Hi people just tried to do the incremental upgrade to the latest version

Copied newfiles over old

The site loads

http://myschoolteacher.com.au/

but needs to do the db upgrade when I attempted to run db upgrade.

http://myschoolteacher.com.au/admin/upgrade.php

I get 

A nonrecoverable error occurred. This probably means you have encountered a bug in the system

I get the following errors

$cfg->log_dbg_targets = LOG_TARGET_SCREEN | LOG_TARGET_ERRORLOG;
$cfg->log_info_targets = LOG_TARGET_SCREEN | LOG_TARGET_ERRORLOG;
$cfg->log_warn_targets = LOG_TARGET_SCREEN | LOG_TARGET_ERRORLOG;
$cfg->log_environ_targets = LOG_TARGET_SCREEN | LOG_TARGET_ERRORLOG;

Errors from http://myschoolteacher.com.au/admin/

Any ideas?

Just rereading is it as simple as the compile dir is not writable?

If so where is the compile dir :)

fixed it :)

There were some dirs and files in the maharadata/dwoo/compile that were nobody:nobody....

Not sure how this occured but fixed them all and upgrade done !!

Hi Ben,

Good to hear you were able to sort out your problem.

Another option you could have taken was to delete the compile directory completely if the parent directory was writable by the web server (eg www-data) as the compile directory would be recreated/ repopulated as users browsed the site.
