Upgrade Explosion

Post by superscotty19 » 31 Jul 2019, 18:10

Hi,

I got an email that there's a new version of Aimeos (yay!), so I went to upgrade. That is, I:

1. deactivate aimeos_dist then aimeos
2. upload/install new version of aimeos (ex. aimeos 19.7) and re-activate aimeos
3. Run the index rebuild script (aka the recycle icon)
4. re-activate aimeos_dist

... but what I didn't know was that 19.7 doesn't jive with aimeos_dist on T3 8.7. The result is that when you try to upgrade aimeos_dist you get an incompatibility error (aimeos_dist 19 won't run on t3 8.7, while aimeos_dist 18 is looking for aimeos 18), followed by some SQL conflicts and long story short I now have a corrupted installation.

I tried to back everything up to 18, but that failed. So I tried to forge on in the hopes that my piles of data hasn't been destroyed: I removed aimeos_dist and upgraded aimeos to 19.7. That worked! But now I'm stuck because I can't do anything with aimeos_dist and I need it in order to actually *show* the web site (i.e. it contains the necessary T3 templates/includes to display the shop). Without aimeos_dist, my site shows:

Code: Select all

#1294587217: The page is not configured! [type=0][]. This means that there is no TypoScript object of type PAGE with typeNum=0 configured. (More information)
Please help!!!
-Scott.

UPDATE:

Don't tell the TYPO3 purists, but I went ahead and forcefully upgrade aimeos_dist to 19.4. Specifically:

1.) Upgrade aimeos to 19.7
2.) Install bootstrap_package 10
3.) Install aimeos_dist 19.4

... and the site is back up now BUT my images aren't displaying. Now, I had modified aimeos/Resources/Private/Config/resource.php to a new location and I see that the new version of resource.php has a new variable, "baseurl', but even after changing it my product images aren't showing - code as follows:

Code: Select all

        'fs' => array(
                'adapter' => 'Standard',
                'baseurl' => 'fileadmin/user/storage/products',
                'basedir' => PATH_site . 'fileadmin/user/storage/products',
                'tempdir' => PATH_site . 'typo3temp',
        ),
        'fs-admin' => array(
                'adapter' => 'Standard',
                'basedir' => PATH_site . 'typo3temp',
                'tempdir' => PATH_site . 'typo3temp',
        ),
        'fs-import' => array(
                'adapter' => 'Standard',
                'basedir' => PATH_site . 'fileadmin/user/storage/products/.secure/import',
                'tempdir' => PATH_site . 'typo3temp',
        ),
        'fs-secure' => array(
                'adapter' => 'Standard',
                'basedir' => PATH_site . 'fileadmin/user/storage/products/.secure',
                'tempdir' => PATH_site . 'typo3temp',
        ),
I also have the following constants in the T3 template:

Code: Select all

plugin.tx_aimeos.common.content.baseurl = https://www.domain.ca/fileadmin/user/storage/products
module.tx_aimeos.common.content.baseurl = https://www.domain.ca/fileadmin/user/storage/products
This was all I needed to change for 18.x. Is there another setting I need to change for 19?

UPDATE 2

While the FE catalogue lists all products, there are not thumbs. Also, when I click on a product I get "Unable to find product"

When I go to the BE shop, I can see the product in the Aimeos > Products, but when I click on the product, there's a bunch of missing info (ex categories are blank, characteristics>properties are there but the name is missing so I need to select it from the dropdown.

I think at this point I have to revert back to 18.x ... but it looks like the DB has been changed by 19. What can I do? Any help is invaluable.

-S.

Upgrading between major versions (18.x -> 19.x) doesn't work flawlessly as you've seen.

You need to do at least two more things in the scheduler:
- Run the index rebuild job
- Run the media scale job

UPDATE 3

I rolled back aimeos_dist and aimeos to 18.x and now the FE is littered with:

Code: Select all

A non-recoverable error occured
Meanwhile, in the BE > Aimeos I get:

Code: Select all

Error SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'mordba.status' in 'field list', /home/dutchcycle/public_html/typo/typo3conf/ext/aimeos/Resources/Libraries/aimeos/aimeos-core/lib/mwlib/src/MW/DB/Statement/DBAL/Simple.php:91
and BE > Aimeos > Products is now empty. That is, all my products are gone.

I think I have to restore from backup ....

Thanks for the fast reply! Good thing too because the live web site has now been totally down all day. Latest update I have is that I went into phpmyadmin and it looks like the data is still in tact, but I can't get the connection to be made.

Trying to follow your points, I re-upgraded aimeos and aimeos_dist to 19.x. I then clicked the "run update script" button and everything is OK. Also, when I go to BE > Aimeos > Products, I can once again see all the products, so clearly the DB has been converted to v19 format.

... but I'm a little shaky on what/where the index rebuild job OR media scale job is. I tried googling so as not to bother you and I found a link to a page that discusses per-product rebuilds, and then another with the scheduler. Now, my scheduler has never worked ever (since T3 3.8, no matter what we do it just won't run) but I did have an entry for index rebuild. I manually ran it. Then I created a single-use job of type "rescale product images" (I assume that's what you meant?). Both ran successfully AFAIK.

I went to the FE web site and the template appears. As well the ,"non-recoverable error" is gone and BE > Aimeos does work. However, the site contents are empty. That is, I can click on the catalogue but there's no aimeos content - just an empty template. Also, when I view a product via BE > Aimeos > Product > I see the product but many fields are blank (ex custom attributes, long description).

At this point, I just need the catalogue back. Then we can figure out why some fields are missing.

Thanks again so much!!!

The index rebuild is necessary to find the product according to their names while the media rescale job creates the new responsive images needed.

If you have a "non-recoverable error", please have a look into the Log panel of the admin interface to see the problem and the stack trace.

Update:
The system was so broken and the urgency growing by the hour that I had to restore from backup. However, I would love to have steps/process for doing an upgrade to 19.x in 8.7 (if that's even possible)

Thanks,
-Scott.

Upgrade is possible and the Aimeos dist package should be compatible with TYPO3 8.7 even if stated 9.5 only.

You should try again in a staging environment:
- Update aimeos_dist with aimeos and bootstrap_package
- Run update script (check if it succeeds or if there's an error)
- Run index rebuild and media rescale job
- Clear caches

If something is still broken then, we can investigate.
