Stylesheet editor broken after update attempt

livelifeloud · 2013-09-06 10:24:41

Hello, so I’m relatively new to Textpattern after I took over from the web guy at my company.

I tried to update to version 4.5.4 from 4.2.0, but it just wasn’t working, and instead of trying to figure it out, I decided to revert back to 4.2 as we need the site to be live asap, and thought I could worry about it at a later date.

After replacing the 4.5.4 files with my old 4.2.0 files, my stylesheet editor and section editor in admin are not connecting: getting notices at the top like:

Notice: Undefined index: edit_raw_css_by_default in /home/proitprint/public_html/textpattern/include/txp_css.php on line 60

so obviously something wasn’t transferred back properly or theres something wrong with the txp_css.php, but I can’t figure out what.

I should also note that in the diagnostics page this is popping up:

The following PHP functions (which may be necessary to run Textpattern) are disabled on your server: fork

Any help much appreciated :)

Thanks

Welcome to the Textpattern forum!

Do you have green lines on Admin > Diagnostics? If not (which I assume) please post the contents of the textarea on that page.

You hadn’t edited your post when I wrote my response. Can’t tell anything re PHP modules, sorry.

There are no green lines I’m afraid.

You did do a backup of your database prior to attempting the upgrade, right?

If so revert back to that. When you perform an upgrade various settings in the database tables are updated for new/changed functionality and settings, so downgrades aren’t as simple as placing the old Textpattern version back on your site.

If not, I’d personally look into the reasons why the site isn’t working in v4.5, since that version of Textpattern is much more secure (and generally nicer all round) than v4.2.

Textpattern version 4.2.0 has various publicly known major critical security vulnerabilities; including few remote code execution vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities were resolved in releases 4.4.0 (exploits) and 4.4.1 (CSRF protection); you truly should update at least to 4.4.1 as soon as possible, if you want to keep the site safe.

Thanks everyone. Yes it did turn out to be me not uploading the backed-up database properly.

I’m not sure why the update didn’t work in the first place though, I replaced all the necessary files from the download etc. I’ll give it another go on Monday and come back if it doesn’t work again.
