Problem upgrading to 0.9.3

[dajare]

I am attempting to upgrade from 0.9.2 to 0.9.3. At first, I just replaced the index.php file, since it seemed that this was all that was needed. However, that left me with a white screen when I visited the site, so I replaced it with my backed-up index.php (0.9.2) version until I had time to do a full, proper re-install.

So this morning I did a "full" 0.9.2 > 0.9.3 upgrade:

• I backed up the full Shaarli directory (including /data directory, of course!).
• I uploaded the 0.9.3 zip to my host, unzipped, and put the contents in my Shaarli directory.
• I replaced the /data directory with my backed-up version.
• And ... whitescreen! :(

I checked page source and there's nothing. This is hard for me to work out! I checked the contents of .htaccess files, and all seems fine. The permissions are as they should be: 755 for directories; 644 for files. My PHP version is 5.6 ("supported").

I can't think of what else to check. Any help appreciated!

A blank page is usually a PHP fatal error. Can you check your web server logs?

The permissions are as they should be: 755 for directories; 644 for files.

Not necessarily. What is needed is that the user running the web server (Apache HTTPD, Nginx, PHP-FPM) has read access to PHP resources, and write access to data and cache folder, see https://shaarli.readthedocs.io/en/master/Shaarli-configuration/

See also https://shaarli.readthedocs.io/en/master/Upgrade-and-migration/ for the recommended upgrade paths.

Thanks both. I actually did read the docs (!) but was too careless.

I did the "fresh installation" version ... but because I moved my /data directory in before running the configuration, I got the whitescreen. I removed my /data, ran the install script, then restored my /data directory, and now all is well.

Many thanks for the speedy replies. Yet another case of "user error", I'm afraid. :flushed:

You're welcome, glad you got your Shaarli back online ;-)
