5.5.2 update issues

Permalink
I am not panicing just yet. However, I was trying to update my church website from 5.5.1 to 5.5.2 and now nothing pulls up. i tried to update through the dashboard and when I clicked update local version of C5 then my site went blank.I can see all of the files sitting on my server(why I'm not panicing just yet) but what is going on? I have almost never had a smooth update and wish that the C5 crew had a more intuitive way to handle it. For now I would greatly appreciate anyone that can get me out of this mess. The site ishttp://www.messiahlutheran.ws.

Thanks
Paul

Go to root/config/site.php
if you have code like this
define('DIRNAME_APP_UPDATED', 'concrete5.5.2');

change it to this
define('DIRNAME_APP_UPDATED', 'concrete5.5.1');

Ah, Well your installation of C5 is now looking for the concrete5.5.2 folder since you ran an update, Best put it back for now...
Did you find the site.php file?

Go tohttps://github.com/concrete5/concrete5... and download the zip file,
Extract the file and open up the "web" folder,
You will find a sub folder called "concrete", copy it.
go to your root/updates/concrete5.5.2/ and delete the "concrete" folder from inside the concrete5.5.2 folder,
When you have deleted it put your new copy of the "concrete" folder (from the downloaded "web" folder into the concrete5.5.2 folder,

Essentially you are replacing the concrete folder which has several "buggy" files with in it for a debugged one.

When you have completed that change your site.php back as it was and try again....

I have to leave you now but good luck,
It is worth noting that the latest 5.5.2.1 will be released soon so you could just wait a while for that..
