Could not upgrade from 4.0.5 to 4.4.1

Hi guys

The other day I tried upgrading a site from 4.0.5 to 4.4.1 but I ran into a challenge.

After upgrading the necessary files the site’s design was shown succesfully, but none of the articles/content was shown at all. When I tried logging into Textpattern it kept asking me for username and password as if it could not detect that I had already typed the data several times.

If there was a database problem, the site’s design (html and css) would not show, would it?

Any ideas?

You can try if resetting your password helps.

Articles, pages and styles are in different tables. While you are in phpMyAdmin, check if the ‘textpattern’ table (where the articles are stored) exists, has entries, needs repair…

Thank you, Els.

I’ll give it another try and check the database afterwards!

I don’t get it.

I tried upgrading again according to the “Upgrading to a new version”-tutorial.

When I go to domain.com/textpattern I get the following lines:

Warning: Unknown column ‘user_name’ in ‘where clause’ select name, val from txp_prefs where prefs_id=1 AND user_name=’‘ in /var/www/domain.com/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 89

The site’s frontpage is shown without any content from articles. I cannot acces any of the pages other than the frontpage.

Does anybody have a clue as to what I have done wrong?

This should not be a problem, see here.

Here is a post about a similar problem, maybe it helps you.

Have a look at this thread.

Yes, now everything looks fine again. I found an advice in the first thread you link to, saying that it might help to click the diagnostics tab in Textpattern – and everything fell into place by this simple procedure.

Thank you very much, Els!

I rarely do any web design any more, thus I really appreciate the help I always find in here. :-)
