Hi all,

 Haven't seen this error elsewhere on the forum, so must be me doing something stupid :)

 upgrading a site from 1.17 to 1.23 on ubuntu/mysql -I've removed the 117 htdocs folder and moved in the new 123 htdocs folder and  copied over my config.php file, then tried running the upgrade --

Failed opening required 'dml.php'

dml does not exist in the new htdocs/lib folder - so I copied it over from 117

Failed opening required 'adodb files' -copied over adodb folder from 117

Failed opening required '/var/www/mahara/htdocs/theme/raw/themeconfig.php'

gave up.

Any ideas?

Hi Paul,

 It sounds like you're missing some of the files which are distributed with Mahara. Are you sure you copied the whole htdocs directory?

I would be wary of copying files from 1.1.7, that's likely to cause bizarre problems.

Are you using a custom theme or one of the standard ones? Custom themes need to be ported when going from 1.1 to 1.2:

yes - that's it . I've just checked my original downloaded zip file and the files are there - but they're missing from my extracted htdocs folder. I'll re-extract the zip and start again

Thanks!
