    Permissions problem while upgrading

    Hey guys..

    i am trying to update from version 1.6 to 1.6.1
    my files were migrated from a host to another and Atutor stopped working so i am trying to upgrade and fix the problem too..

    here is the error message i am getting:
    Warning: require(../../old_lms/include/config.inc.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/manhag/public_html/lms/install/include/ustep1.php on line 37

    Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../old_lms/include/config.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/manhag/public_html/lms/install/include/ustep1.php on line 37

    PHP version: 5.2.6

    Re: Permissions problem while upgrading

    Have you set the permissions on the config.inc.php file to be writable?

    The content directory will also need to be writable.

    See the installation and upgrade documentation for details.

    Re: Permissions problem while upgrading

    the config.ini.php and the content directories are world writable !

    the error reported above happens at "Step 1: Locate Old Version"

    i followed the upgrade documentation where i renamed the old one and put the new one within the same directory

    have i missed any thing ?

    The old version and new version need to be beside each other, in the same directory. Not one within the other.

    they are beside each other, sorry for the misunderstanding

    By the way, the version of php on the old host was 4.x and the one on the new host is 5.x, does that make a difference ?

    Re: Permissions problem while upgrading

    the problem was solved, it was related to the write permissions but with config.ini.php of the new installation.

    but i have a new problem, when i come to step 6 "Step 6: Content Files", i find a blank screen !
    what can i do now ?
