Updating from 4.6.4 to 4.7 on ubuntu 1104

Hi all
has  anybody had any success on Updating from 4.6.4 to 4.7 on ubuntu 1104
Tried a few sites &  no success.
Even the simplist of sites.
Maybe the instructions are not clear enough.
After running "tar xvfzp pluck-4_7.tar.gz"  in the top directory... it messes up the existing home page.
http://donainname/update.php will fail on every page.
Also can't continue  - unless you refresh the page.

again ---has  anybody had any success?

That's normal.

http://donainname/update.php will fail on every page.

Can you be more specific? Where in the update.php script does it fail? Does it output any errors? Didn't you forget to move it from the 'docs' directory to the root directory of your website? Maybe you forgot to update any custom themes to work with pluck 4.7 (see theming guide). Etc...

Re: Updating from 4.6.4 to 4.7 on ubuntu 1104

Hi,
I'm having some problems too upgrading my site from 4.6.4 to 4.7
I', using a custom theme derived from the original Green theme and I've updated it according the theming guide before trying the upgrade of cms.
The problems are:
1) the blog doesn't mantain the original formatting, titles are too small and date\time info are poorly formatted, resulting far less readable than before;
2) the new page naming format (with the real page name  and not the classic kop#.php file name) mad all my broken, as they conitnues pointing to old kop#.php files.

You can check it by yourself looking at my site:
this is the original site with pluck 4.6.4
this is the site upgraded to pluck 4.7
(for the error n.2 , navigate in "Progetti" page and try clicking on the images)

I'm not very experienced with php and css, so maybe they are small problems that can be fixed with simple workarounds, but I think that letting you know them can be useful.

Thanks.

1) the blog doesn't mantain the original formatting, titles are too small and date\time info are poorly formatted, resulting far less readable than before;

This needs some CSS-adjustments. See our theming guide for more information about the style properties you can use for the blog. For a quick start, you can also copy these style properties from the default theme css-file.

2) the new page naming format (with the real page name  and not the classic kop#.php file name) mad all my broken, as they conitnues pointing to old kop#.php files.

You will have to change the links in your pages to the new locations manually.

When I'll upgrade the main site to 4.7, I'll try to fix it following you guide.

This is quite an effort, so I think i'll kepp v 4.6.4 for the moment.
