Documentation on how to upgrade any version of eZ Publish can be found here: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading As with every older version in the 3.x branch of eZ Publish you first need to upgrade to 3.10 in order to upgrade to 4.0. Keep in mind that eZ Publish 4 requires php 5. In your case this means your custom code also needs to be php 5 ready (references!). Good luck!

> we have some custom coding in 3.3-2 .
What kind of custom code?
Hacks or extensions?
And do you have an overview?

Hi ADnan eZ Publish 3.3 requires PHP 4.3. It does not work properly on newer versions of PHP. As for the problem you have with installing eZ Publish 4, please carefully read the documentation and you will find the solution: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/installation/normal_installation/requirements_for_doing_a_normal_installation. Good luck!

Hi Norman, I think you can help me, In 3.6.1 version, I imported two classes from some other install but same version. So there were two classes, and another site style which I imported from my development pc, there were three packages... This week I tried upgrading 3.6.1 to 4.0.0 with the following steps:
3.6.1. -> 3.8.0
3.8.0 -> 3.9.0
3.9.0 -> 3.10.0 After the upgrading to 3.10.0, the whole public and adminstration sites are working. Two problems:
1. No packages in the Setup-> Packages....
2. In the Design -> Look and Feel section there is no sitestyle thumbnail.
Hope fully you can help me here..... What about upgrade from 3.10.0 to 4.0.0 go well??? Any thing specific to be taken care of? Do I need to run again updateniceurls.php and udatetipafriendpolicy.php while upgrading?? In the documentation it not recommended to upgrade from 3.10.0 -> 4.0.0, insisting to wait for 4.0.1. Cheers

1. Please use latest version of a branch when you update, minor versions are bug fix versions..
2. site style is a package as well, did you remember to copy over the packages in the var folder? (var/storage/packages)

Hi Andre, Thanks for your kind help. Few clarifications please.... <i>>> 1. Please use latest version of a branch when you update, minor versions are bug fix versions.</i> So do you mean the process should be:
3.6.1 to 3.8.10
3.8.10 to 3.9.5
3.9.5 to 3.10.1
3.10.1 to 4.0.0 (as 4.0.1 is not released yet). Actually I just followed the chart on the following url. http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading/releases <i>>> 2. site style is a package as well, did you remember to copy over the packages in the var folder? (var/storage/packages)</i> I checked the ez3.6.1 install, the packages are in var/news/storage/packages not in the var/storage/packages, but in the new installs 3.6.1 upwards the packages are in var/storage/packages. During upgrading I just copied the whole var folder. Do you want me to copy or move the packages into var/storage/packages? Please clarify this point. What about upgrading 3.10.0 to 4.0.0, is it safe to do as in the documentation it is not recommeded. Any approx date for releasing stable 4.0.1??? I can't wait as the servers are getting upgraded. Last in the documentation regarding upgrade from 3.10.0 to 4.0.0, there is again an addition of scripts like updateniceurls.php and updatetipafriendpolicy.php, do i need to run them again as the part of upgrade in 3.10.0 to 4.0.0. Cheers Smith

#1
If it worked for you, don't change anything, I just mentioned it because they are sometimes more stable.
#2
Do try that. (copy)
4.0.1:
No date, but if you read the article on 4.0.1rc, you'll see that the issue that holds back 4.0.1 and 3.10.1 from being called stable where issues updating from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 and 3.10.0 to 3.10.1.
So when you upgrade from 3.9 or earlier .1rc2 should be ok, and more stable then .0 in most cases.

<i>>> If it worked for you, don't change anything, I just mentioned it because they are sometimes more stable. </i> Ok Cheers, it worked upto 3.10.0, only with the problem regarding the packages and sitestyle thumbnails mentioned above. <i>>>>Do try that.</i> Move or copy? Sorry missed, you already written copy. cheers.

Hi Andre, Tried what you said and it worked, i think it should be documentated somewhere... Firstly I tried in /var/storage/packages but it did not work, then i tried, /var/storage/packages/ez-systems and it did the trick. Even the sitestyle thumbnail is coming. One more thing in the design -> look and feel When you go into the editing mode of the look and feel class from the adminstration site I dont know why two locations are coming. One is for "Design" which is fine and other one is for "Setup" which is not right. Do you know anything about it. I ran the 3.10.0 script by removing the "updateniceurls.php and updatetipafriendpolicy.php" from the script, but there are massive warning and errors in the debug saying run updateniceurls.php and all the urls converted to numbers. In the documentation you guys wrote to ignore and do it while upgrading from 3.10.0 to 4.0.0 I think it is best to run the script and then revert back while upgrading 3.10.0 to 4.0.0. Does not seem any point. Bit confused. What you think?

> In the documentation you guys wrote to ignore and do it while upgrading from 3.10.0 to 4.0.0 If you are upgrading to eZ Publish 4.0, then you should skip that step when you upgrade from 3.9 to 3.10. I do not know why your look and feel have two locations, couldn't you just remove the second one(in Setup)?

But selecting the location and pressing the Remove Selected is not doing anything.

Yes the 2 minutes you have 3.10 running and are about to upgrade to 4.0.
In your case (running 3.10 until you feel comfortable upgrading to 4.0 ), you should never have skipped that step.

Fair enough got the answer, i will run the nice url and tipafriendpolicy later in 3.10.0 to 4.0.0 Now the last thing, where definately need your advice. Upto now i am using the following settings:
<?php /* #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"?
[CharacterSettings]
Charset=iso-8859-1
*/ ?>
The character set in the database is English iso-8859-1. What is the best way to convert the database to utf-8. Is there any script which can do this? In the documentation you guys saying it will be the part of 4.0.1... Please help... Thanks very much for helping me upto now.

Hi, you can actually use script provided with 4.0.1rc2 which is stored in bin\php\ezconvertdbcharset.php which do conversion. Run it with --help param to get more info. Using that script should be easy to make conversion.

Running the script gives me the following errors: Fatal error: Call to undefined method eZContentClassAttributeNameList::cleanNameList() in /usr/local/home/httpd/vhtdocs/<dir name>/bin/php/ezconvertdbcharset.php on line 391
Fatal error: eZ Publish did not finish its request
The execution of eZ Publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below. Is there anything which i am missing??? The script I ran: <path to php5> bin/php/ezconvertdbcharset.php Please help.
