[resolved] Upgrade to 3.2 Admin not working. (25 posts)

    Hello,
    I just ran the upgrade to 3.2 and my main site seems to be un-affected, but I just get a blank screen when trying to do any admin functions. Post messages, configure etc.

    I tried removing my theme, changing the name of the plugins directory and removing the "active plugins" from the database. The only change I saw was when I removed the active plugins from the database I got the following error instead of the blank screen:

    `Fatal error: Cannot run code from this file in conjunction with non encoded files in /home/user/public_html/wp-includes/version.php on line 284

    Any info on what I can do to fix the admin section would be greatly appreciated.

    The version.php file has only 43 lines, sounds like a failed update or even some kind of exploit. Probably best would be to delete wp-admin and wp-includes directories then update manually (through FTP). After that check all remaining files (plugins, themes, uploads, etc.) for suspicious code.

    My version.php only has 43 lines of code too. That's where I ran into a wall when trying to debug it.

    I am assuming that version.php got included into another file somewhere.

    I guess I will try a manual install tomorrow and see if that helps.

    I was having the same fatal error in version.php on line 284 issue.

    I unclicked all the options I had enabled.. deactivated W3 Total Cache (running APC)and after reactivating W3 Total Cache my fatal errors no longer come up (so far).

    Hope that helps.

    Hi JasonSB, thanks for the response. Did you change these options in phpMyAdmin or somewhere else.

    Also, I am thinking it might be time to do a clean install. I looked at my database and see tables for plugins I deleted. Is there a way to start with a clean site and import just posts and users etc into a brand new 3.2 database?

    Or should I just try replacing all the php files with clean install files?

    Thanks in advance,

    Not having any luck, I disabled plugins and themes and no dice.

    Does anyone have an easy way to start with a clean database and install and just import my posts and users?

    Ok I restored a backup and got back to 3.1.4 Any tips on what I can do now to insure I get to 3.2 with no more hick ups?

    Do a test install of 3.2 in a sub-directory (if you can), then add the same theme and plugins as on the live site. That will let you test them all first.

    Did you edit your options table with phpMyAdmin? Restore it from your backup.

    I'm new to this so I'm not really sure,
    does phpMyadmin automatically back things up,
    if so where do I find it.

    if back up is dome manually then, It might be hopeless

    is there any option?

    Go to your wp_options table in PHPmyAdmin, find line 45 (templates) and 46 (stylesheet), then change the names there to: twentyten

    That will get your WordPress Admin going again.

    No automatic backup in phpMyAdmin. Perhaps ask your host to restore this table only (but first make backup so if something goes wrong you don't loose the other tables!).

    I already done emailing my host

    I see how do you create back-up?

    Don't back-up anything now - it could overwrite your old backup (the one that works). Some hosts only archive 1 backup at a time.

    I'd say wait for your host to help you now.

    @Author76 you can make a database backup yourself with phpMyAdmin, log in there and export all WP tables one by one, and save them on your computer. It's a good idea to find a step-by-step guide on the Internet on how to use phpMyAdmin for that if you're unsure.

    I have 3.2 working on my server now. The techs on my site determined that the problem was APC (Alternative PHP Cache). They put a custom php.ini file in my directory which disables APC on my account only, and 3.2 seems to be working.

    I am not sure what consequences this will on performance yet, and I am not sure how a release of WordPress got released without finding out that it has problems with some PHP caches? But hopefully this will help you get up and running.

    Hopefully WordPress will fix this asap so I can run caching again.

    Thanks,

    I'm using APC 3.1.9 without any issues. What version do you have? It could be a version conflict.

    @Ipstenu and @codemonkeyx I'm back to having the same issue.. when I disable W3 Total Cache all 284 issues go away. I'm going to contact my dedicated server hosting and see if it's the same issue as codemonkeyx.

    We are both running APC and both ran into the same 284 line problem.

    I seriously doubt it's a coincident.

    @JasonSB I asked them if I would run into any performance problems with APC and they said "only if you don't use any caching plugins." I don't so I was not too worried about it. But let me know if you run into any performance issues.

    I have been trying to find out what version of APC they have installed, but have not opened a ticket yet. I was trying to figure it out myself, and the site was working so I am not in a rush anymore. :)

    Site's working here..too.. but.. it's obviously an error somewhere. We shouldn't have these issues while working in the backend.

    @JasonSB so it was the APC on your site too?

    @Codemonkeyx online help wants me to talk to their uppers. I'm about to call my host up to find out. I'll leave the solution.. if there is one.. in this thread.

    Switch-off Zend in your server.
