Thanks, you are the first “live” tester! :-) Hopefully, MySQL 5.3 switch headache is gone in 4.7.2.

Re: SOLVED: 4.0.5 -> 4.7.1 update problem
On a minor note diagnostics tell me, that
- the files directory isn’t writable although permissions are 770 (solved, path was wrong in prefs), and
- “The following PHP functions (which may be necessary to run Textpattern) are disabled on your server: syslog.”
Is that problematic?

Regarding updating to 4.2.0 first: No i didn’t do this. I am aware that this procedure existed, but the update notes for 4.7.1 have put the note into a subpage so that i has escaped my attention.
:(
What kind of possible errors could i get now?
Frankly, I don’t remember, Stef (Bloke) is the right person here.

Yes for files upload, no for syslog.

Re: SOLVED: 4.0.5 -> 4.7.1 update problem
Worked for me as well!
FIX:
— Uploaded Textpattern 4.7.1 to server
— Made two empty files,_to_1.0.0.phpand_to_4.0.2.phpin update folder
and used_to_4.6.0.phpfrom dev version 4.7.2 @ github
— Then ran /textpattern/update/update.php directly
Frontend and backend are back, languages are updated, yay!

Hmmm, maybe we shouldn’t have removed them. Perhaps the upgrade script from very old versions expects them to exist for reasons I can’t quite fathom right now. It’s no hardship to add those empty files back into Txp 4.7.2 if it helps upgradeability.
Anyone have any insight why this might be necessary? Or if we can work around it?

Since the files are gone (dunno why and when), I have removed their includes in 4.7.2 _update.php. That’s all I know…

Ahhh, that explains it. I see now that they’re referenced in 4.7.1’s _update.php but the files themselves were removed. Oopsie. In which case, having those DB entries removed from the _update.php array in 4.7.2 should fix things. Nice one. We should probably mention that in HISTORY.txt when we talk about improving the upgrade experience.

Ups. I have the exact same problem after trying to update from 4.6.2 to 4.8.1 in preparation for a PHP update from 5.5 to 7.4 … Textpattern backend is available, frontend is gone with error “Unknown section”. In backend there’s a couple error notes, see below.
Oh and the above solution fails …
Any ideas??
