    You should only update to either version 4.4 or 4.8. Other versions (4.1, 4.2 etc.) are no longer supported.

    and if using this url (https://download.contao.org/4.8) : So getting "Invalid Parameter" Error.

    Yeah. Contao is no longer available as a ZIP archive. So this is what you should do:

    Which Contao version is the website currently running with? To upgrade to Contao 4, you must first update the installation to Contao 3.5.40. As soon as you are on Contao 3.5, you can update the installation by following e.g. this tutorial: https://www.gruenfisch-webdesign.de/...f-4-4-lts.html

    Comment : As I have uploaded a file for "Check" and getting the message this "You can install Contao 4.x on this server." but when I click on Install Contao button then display "Target version is showing only 3.4.50 (LTS)". There is no option to install 4.x version.

    Check screenshots:

    1.) https://nimb.ws/eUbgNd
    2.) https://nimb.ws/LnkIRN

    Please help me to fix this problem asap.

    You cannot install Contao 4 with the Contao Check (as you've already noticed, this only works for Contao 3).

    Use the Contao Manager to install Contao 4.4 (LTS) or Contao 4.8.

    Again: What is the URL where you want to install Contao? Is it http://yakee1.de ? If yes you should remove the Sedo Domain Parking thing.

    I also cannot access the Contao Manager via http://yakee1.de/contao-manager.phar.php


    It's wrong if you have to open the Contao Manager via http://yakee1.de/web/contao-manager.phar.php. As I already said above you would have to set the DocumentRoot of http://yakee1.de/ to the web/ subfolder, so that you can open the Contao Manager via http://yakee1.de/contao-manager.phar.php

    It seems that it now works after you have set DocumentRoot correctly.

    Edit your page layout(s) and select the js_slider template (the j_slider template does not exist anymore as of Contao 4.4). Then save your page layout(s) and try again.

    In German:

    Layout > Themes > Seitenlayouts des Theme ID x bearbeiten > Seitenlayouts über das Bleistifticon bearbeiten > Abschnitt "JavaScript"

    In English:

    Layout > Themes > Edit the page layouts of theme ID x > Edit the page layouts with the pencil icon > Section "JavaScript"

    Since from Contao 4 on all resources are protected by default, you have to publish all folders in the file manager which should be publicly accessible first:

    German back end:

    System > Dateiverwaltung > Öffne die Ordnereinstellungen über das Bleistifticon > Aktiviere die Checkbox "Öffentlich"

    English back end:

    System > File manager > Edit the folder settings with the pencil icon > Set the "Public" checkbox


    Do this for all folders that should publicly accessible (e.g. your folder cto_layout/ etc.).

    No, sorry, I cannot, I currently only see the maintenance page.

    Check the changes between version 3.5 and 4.8 and if they might affect you: https://github.com/contao/contao/blob/master/UPGRADE.md

    Which version of Contao are you currently using? If it is still version 4.8.0, you should update to Contao 4.8.1 using the Contao Manager.

    Which (commercial) theme is the website based on? It may well be that you need changes to the theme for Contao 4.8 or a current version of the theme.

    Probably in the theme settings: Layout > Themes

    You could also ask the person who bought and installed the theme.

    Why are the folders in the file manager unpublished again?

    It is the Quantum theme from Premium Contao Themes (PCT): http://preview.premium-contao-themes.com/quantum2/demo/

    They have their own support forum where you can get help regarding the theme update: https://forum.premium-contao-themes.com/

    You may want to switch over there.

    I suppose that Yakee is already the currently active theme (and this is based on Quantum from PCT).

    No, now I get the Contao error page. This page also tells you what to do in such a case:
    Wie kann ich das Problem lösen?

    Öffnen Sie die aktuelle Log-Datei im Ordner var/logs und suchen Sie die zugehörige Fehlermeldung (normalerweise die letzte).

    You could ask on the PCT forum if they plan to provide a compatible version of the Revolution slider.
