You need to upload Joomla 3.6.0 version of the zip file (or any other format you download) to the root of your website, unzip and override all core files, then fix the database, discover/update and install the extensions. Since automatic update will not give you any specific version option to choose from, you need to all do it manually. Following is the method I applied to solve the issue.įirst you need to update the site with Joomla 3.6 version. Finally, found out the way by reading some of the articles, documentation and github issue comments. I tried and restored the site couple of times, few attempt to update and to be precise I failed 3 times with silly mistakes or trying out with various methods. I took a backup finally and tried to play with the site. Good for developers who need to keep reloading site back and forth or before updating something important. I took advantage of backup system on the control panel that we have build while I was working with, where I can take backup of whole site by single click and reload if site gets messedup. Now I got little worried that I did not take any backup which I normally do even to update to next version or a security update.īut thanks to support engineer of my awesome hosting provider at (or my previous company that I worked with) who restored the backup which was taken by auto backup on the servers which saved me today. But one by one it keep on coming and that didn't work.
Luckily site was not a client site but rather a family member site so little relief! :-) Since site was broken I thought why not to play with it and see what happen and may be I can fix it with all erros I am having. Yes! I made a mistake by not even thinking a second and not taking a backup.
So in eargerness to update a site, I just hit the update button in the backend, there you go with WSOD (White Screen of Death) or a Blank page.
I had nothing to think about or worry since one click update feature was introduced into Joomla. At the same time I have got client site to update as well coninsidentally was on Joomla 3.4 as well. I saw that few of them are running with old version on Joomla 3.4.8. Finally I realized that apart from my day to day work and updating client sites, I needed to update websites for my friends and family members too.
