SOLVED: 4.0.5 -> 4.7.1 update problem

After updating from 4.0.5 to 4.7.1 i can’t see neither backend nor frontend.
Frontend gives me “unknown section”.
Backend reports errors:
“Warning “include(/xxx/www/textpattern/update/_to_1.0.0.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory”
in /xxx/www/textpattern/update/_update.php at line 91.

textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:1715 adminErrorHandler()
textpattern/update/_update.php:91 updateErrorHandler()
textpattern/update/_update.php:91 include()
textpattern/index.php:214 include()

User_Error “Unknown column ‘user_name’ in ‘where clause’”
in /xxx/www/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php at line 410.

textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:1715 adminErrorHandler()
updateErrorHandler()
textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php:410 trigger_error()
textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php:829 safe_query()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:4795 safe_field()
textpattern/vendors/Textpattern/L10n/Lang.php:244 get_pref()
textpattern/update/_update.php:114 Textpattern\L10n\Lang->available()
textpattern/index.php:214 include()

What can be done there? Thanx much in advance, I know it’s a rare case.
Client came back after ten years, because his hoster updated from PHP 5.3 to 7.2.

EDIT: Unfortunately i have no option to downgrade mysql to 5.3 again. The hoster doesn’t allow that. Otherwise i could do, what Gallex did in this thread.

Re: SOLVED: 4.0.5 -> 4.7.1 update problem

You can try to pick the whole update folder from 4.7.2, it shouldn’t go beyond 4.7.1 anyway.

Edit: this is weird : Warning “include(/xxx/www/textpattern/update/_to_1.0.0.php): failed to open stream. Normally, you don’t need 1.0.0 when updating from 4.0.5, check version value in txp_prefs table if you can. _to_1.0.0.php file is not included in the folder, but you can create an empty one to please the update script.

Or rather pick just 4.6.0 to be prudent.

Thank you, etc. Which value exactly from txp_prefs table? TXP version still says 4.0.5 there.

And regarding the update.php scripts, are you proposing to only run /textpattern/_to_4.6.0.php from the 4.72 repository on it’s own?

Search for name = 'version'. And forget about that, rather try this.

TXP prefs: version says 4.0.5 there.

And regarding the update.php scripts, are you proposing to directly run /textpattern/_to_4.6.0.php from the 4.72 repository on it’s own?

tl;dr – upgrade pre-4.2.0 Textpattern to 4.2.0, then upgrade to the current version

Additional to all Oleg/etc’s info: jayrope, did you do it this way?

No, just replace _to_4.6.0.php in your 4.7.1 /textpattern/update folder by this from 4.7.2, then go to admin part. Since your version is lower than 4.7.1, the update script should run again.

Re: SOLVED: 4.0.5 -> 4.7.1 update problem

FIX:
made two empty files, _to_1.0.0.php and _to_4.0.2.php in update folder.
Then ran /textpattern/update/update.php directly.
Backend shows up, no errors, txp_prefs says 4.7.1

Will examine further.
THANK YOU, etc and Uli.

EDIT: i DID replace the _to_4.6.0.php before running the updater.

Great! Have you used _to_4.6.0.php from 4.7.1 or 4.7.2, please?

Re: SOLVED: 4.0.5 -> 4.7.1 update problem

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?
