HI,

please, share it .

You have to do the same process as all upgrades in IPS... and like always, remember to do backups before upgrading!!!

[Saurabh Jain]

Two more steps before

1 Check compatibility with IPS 4

2 Most probably you will find in above step that you need to convert your existing database   to utf-8  so you need to use DB tool 

 

I have done this much so far....

HI,

I am getting this error, I am sure path is writable, but I am still getting this error.

I am upgrading over dedicated server with plesk 12.

 

Your session.save_path (/home/session) is not writable. You will need to contact your host to adjust your PHP configuration before you can continue.

I also have Plesk 12.

Two things I did to resolve this:

1. In your PHP settings define a new session.save_path. I defined /tmp/ as the path to use. (You can do this by editing the service plan or the hosting package itself.)
2. Download the file from this link and upload it as per the instructions.

ok, 

I could solve this problem, but now I get other problem:

It looks like there is trying to go to a previous path instead new path.

 

    [message:protected] => is_dir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/vhosts/virt1979.unelink.net/site1/uploads) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/server.keemono.com/:/tmp/)

 

EDITED: fixed problems, performing upgrade

Another problem, most of my forums have disappeared.

back to 3.4.7 again.

Is there a step by step process of backing up on Hostgator?

When backing up, do you set Backup Destination to Home Directory?

which one do we need to back up? home directory or MySQL databases?

​I just make a full back of forum folder and database.

that's all.
