Install using LiveUpdate

[thyon]

I have upgraded my server using the LiveUpdate feature, but half-way through it generated a stack overflow error 0 and some database commands didn't finish, etc. Now even though it says its upgraded, I'm not so sure. Isn't there a LiveUpdate feature where we can force a repair... like in the Extension repository. Because after LiveUpdate (even on a failure at PHP / MySQL level), it still thinks everything is ok and you can't live update again...? Maybe I can just change some setting in localconfig.php to make it think its still on a previous version to force the upgrade again?

Just decrease the build number in your system/constants.php, then you can run the Live Update again.

That works, but my system still throws a stack error and a mysql error. What settings can I adjust so that it doens't do that anymore... I think its taking too long to download the files and process them, so the PHP-MySQL link is lost...

# Updated system/constants.php

"MySQL server has gone away" is typically a server configuration issue. I never stumbled upon it using TYPOlight though. Is this a shared hosting server with a lot of clients? Did you contact the support?

[thyon]

Its obviously a shared hosting solution -- I don't think we have any other type here in South Africa... its just too expensive.

I haven't contacted them, as I'm still not sure it was their error? I have updated TL on another website, which is also on their hosting but just on another shared server and that one worked fine...

[leo]

The error is typically thrown if there are too many MySQL requests. It does not mean that those are your requests though! If one of the other 500 users causes a lot of traffic or misconfigures his account, it does affect yours, too. That is why the international TYPOlight forum is not available every now and then
