Problems with 1.4.5 upgrade was created by joma
Hi,

My site is: genea.jorgemota.pt

Currently I have it with 1.4.1 (and all works fine), but I read about security problems and I want upgrade to 1.4.5 (I can't upgrade to 1.5.1 because I use simpl_grey theme).
I made a backup of my site files and database, and overwrite with 1.4.5 files. The admin area works well, but in my home page no data are showed, only the hourglass icons. I try with the default "webtrees" theme and the result is the same. I have reverted to my backup files (1.4.1) and all works fine again!

My question is, how can I make this upgrade to 1.4.5?

Note: my web server is Nginx, but works well with 1.4.1 as i said and it's possible to confirm in the above url.

Thanks in Advance.

Are there any errors in the webtrees error log?
Are there any errors in the nginx error log?

I don't have any entry in my nginx log file related with webtrees.

But I don't know where can I find the webtree log?

Administration -> Logs

These are stored in the database. If you restored your 1.4.1 database, you will have overwritten the error logs.

Can you upgrade to 1.4.5 again, and let us see the "home page hourglass icons".

Thank you!

I don't restore 1.4.1 backup because I think is the same schema! But there are not any errors!
I have upgraded to 1.45 again. The problem is visible in simpl_grey or on any other theme.

Sorry my mistake the icon is a progress bar!

Your upgrade missed one or more files in the folder webtrees/js

In particular webtrees-1.4.2.js is missing.

Yes you are right!I don't have webtrees-1.4.2.js. But my intention is the upgrade from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5. I need to install 1.4.2 first?

I only have:

webtrees-1.4.1.js
webtrees-1.4.5.js

Solved!

The problem is the missing webtrees-1.4.2.js file (I found it in kiwi-webtrees1.4.4.1.zip)!
The zip file I downloaded from webtrees.net with 1.4.5 don't have this file.

Thank you all!

Generally, the reason each has a version number as part of the naming scheme is that it is that particular file that is necessary for the proper operation of that particular version. Using v-1.4.2 you need the right js.

With "simpl" themes and addons, some have requirements beyond these conventions, so there are special files Nigel has used/required. His products are not compatible with v1.5, although some users have providing their own recoding of these program features.

Regardless, no one should be using 1.4.2.
