Since 1.5.3, there have been some major code changes to the Oxwall software. This includes the entirely new Oxwall Mobile site you were adding with the update, and the real-time and completely re-designed Photos and Messages plugin. If you're on a small VPS or shared hosting, it's easy to assume it was an error of server overload or too many requests.

It might be best to update slowly, version to version. Just ask someone of Oxwall for the 1.6 update pack, upload it, and then give your server a bit of time and then download the "update package" for 1.7. Using the update .zip files seem to work with less errors more than using services like softaculous or installatron.

Amber I don't understand which software version you have now? Because this error should belong to 1.5.3 or 1.6 versions only as we do not use wurfl library in 1.7 anymore. 


You need to do the backup then edit the file, as in the post I sent you, then try again.
