Upgrading from 5.3.3.1
Permalink
Did not work. Did exactly what your directions say. Un-zip file and only copy contents of /concrete directory over the existing one in my webroot. Blew up my site. This is because in the tools directory under /concrete there is no /required directory as the instructions indicate. There is however a upgrade.php file but trying that doesn't work either. What should be a very easy streamlined upgrade turns out to be a complete disaster. Now I have to totally re-create my site! Not happy with your upgrade instructions.

Could someone please respond at least with some thoughts what could have gone bad?
What error messages are you getting? What does 'blew up' mean? White screen?
Did you take a backup of your site before upgrading?

From the sounds of it a lot could have gone wrong with this. I don't suppose you made a backup before you tried this ?
Where are the original instructions that were given to copy over the existing ?
Wait this is from 2 years ago ? I would probably consider this answered,,,,,,,
