XF 2.3 Upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3

[tomoya]

The web based update did not work so I went for the manual approach and uploaded the files (upgrade package). But I didn't merge (I instead replaced) so I was not able to do the install process and my site is down.

I'm now uploading the files (full package) and will try the install again.
Is this the right approach given where I'm at?

I'm now uploading the files (full package)

Don't do that.
The full archive is for new installations only.

What was the initial error?

 

[tomoya]

I think the initial error when I tried to update via the web was an Internal Server Error.
I then uploaded files (upgrade package) but I did it incorrectly. And when I went to mysite.com/install, it was asking for my DB information. Then it created a config file and then when I went back to mysite.com/install it said:

There are at least 26 file(s) that do not appear to have the expected contents. Reupload the XenForo files and refresh this page. Only continue if you are sure all files have been uploaded properly.

That's when I realized I messed up with the upload.
So now I've uploaded the full package.

It still gives that same message at mysite.com/install about at least 26 file(s)
Any recommendation on what to do now?

Did you go to install and redo the installation since you uploaded the upgrade package? Thats the only way the files will get fixed.

After I uploaded the upgrade package, I tried to do the install but it said that some files do not appear to have the expected contents. So I did not continue with the upgrade.
Then I uploaded the full package (also when I posted here) and it gives the same message and I have not clicked Continue.

When visiting my site, it says "The site is currently being upgraded. Please check back later."
And I can't see the Admin panel for my site anymore except on the mysite.com/install page

My internal_data and data directories have information in them.
internal_date also has install-lock.php

Should I click the "Begin upgrade" button?

 

[Old Nick]

click and see

 

[tomoya]

Well, I clicked and it went through a bunch of steps and then said the Upgrade was completed successfully.
But then the site does not load and gives this error:

Can you access the ACP?

 

[tomoya]

Seems like this might be a Redirection extension I had install when originally migrating to XF. I think I need to disable it somehow

 

[tomoya]

Can you access the ACP?

No, it gives that same error

 

[Old Nick]

Edit your config.php file: src/config.php and turn this from true to false then try to access your ACP

$config['enableListeners'] = false;

 

[tomoya]

Thank you!!

I edited the config.php file and added that line (it was not present). And now I am in the ACP.
I've disabled all 3 add-ons I have (all said they were missing files).
And then I edited the config.php and set that flag to true

And now the site is up again. OMG, what a relief! I'm sure I'll need to test things out more but at least it loads now

I had an internal server error too when trying to upgrade 2.2 to 2.3 and it was because the upgrade installer was triggering my server's Web Application Firewall (WAF). It seems very sensitive, and that's probably a good thing--usually. But I ended up turning it off for a couple minutes, completed the upgrade, and then turned it back on, so that I could successfully change to 2.3
