Utility/update failure in 2.1.6
Anonymoose
✭✭
Vanilla 2.1.6
Works fine.
But utility/update fails each time it is run (but was successful once after upgrading from 2.0).
Debug Trace shows only Info messages Need to re-index theme cache and Need to re-index plugin cache which I understand, can be ignored.
Structure shows no problems.
So how can I find out what is failing with update, and importantly, why?

run /utility/structure multiple times restructure and re-scan
It may be this issue

All suggestions followed, no result.
htaccess ? it gets overwritten and when rewrite url in config is true it causes a failure.

if you want me to take a look. pm me an admin password and login as well as a link to your site.

Good point. I don't use htaccess because I don't use an Apache server. Is there an override setting for this?
if you don't use apache .htaccess is ignored. nothing to worry about.
your web server rules for whatever should be written properly.
you didn't say what happened when you ran /utility/structure and re-scanned.

Works well.
"There are no database structure changes required. There may, however, be data changes."
set up error logging.
1 add these statements to your config.php
2 create a log folder off of the root folder of your forum
e.g. if your forum resides in /forum
create a folder (directory) called log
give it read write and execute permissions. depending on ownership of files and what the owner of your web process.
you could try 777 or lesser permissions.
775

check the DebugLog and post any errors.
then check your web server logs for errors.
immediately after you run /utility/update.
If it were me and I wanted to solve the problem and get reasonable help.
1 change to the bittersweet theme.
2 I would disable all applications EXCEPT vanilla and conversations via the dashboard.
3 I would disable all plugins via the dashboard.
then I would run utility/update
if it fails
change to
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;
if it fails try again try.
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = FALSE;
if it still fails
download all the vanilla core files and update your server again.
and repeat above.
if it still fails
short of that it is a guessing game. up to you if you want to post all info, or post as little as possible and make everyone guess. I won't guess anymore without all the info.

Thanks for the tips about the log. Will work on it.
I'll check back in 2016, to see where you are at.
