Collectonian Joined: 06/19/10 Posts: 17	04/06/11 9:32 AM I didn't get to attempt the upgrade. I have Mango 1.4.3 on one site, 1.5 on the other. Neither shows me the upgrade prompt (they did a few weeks ago, but I didn't try the upgrade at the time). These are both on fresh log ins. Not running Rilo, it is a ColdFusion 9 system, in a hosted environment, running on Linux, probably RedHat. I was able to successfully upgrade before, when I moved that second site up to 1.5. I do not have the logviewer plugin (never heard it until now). I looked in the log folder, however, and it was empty.

This is a question for Laura: Does adding update=1 to the url force any part of the app to overwrite anything and cause it to stop checking for a newer version? - Mark - www.visual28.com | www.mangowear.com

Collectonian Joined: 06/19/10 Posts: 17	04/06/11 1:34 PM I was able to upgrade my 1.4.3 site to 1.5, then did the 1.6 upgrade. I have to do manual upgrades since I'm in a hosted environment. The first one worked fine, but when I did the 1.6 upgrade, the admin site is giving this error: You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class java.lang.String as a structure with members. The error occurred in /REDACT/httpdocs/admin/editorSettings.cfm: line 46 Called from /REDACT/httpdocs/admin/layout.cfm: line 28 Called from /REDACT/httpdocs/admin/index.cfm: line 25 44 :        45 :        46 :       plugin_asffileexplorer_browseurl : '#blog.getSetting('urls').admin#assets/editors/tinymce_3/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/asffileexplorer/fileexplorer.cfm', 47 :       plugin_asffileexplorer_assetsUrl:'#fileUrl#', 48 :       file_browser_callback : 'ASFFileExplorerPlugin_browse' I tried reuploading the files again, with no luck. Did I miss a step somewhere? The front end is working fine.
