404 error on upgrading from 1.7.8 to 1.8.8

By adoi 4295 days ago

I tried upgrading my site to latest Elgg version but 404 error

in place of indx page, A activity page is called. and results in 404 error.

I tried it many times with fresh installation also. but same error,

tried over writing .htaccess didn't worked.

On searching, i got this

http://trac.elgg.org/ticket/3900

when i place pg in url

domain.com/activity gives 404 error

but if i add domain.com/pg/activity non-formatted, but works

same with admin link, it works on adding pg in link

It seems like issue with Elgg instllations in subdirectory.

Please tell, any solution to problem.

@Adoi
Did you removed these folders before upgrading?
* _css
* account
* admin
* dashboard
* entities
* friends
* search (may interfere with the search plugin so definitely important to delete)
* settings
* simplecache
And did you also remove the views folder before upgrading, as specified in the elgg wiki?

Amazingly, after renaming htaccess_dist
Everything working fine now.
My first sucessful upgrade.
I am still searching for the reason, which caused this. As it was only a test installation. and error occured 2 more times in earlier attempts.
Thanks a lot Iionly, you made my day.
@ Rjcalifornia, Yes i deleted all folders mentioned.
Problem seems to be solved.
