Running update.php

Thank you for your response. I followed your instructions. I was always signed in as admin otherwise I can't access my domain on the server. I made the change in the update file as you suggested. However, I still get the same error message. In the file itself I found the following error message:

• • • ERROR • • •
{$lang_update_php['errors_encountered']}:
{$error_msg}

I don't know what to do except for sticking to the old version 1.5.20

If you removed the reference to {$debug_mode} as Andrι suggested - I would expect your error message has changed...

What you found in the file is just how an error message (if received) is output to the page.

You do want to complete the upgrade. 1.5.20 has several security exposures that have been fixed since.

Perhaps attaching screen print(s) of what you are doing would help...
Otherwise one of us would need admin access to the site to look further.  (do NOT post any credentials here... )

Hello Coppermine experts!

I had no guts for a month to try to update but today I had enough courage to try again.

Previously I copied the anycontent and config files to the albums folder and renamed that folder to 'albumsorg', as a precaution. This time I made a copy of the whole coppermine folder (which is called by me as 'themas') and called that copy 'themascopy'. After that I uploaded ALL of Coppermine 1.5.42 to the folder 'themas'. Next I runned the update.php (which I had changed as was suggested) by just clicking on it ... with the same result as before: a critical error. So, I thought to update in the polite way, the way it is prescribed in the upgrade manual by entering in the adress bar http://yourdomain.tld/your_coppermine_folder/update.php (ofcourse I changed that to adress of my photogallery). That brought a new obstacle: a page called 'Welcome to Coppermine Update' where I had to fill in my autorisation data. First I used my administrator autorisation data but those were not recognised. So I used my coppermine autorisation data, with the same result.

That whole update thing is a nightmare! What to do to upgrade to 1.5.42??

gmc:
The two credentials that should work are your CPG admin id/password - or the database userid/password specified in include/config.inc.php
Sounds like you tried the CPG admin - no idea why that wouldn't work - but try the database credentials instead.

Okay! At last I was succesful in updating. It worked! I have updated to 1.5.42. Now I notice there is a new update ... pfff...
