Thread:Project:Support desk/upgrade from 1.16.1 to 1.21.1 failing/reply (4)

With great relief I am reporting that a complete new set of 1.21.1 files, and running update.php as a cron job (with "#!/usr/local/bin/php.cli" added as the first line) finally allowed me to arrive at a working 1.21.1. Why update.php would have failed when the host support personnel ran it from the command line I have no idea. I did disable DPL and re-enable it afterwards, but I'm skeptical that this had anything to do with it.
