updating 4.4.1 > 4.6.2
i would like to update site using txp 4.4.1 and letters like ä, ö, ü, õ. how to do it correctly? do i need to update database character set? please guide me step-by-step.
at first i tried to update PHP 5.3.29 > 5.4.45 (min requirements for 4.6.2), but get error message straight away:
Strict Standards: Non-static method timezone::is_dst() should not be called statically in /www/apache/domains/www.varaleidja.ee/htdocs/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 2545
Strict Standards: Non-static method timezone::is_supported() should not be called statically in /www/apache/domains/www.varaleidja.ee/htdocs/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 2713
downgraded PHP back to 5.3.29

Hi Gallex
There was a similar problem before. There is a plugin by ruud which updates the database to utf8 and another one which converts it to utf8mb4.

Hi,
If you can create a subdomain, clone your site there and duplicate also the DB, change the config.php to point to the duplicated DB, upgrade the php version, update the txp version of the subdomain to 4.6.2 to see if things goes well or not.
Cheers.

Re: updating 4.4.1 > 4.6.2
hmmm. i am trying to help a friend go from 4.4.1 to 4.6.2
I am getting all kinds of errors along the lines shown above plus
Strict Standards: Non-static method theme::init() should not be called statically in /Users/walter/Sites/ronelmy/textpattern/index.php on line 130
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /Users/walter/Sites/ronelmy/textpattern/index.php:92) in /Users/walter/Sites/ronelmy/textpattern/lib/txplib_head.php on line 50
when i login to the broken admin there is no diagnostic tab nor a preferences tab!
i am stumped.
Plus i am not able to run the update.
is it possible to just install the latest TxP and then update the DB with the original DB content? or is this wishful thinking?

Hi bici
I take it that you have a backup of the db which you can upload along with txp4.6.2 and see if the errors persist

You can delete the db via phpmyadmin and install the new one.
You can check this tip as it explains how you can do it using the terminal.

Has the language been updated? (under Admin>Languages)

Re: updating 4.4.1 > 4.6.2
Try visiting the front end first, then logging out and back in again. And also check your PHP version is modern enough (5.6+ I think).
