Updating problems…

    Hi,

    Haven’t updated my site’s wordpress since late 2011 (3.2, I think it was) and today tried to update it automatically to the latest (4.1.1).
    Installed plugins:
    – Akismet
    – Google Analitycator
    – Google Calendar Events
    – RSS Poster
    – SI Captcha For WordPress
    – Sociable
    – W3 Total Cache
    – WP DB Backup
    – WP FB Fanbox
    – WP Spamfree
    – WP Touch

    Update failed. Symptoms: accessing the site would bring out the message “site undergoing update, please come by in a few minutes” (or similar).

    Removed .maintenance file and tried updating manually following WordPress instructions and the result is blank screens all around (sample: http://www.connexionbizarre.net/wp-admin/).

    Tried deactivating the plugins folder but nothing. I get:
    “W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home/cenobytes/connexion/HTML/wp-content/advanced-cache.php.”

    “Removed” all the W3 Total Cache files from wp-content. And we’re back to blank screen.

    Any sugestions?

    Hi,

    What if you simply download the latest version of WordPress and just use the database from your old website? It might solve your problem, because I don’t think there are so significant changes in database architecture between the versions.

    That’s what I will try doing tomorrow but doing the whole thing from scratch, purging the database and replacing it with the latest backup I have. Just in case.
