Let us know how your upgrade to 2.5.1 went and what you think about the latest release.

Maybe add some clarification, for those upgrading from PL1 to 2.5.1?

Just upgraded from v2.5.0 PL1 to v2.5.1. Everything OK here.

[michael_s]

PL1 and 2.5.0 are identical as far as the upgrade is concerned.

I've upgraded from PL1 and after uploading the files all I now get is a blank page with a 500 Internal Server Error. Therefore I can't run the upgrade on the database. I could do it manually but worried it will make things worse.

Any ideas what I've done wrong or left out. I thought maybe it was the htaccess file possibly?

[michael_s]

No idea. It is a simple FTP upload and then login to the admin.

500 errors typically mean wrong file ownership or permissions, or even partial/corrupt uploads. Upload the files again and make sure they are owned by the correct user:group and have the correct permissions. Usually if you FTP into the account, all that is handled automatically. But, if you use SFTP as root or some other user, then ownership will be all wrong.

There is no .htaccess file in the upload. Just .htaccess.new which will not have any effect.

Thanks for the advice. I'm using FileZilla to upload them and seem to remember having this issue before. I'll download Dreamweaver and give that a try and I've recently reinstalled Windows and can't remember what setting I changed. If any. I'll let you know if I fix it.

Dreamweaver didn't make any difference however I uploaded the full package and it now works. One of the original files not in the patch must have got deleted somehow. Strangely though after uploading the admin folder the backend started to work but not the frontend. I then uploaded the rest and it all worked so more than one file must have caused the problem.

Thanks for you help.
