I'm trying to update to 2.7.0 from 2.6.1.

I've done this on one website we have, but the other just isn't playing...

I'm doing the exact same thing (And also tried this 3 times and still getting the same issue) It gets to the point where I agree to the terms & conditions, then goes to this URL:

http://website.com/admin.php?C=wizard&M=do_update&language=english&ajax_progress=yes

And displays a Google Chrome error:

Server error

I normally see these errors when there is a missing DB file, or an error with the DB. But I've restored it back, ensured the CMS worked, then tried again and it still doesn't do it.

Console isn't showing anything neither.

What could be causing this?

  • this was an error that seemed to be around a while back. IIRC the fix then was to disable JS and try it that way. I think Firefox handled it better than Chrome did.

    @Anna_MediaGirl Yeah - I placed the "third_party" add-ons in after the update and this worked. I also tried removing field pack and that worked also. Would this cause any problems? I've found most of the add-ons i'm using have got updates for 2.7.0 so I'm safe :)

I was having this same error going from 2.6.1 to 2.7.0. Here's how I got around it.

Don't upload your system -> third party folders until after you run the installer.

I followed all the steps here: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/installation/update.html except for uploading the add-ons to third party at the end of #3, ran the update and everything was fine. Then afterwards I uploaded the add-ons and everything was still okay.

It looks like conflict for you is on the add-on with the folder 'pt_field_pack'. For me it was a plugin called Safecracker Registration. You could optionally just take out the 'pt_field_pack' folder before running the install too.

Also, if afterwards in case you get an error in your control panel that says 'Your ExpressionEngine installation’s version (2.6.1) is not consistent with the reported version (2.7.0). Please update your installation of ExpressionEngine again.' refer to this thread: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/237540/ and open system/installer/updates/ud_270.php and ADD this code ABOVE line 1050:

    if (empty($data))
{
    return;
}

    Not sure why this got down voted... Because it worked and so do all the add-ons even when I place them in the 'third_party' folder - After the update. Thanks! :)

Have you updated "pt field pack" with new "Field Pack" as well?
