J. T.	Monday 22 March 2010 3:51:53 pm Hi experts. With an old version of ez-pulish I think I got a big problem. It’s version number 3.44 and software to the website www.chronik-reportage.de. Hostmaster is 1&1. As somebody told me, 1&1 only works with higher versions of ez-publish. So I tried to upgrade. No chance. After clicking the necessary button “check files” before upgrading, ez-publish tells me “Warning, it is not safe to upgrade without checking the modifications done to the following files : kernel/classes/datatypes/ezxmltext/handlers/output/ezxhtmlxmloutput.php” I do not know where and how to. Do you? As there would be lots of details to change after while upgrading: Is there maybe a different way to get texts online than to upgrade. Momentarily, every time I try to publish/put into frontend a text the message is “Fatal error: eZ publish did not finish its request. The execution of eZ publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.” Folders I can publish. Can you maybe help me? You can get every further information needed. The website is result to a project of young people in Poland, Auschwitz. We try to remind several yet unpublished destinies of people in that former concentration camp. A modern site up to date would be great though not necessary. Publishing the news would be fine. Thank you in advance, T.
Marco Zinn	Tuesday 23 March 2010 3:35:55 pm Hello J.T. is the site beeing hosted at 1&1 in Germany? You probably would need to upgrade to some ez 4.x version, so you can run it on PHP5 (which should be standard at all webhosters today) From my experiences with upgrading, an upgrade von ez 3.4 to ez4 will drive you completely crazy and take you several hours. You will probably end up doing the design all over. From some click through the current website, i can see, that ez crashes in some places when trying to display content... Thats really not the best place to start such a huge migration way. Buttom line: Depening on the amount of content, you should think about doing the site completly new. Doing a setup of eZ 4.x is something, where we (Hyperroad Design) could help you with. But you would end up with a lot of copy&paste work. From what i saw, most of your content is text, so this should be some manageble task. Don't hesitate to contact us or reply here. Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com

Hello J.T.

From my experiences with upgrading, an upgrade von ez 3.4 to ez4 will drive you completely crazy and take you several hours. You will probably end up doing the design all over.

From some click through the current website, i can see, that ez crashes in some places when trying to display content... Thats really not the best place to start such a huge migration way.
