XF 1.4 "You have already completed installation."

[WearableTechForums.com]

I twice uploaded 1.4.3 files and tried upgrading, but I'm getting this error. Please help, as my forum is now inoperable.

You have already completed installation. If you wish to reinstall, please delete the file internal_data/install-lock.php.

Have you deleted the internal_data/install-lock.php file?

 

[WearableTechForums.com]

No. I don't wish to reinstall. I want to upgrade from 1.4.2 to 1.4.3.

 

[Tower]

Try deleting the file and retry the installation.

 

[WearableTechForums.com]

Sigh. Now I seem to have gotten it, by going to /install/index.php rather than /install/. I don't know why this was a problem.

 

[WearableTechForums.com]

Oh no. This totally killed my installation. My website is broken!

What happened!?

 

[oman]

Did you use the full installation package, or the update package only?

 

[WearableTechForums.com]

The update.

 

[WearableTechForums.com]

Although I do see that the update is the same filesize as the full. This seems like a problem. Maybe the wrong one downloaded. But I did it twice!

 

[WearableTechForums.com]

Considering reverting everything.

Are you talking about this forum? http://wearabletechforums.com/forums/

 

[WearableTechForums.com]

Yes. A ton of features have gone missing. FontAwesome is disabled. There are lots of things gone.

 

[Dan]

It is running fine. The only thing that seems messed up is the route prefix

Due respect, but unless we are not seeing the same thing, you do not realize how many things are missing. The homepage does not even work: http://wearabletechforums.com/news/

One of many problems in admin/

 

[Dan]

Sorry, yeah. I don't know what is missing but I asked you to check your route prefixes for the homepage problem (i thought that was the only thing wrong as I can browse your site without issue) -

The prefixes are correct.

Sounds like you may have overwrote your folders as opposed to merging them.
AS you can see here -

Your graphics are no longer there which tells me the style folder (and most likely every other folder) was overwritten.

Pain in the butt but redownload all your addons and reupload all the files (do not install anything via the xml, just upload)

Thank you. Yes, I just came to the same hypothesis. Luckily I believe my local files were all up to date. I merged the files locally this time and am uploading everything now. I'm using Transmit for FTP, and I didn't realize that drag-and-drop replace would replace folders rather than files. This is not the way Finder works on Mac, for instance. Hopefully this works!
