Hi Sven

I have just updated from 3.4.2 to 3.5.4 in the upgrade a msg regarding tags appeared 3.4.1_2015-08-11

Ideas ?.

You should actually not see this message during an update since the component is doing the update, not the package. How did you perform the update?

Do you've got any error message during the update?
Can you create tags for an article for example?
What happens if you can the tag migration manually with this url? http://xxx.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_eventgallery&task=migration.migrateTags

Evening

on the upgrade this was done via the manager and loaded the zip file. No errors were reported. The update page stopped with the display ( see attached pdf) which is the same result using the link you supplied above. Some events have Tags but dont work. I have added tags but again do not work / display on the front end.

Ps if i use a passkey to access a event via the password redirect app you have. I can view the event with images. If you want access I will need your IP number to give you access. I use IP lockout on my development sites via the vhosts file.

The pdf you send sees to be incomplete. Please increase the error reporting using the Joomla global options and rerun this migration link. Please send me the output you see.

Re ran the link with error reporting set to development.

This is not what I expected. Can you provide an Akeeba Backup file of your site? You can skip the /images folder. I need to reproduce this issue locally. The PDF does not contain any useful hint but it also does not contain some additional migration steps.

By the way... your mail server blocks the notifications send by the ticket system.

Hi Sven

Ive been wondering on the emails. Can you send me header info. I need to know at which point / service is blocking the mail.

Re EG. the site iam using is not going to be my production site, this is my old site. I want to export the EG database and import to the new site which will be on 3.5.4. Will a import of a data from a older EG 3.4 update to the new EG 3.5.x on the new site ?

The import will not work since it does not create Joomla Tags or Categories. You can't import an old import into a new version as well. In the best case it works any you need to assign those tags again.

But I'm still interested in this backup file to find the reason for the failed migration.

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain andrewvincentphotography.com by mx0.123-reg.co.uk. [94.136.40.151].

Hi

Making a akeeba backup without the images. The site is about 5GB with them. Can you give me a private email
address so I can give you download info and passwords. Or do you have a FTP connection I can upload to.

Andy

Re: email onto the problem now.

just send the download data to svenbluege@gmail.com

seems to work. Maybe it's a memory issue. How much memory is your server allowed to use? Maybe you just need to increase the amount for this migration step.

Hi Sven

Looks like its done it. The problem was in the php.in see below

; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
; http://php.net/max-execution-time
; Note: This directive is hardcoded to 0 for the CLI SAPI
max_execution_time=360

time was set to 60 increased to 360. now no time out.

now I can continue to build the new site.

What's in 3.6

Thanks Andy

Good idea!

3.6 will contain an improvement of the content plugin and Amazon S3 support as main features.

Hi Sven

As a follow on.
On the new site installed 3.5.4 and did the import of the export of the old 3.5.4 upgraded from 3.4 from 3.31
the database was installed but minus the TAG information.
Ran, http://xxx.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_eventgallery&task=migration.migrateTags

This restored the TAG information. Not yet tried to see if it works on the front end only shows on the admin panel.
Will keep you informed shortly

Now this is only on 3.5.4 and with Firefox URL format errors. this error does not display any ware else on the Jooma
admin area only on EG backend.

Iam resorting to Chrome just for EG any work round on this.
