I'm upgrading from v2.4.5 to the current 3.1.6. I am not the original installer. Steps I have taken:

1. backup both db and webroot
2. placed download of 3.1.6 files in the webroot directory
3. deleted the cms, sapphire, and googlesitemaps from the webroot
4. placed cms and framework folders from the 3.1.6 files into the webroot
5. navigated to https://mysite/dev/build

I receive a 500 error. I could use some help, our site is down due to DreamHost dropping support for an older php version.

thanks,
JP

Hi there,

You need to modify mysite file too, like public static $db to 'private static $db'. we had the same issue with DreamHost, luckly me managed to upgrade them.

That doesn't seem to work. Interestingly, if I change my errorpage.php and make my static calls all public static $ calls, and launch my site as my domain/isdev/debug, I get a really stripped down page. I don't fully understand these calls.

Using my web inspector on my browser, I'm seeing an interesting error keep popping up. I get a "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Behaviour". When I look at the source it's calling on, I can see some js that's still referencing the sapphire directory. But I can't for the life of me find the directory where that code is. It looks like it's the main page.

Any help from this community would be really helpful.

If I change the calls in errorpage.php to private, I receive this error when navigating to my domain/isdev/debug:

Access level to ErrorPage::canAddChildren() must be public
