XF 2.3 Oh man, completely borked my site trying to do an upgrade (by accident) :( Can anyone help?

[maethlin]

So I was running version ummm.... 2.2 something. I saw that there was a version 2.3.

Like an idiot I just went clicking through to do the upgrade... but I actually didn't mean to trigger it, just to see if it was even possible via admin console.

At the point where it gave me the warning "This is a major upgrade, please do a backup first" with a continue button, I of course chickened out. Certainly felt like the wording indicated I could still validly chicken out and do a backup first.

But nope, I never hit that continue button, just tried browsing back to the regular site, and it was already down.



Restarting apache and even rebooting didn't help.

I saw some forum post talking about doing $config['enableListeners'] = false; to revive it, and that didn't work either.

Man I'd really like to just get back to prior state, but have not done a backup in ages.

Am I just fully hosed now?

Do the xenforo guys do pro-serve? I'd actually pay someone to help me revive this as I don't have an enormous amount of time to sink into troubleshooting right now.

These are errors showing in apache error.log since things went south... not sure if useful.

I think I may be back in action... thanks to @M@arc (can't seem to tag him right) for the quick tip... just gave me direct link to upgrade page which I should have thought of trying first. And it seemed to have gotten through.

Thanks also to @JustinHawk for quick response... may still need your help if things are wonky with the site heh.

You should be doing backups of your website, as well. They are a life saver.

Agree, without backup each day can be the last one.
