You are reading the Drake CMS Official Forums archive, available for historical purposes only.
Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
I thought I'd posted this before but I don't see it. I'm running
Drake V4.0.6 r 4755 and the red box says to update to v 0.4.11 r
5575 but when I click on the red box, it tells me "You are
not authorized to access to this resource." even though I'm
an administrator.
Also when I attempt to administer
users I get the same message.
I can upload images, add
components, edit articles, etc.
All the permissions
appear to be 777 at least at the top level.
Any
suggestions?
Thanks, Jim.

Hi
There was no 0.4.6 v4755 release there was a
0.4.8_RC4_r4755
Regardless I think you will find you
will have to go through the interim updates before applying the
latest patch..as long as your install is not a SVN version, SVN
cannot be updated using the inbuilt process.
You
should read the relevant release news about the process of
applying these interim patches...some updates required manual
edits to be preformed as part of the process..
OR,
backup, do a new install of the latest release and then
restore...taking into account any bugs that are evident in this
release..
Good Luck

Take pity on us old folks that have a lot of trouble seeing black
print on a red background with fine print. It was an 8. That's
almost as hard to read as the idiots that have the dark blue
print on a black background I see on the web every so often.
OK so how many of these releases am I behind?
Thanks, Jim.

Also I can't backup my database. I get the same "You are
not authorized to ..." message.

Hi
Did you resolve the issue with 4755 Discussed Here this may
relate to your current issues with backups etc
There is
NO patch to update from 0.4.8 to 0.4.9, so I think the best way
is to get the backup working and do a backup of the current site
and then install the latest release and restore the backup into
that...OR...wait until the first LaniusCMS release happens, over
next few days/weeks and use that instead..
You will
then be up with the current branch and release..
Good
Luck

I can't understand if you're using an SVN revision, a
customized/mixed version or an officially released version.
What's your exact Drake CMS version?

You may have better eyes than I. I can't read black on bright
red anymore.

Note, for some reason I didn't see any of the responses come
across my email until today. I have no idea where they were
stuck.
This site is hosted at a web hosting service.
For that reason files created by the php code do not belong to me
and I can't remove/change them.
I may have mentioned
before I can't backup with the cms backup utility. I have
however downloaded the site via ftp to a local disk. Will there
be any difficulties if I install a later version over top of the
local disk? Identifying the core cms files and differentiating
them from my files may be problematic if that's required.
Thanks, Jim.

Hi
Re issues, I think you will run into probs as there
may have been changes to tables etc during the evolution of the
beta versions.
Have you tried using the utility
webadmin.php to remove/change files on the site..
It
is very useful and may help.
This may have been
covered previousely but what are your permissions set at for the
/private and private sub folders?
Are you using a
Gladius or other db?
I can see how you could do all
the work locally using say xampp and then upload all the files,
would take a bit of work though.
Good Luck

Email notifications no more work here on
SF.net because SF.net has discontinued the cron jobs shell
service. this is an issue that we will fix with the new Lanius
CMS official website, which is not based here at SF.net

My suggestion is
to run the old version locally, make a tarball backup (locally)
and then extract it on the most recent Drake CMS.

As Terry said you CANNOT overwrite the old
version with the new version, that's not how it works.
Since you have a relatively old version you should first make
the downloaded version work locally (changing some bits in
private/config.php should suffice) and then make a backup. Read
the release news for the full explanation
