Good Morning,
Yesterday, I had attempted to do a regular update from 6.2 to 6.3. I backed up my site, extracted the 6.3 file contents onto my local; made duplicates of my sites folder and then removed all the old files/folders from the 6.2 version. After this was complete, I transferred the 6.3 files on to the site. However, when I went into the sites folder which I had backed up from 6.2, I noticed that neither the Default folder nor the All Folder were present! I scowered all over looking for my settings.php file and never found it. I came to the conclusion that something happened and during the transfer of the sites folder from the 6.2 to my local. So they were gone.
So I made a duplicate of the default.settings.php file and created a new one called settings.php and replaced the
$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';
IT still wouldn't update, nor dispaly anything but a white blank page with the url pointing to a update.php?info
After much frustration and fooling around with the settings.php file - I gave up. So I reverted back to 6.2 and STILL it won't work.
So i contacted my web host and asked them to revert my website back to a previous date; which they did; and now I get a HTTP 404 error. I cannot for the life of me, figure out what has happened.
