Problem with upgrade was created by MontrealSoft
Hi, I tried to upgrade my site today using the web interface. 
The download would timeout so I set the timeout to 60 seconds.
The download now was ok, decompression was ok, but it quit after that (another timeout),
but after that the site gave an error 500.
I found the temp site that was just unzipped, and copied it to the root.

Now I have a "This website is down for maintenance. You should  try again  in a few minutes.".

Can you help ?

Thanks !

See webtrees.net/upgrade/manual/

webtrees.net FAQ wrote: Manual Upgrade Steps

  • Download webtrees-2.1.18.zip, webtrees-2.0.26.zip or webtrees-1.7.20.zip as appropriate.
  • Unpack this file on your computer. You should have a folder called webtrees.
  • Create a file data/offline.txt on the server. If it contains a message, it will be shown to your users. If it is empty, a default message will be shown. The file must have this exact name and location - even if you have chosen a different data folder in the control panel.
  • Upload the contents of the webtrees folder to the corresponding folder on your web server.
  • Delete the file data/offline.txt.


It looks like only the last step is not done. But to be sure and avoid unpleasant surprises I'd personally just do the whole procedure again manually.

stamboom.BertKoor.nl runs on webtrees v2.1.20

Great thanks it worked ! I suspected there was a flag somewhere putting the system in maintenance.
And the offline.txt was exactly it. Thanks !!

the flag is offline.txt, created at the beginning of the auto upgrade.
