Civicrm crashed during upgrade

[partibrejker2]

Hi, today i tried to upgrade extension and it crashed my Civicrm.
I can access Joomla normally, but when i click on Civicrm, it shows HTTP ERROR 500.

Civicrm is 4.7
Joomla 3.8.7.
PHP Version 7.0.30

@mlutfy I did an update today to v 3.3 that also resulted in a white screen. Reverting to v2.9 solved the issue

CiviCRM 5.1.0
PHP 5.6.33-0+deb8u1
WP 4.9.6

Here is the error from the php error log.

hi @partibrejker2, did you update to the packaged version with the "vendor" directory? c.f. https://github.com/mlutfy/ca.bidon.reporterror/releases/tag/3.1 (reporterror-3.1.tar.gz)

If not, what is the method you currently use? I guess it might be good to better safeguard against this.

[kcristiano]

@mlutfy I updated via the CiviCRM extension screen the first time, then I manually retrieved the 3.3 package from the releases page.

I will try this again on the staging site we have. I did this update live on production.

Hi Mlufty

like cristiano i updated via CiviCRM extension screen. And the error is the same.
I would appreciate if somebody could help me at least revert this.

I deleted the release node from civicrm.org. (although some may still have it in their cache)

[kcristiano]

I just tried a direct download and I don't see a vendor directory in the extension.

[mlutfy]

I just tried a direct download and I don't see a vendor directory in the extension.

Using: https://github.com/mlutfy/ca.bidon.reporterror/releases/download/3.1/reporterror-3.1.tar.gz ?

[kcristiano]

I should have included the link.

I used https://github.com/mlutfy/ca.bidon.reporterror/archive/3.1.zip

not https://github.com/mlutfy/ca.bidon.reporterror/releases/download/3.1/reporterror-3.1.tar.gz

Off to try again. Still unsure why the CiviCRM updater failed.

UPDATE: of course that worked. I did have to manually update the extension db and the cache, but as this is a manual update, that does make sense.

[partibrejker2]

so, what do i do to get my website back? :)

[mlutfy]

@partibrejker2 Update manually the extension using: https://github.com/mlutfy/ca.bidon.reporterror/releases/download/3.1/reporterror-3.1.tar.gz

[partibrejker2]

i have never done it before.
Do i just copy the files?
If so, do i just copy them to : media/civicrm/ext ?

Do i have to do anything in the database?

thank you for your help

[mlutfy]

yep, that should work.

Worst case, you can also try deleting the ca.bidon.reporterror directory, then go to Admin > System > Extension, click 'refresh', then re-install (I updated the link there).

[partibrejker2]

Thx,

i had to delete it.
Now:

[mlutfy]

Getting there .. ;)

Can you refresh your extension list and try again? I updated for a zip file.

[mattwire]

@mlutfy Running composer install works when doing a git clone as the vendor dir is not included in the github repository. This caught me out as it's a new dependency. Could you add something to the readme?

[mlutfy]

@mattwire good idea, added a2e4081 (although I suspect most people don't read that. It would be better to check before requiring the autoload, and if it's missing show a status message?)

[mattwire]

@mlutfy Yes, good idea. I think some other extensions have handled things in a similar way (eg. mosaico).
