Hi Don, thanks for the response
I'm trying to do an incremental upgrade, using a 5.1.1 tarball. (Aside: I don't see a 5.1.x tarball available in the downloads section - this is one I had "laying about".)
(Excuse the long post. I figure either I'll show someone else how to solve the problem, or else maybe it'll help someone to help me!)
chem_new is my openacs instance, so I did:
cp -rf openacs-5.1.1/* chem_new
(after moving the etc/ folder so that my configuration settings wouldn't get overwritten)
I can see the front page of the site, but attempting to go to /acs-admin gets me:
can't read "node_url": no such variable
while executing
"set admin_url "${node_url}admin/""
("uplevel" body line 2)
invoked from within
"uplevel 1 $code_block "
("1" arm line 1)
invoked from within
(etc etc)
So I got clever and went directly to /acs-admin/install/, which did serve up a page.
I chose "upgrade from local" and got:
Invalid switch: "-unclobber"
while executing
"template::multirow__arg_parser"
(procedure "multirow" line 1)
invoked from within
"multirow -unclobber foreach packages {
set install_url [export_vars -base install-2 { package_key repository_url }]
}"
Ok, so the unclobber switch must be new in 5.1. So I went to /acs-admin/apm/ and reloaded acs-templating.
Then I got
unknown command "subsite_id": (etc)
when I tried to do "upgrade from local".
I thought I might reload some other procs to fix it, but at that point, the acs-admin/apm page was also broken (same subsite_id message)
So I restarted the server. Based on error log spam, tcl procs loaded OK.
After restart, the acs-admin page opened up fine. I went to "upgrade from local file system", got a list of applications, checked them all, clicked the "install checked applications" button, and nothing happened. I tried with both Firefox and IE, nothing. Firefox says: "acs_ListBulkActionClick is not defined"
Any thoughts, anyone?
