Hello,

I performed the upgrade manually as per the instructions. Deleted all files except the upload folder and then uploaded all new files and replaced config.php and when I try going to the site I am redirected to /survey/index.php/admin/databaseupdate/sa/db and I get a Server Error 500 page unlike any other 500 internal server error I have ever seen.

When I replace the older version files which was working just fine I get the same error. I have tried both twice now with the same result. I have checked the server and do not see anything related to this path in any of the server logs. Does anyone know what might be going wrong?

Thanks,
Paul

databaseupdate is a new controller. Please, can you check if the file application/controllers/admin/databaseupdate.php exists on your server, and that it has the correct access rights ?

Yes, it exists. What are the correct access rights. I do not remember seeing anything about permissions in the upgrade instructions. The only thing I did was made sure the tmp folder was 777

well, the file should be readable by webuser. Could you please post the error message you get ?

no real error like I would anticipate just this page. even if I try to upload the previous install files I get the same thing now.

ok, so let's turn on debug mode to see if it provides more infos.
open the file application/config/config.php ; at the end of the file you'll find : "debug'=>0 replace it by "debug'=>2

Ok now there are errors.. I edited this as it wasn't displaying the last line of the error messages.

what version of php are you using ?

PHP Version 5.3.29

ok I updated to php 5.4.39 by adding AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php to my htaccess file and phpinfo shows this version now the error is just this.

I can try adjusting the memory.. ??

ok, so, the problem come from the translation files (under /locale). You should try to upload them again with your ftp in binary mode .

wow are you good.. Louis.. I am now at the "Please verify the following information before continuing with the database upgrade:"

I will report back after I follow the steps to complete the upgrade. I use SecureFX for FTP and the .mo files were set to ascii so I updated the global options and set mo to binary and uploaded as you said to.
