Fail to manual Update from 1.4.1 to 1.5.3 | Forum

Topic location: Forum home » Support » Installation Troubleshooter and Server setup

Hi all,
Please help me how to update Oxwall 1.4.1 to 1.5.3 manually.
I have followed this link http://docs.oxwall.org/install:update#manual-update .
But when I open my mysite.com/ow_updates it's showing like this :

OW Debug - Notice Message: Use of undefined constant OW_DB_HOST - assumed 'OW_DB_HOST' File: /home3/tarihora/public_html/TarihoranFace/ow_core/ow.php Line: 100

Hello I have no idea if I'm posting in correct place but I wonder if anyone would be able to

do an upgrade from 1.4.0 to the lastest version for me. I have tried several times and keep

getting errors . I have a back up of my website and would be happy to send over my ftp

details if someone can help me out?

What kind of errors do you get?

On the first attempt, all our members data was lost and certain

things did not work upon clearing cache such as being unable

to post / delete a comment and use admin ..

I have reverted back to 1.4.0 so it's all back to normal . I am not an

expert so maybe I did something wrong. But if someone can point

me in the right direction or do it for me that would be great.

Forgot to say I am wanting to upgrade to 1.5.3 !!!

Thought I'd update , unsure if I am doing anything wrong here

but at the moment I am using a trial website so no problem with

losing members data. When using ftp to transfer photo's for example.

They transfer but do not show on website. Any idea why?
