Failure during one-click update

[ellenvandrunen]

Hi guys,

Today I tried to update my old prestashop website. First I created a clone, downloaded the latest 1-click-update addon and started the update.

I noticed php gave an error (I was still running an obsolete version).

So, first I tried upgrading this to 7.1 but then the clone didn't work at all.

So, I went back to 7.0 and the clone worked again. I ignored the PHP warnings and started the update. Well,  I got a lot further than the previous time I tried to run the update, but unfortunately I ended up with an error:

"All files upgraded. Now upgrading database...[Ajax / Server Error for action upgradeDb] textStatus: "error " errorThrown:"Internal Server Error " jqXHR: "

500 Server Error

Oops, something went wrong.

Try to refresh this page or feel free to contact us if the problem persists."

 

I now have the option to refresh the page or to go back to a backup (there are apparently 3 backups in the dropdown, but I never created these... as far as I can recall)

So, what should I do now? I haven't refreshed yet (the last time nothing worked anymore after the refresh and I had to start all over with a new clone).

I am not a webmaster by the way, we try to maintain our shop ourselves.

It was an old presta intallation: 1.6.1.5

Hopefully someone can help me.

Best regards, Ellen

Hi, anyone? I have now created a very new environment to test the upgrade. Would love for the update to work or maybe get an amazing tip to fix this...

Hi guys, a short update, I decided to update to 1.6.1.24 and that worked like a charm!

Now I am wondering if we even should update to 1.7? Or is 1.6 going to be obsolete any time soon?

Looking forward to hear your thoughts, Ellen
