Hi,

Could you explain exactly how did you do the upgrade? Also from which 1.7.x version?

I followed the recipe in http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Upgrading_Elgg.

I have additionally deleted the \engines folder and replaced it with the 1.8 version (keeping settings.php from the old version)

it was on 1.7.9 version = 2011052801;

I am finding I am fixing most issues in the plugins themselves by changing the deprecated items, it must be something about version 2011110700 has made more changes to deprecated list as a lot of these plugins are supposed to be for 1.8 but they are throwing deprecated errors on my version of 1.8

Which plugins are you finding that you need to update?

I have additionally deleted the \engines folder and replaced it with the 1.8 version 

The guide doesn't say to delete that folder. 

Delete the following core directories (same level as _graphics and engine):

* _css
* account
* admin
* dashboard
* entities
* friends
* search (may interfere with the search plugin so definitely important to delete)
* settings
* simplecache

 It is probably due to an old plugin.

@evan - pretty much all of them as I add them in

@rjcalifornia - I know it didnt suggest overwriting \engine it but I tried it anyway as a fix thinking something in the legacy code was not overwritten properly. it didnt make a difference.

and for the records, as I update the code in the plugins it is resolving the problem 99% of the time, which suggests to me something in the new version of 1.8 - 2011110700 deprecation list is changed maybe

im having the same problems... BUT for me... 

after i dropped 1.8.1 on top of 1.7... and ran

upgrade.php ...

I'm getting my standard 404 file not found page:

see http://meechew.com/social-network/ 

Should I just Delete Everything Except ENGINE??? and RECOPY???

@evan i deleted my entire MOD folder and replaced it... NOW... none of the pages come up. I get my standard 404 error page and every page

@RJ @Evan 

OK... i deleted all the files

* _css

* account

* admin

* dashboard

* entities

* friends

* search (may interfere with the search plugin so definitely important to delete)

* settings

* simplecache

and reuploaded all the 1.8.1 files then did upgrade.php and the problem is still there. HELP! What can i do to fix the site?

I don't see views on that list, it's very important in the 1.7 => 1.8 upgrade to delete the views directory before uploading the 1.8 version.

If you didn't do that, then do it, upload the 1.8 version, and run upgrade.

If you still have trouble try putting an empty file named "disabled" in the /mod directory and running upgrade.php
