Error! Sorry! A problem was encountered while loading items

That's the message - upgraded .750 to .760 went about activating the modules, however now they are all activated, I click on "Administration" and all I get is a "blank" page with that error message and the usual:-

Current poll: What do you think of PostNuke?

at the bottom.

Any clues?

Have you got any categories configured for the admin module?

No - I haven't - the installation documentation is a bit vaugue in this area - I take it this is a required step?

Initialisation of the categories module should create the categories for you. Try accessing the modules module directly (index.php?module=Modules&type=admin), deactivate, remove, regenerate, initialise and activate the admin module.

Do you have the NS-Admin directory still in your modules directory? You'll need to remove it if so.

No go in that direction - I can't inialize the admin module now, so I am getting "Module Admin not available".

I can see why it isn't recommended to use RC's on production sites.

Just as well this is a new site, which we were setting up as a "family" site and we thought it would make a good test bed for our other sites to see any problems we are likely to have with .76, I will suggest that someone look seriously at the documentation that comes with .76, as it's very vague when it comes to upgrading from .75.

I will hang off and see if there are any other suggestions otherwise I'll toss a coin and either roll back to .750 or delete the database and try a fresh install of .76

Are you sure the module is activated? Did you remove the NS- prefixed modules?

The modules/Modules is active still can't intilize the Admin module, and i have removed all NS-prefixed modules.

Seems a shame to give up on it but a fresh install is looking better all the time.

Just makes one wonder what I missed in the original upgrade from .750?

Is there a dummies guide version of upgrade from .750 to .760?

Would you recommend moving the .750 directory or overwriting - I renamed the .750 directory and then ran install.php however i did notice it didn't give an upgrade from .750 option - is this where i made my error?

Quick Update

Deleted the Database and did a fresh install - no issues this time.

Still be interested to know what went wrong for future reference, as I have 5 other sites that will need upgrading once .760 becomes official.

Now to find out which modules don't work....

Did you read the upgrade instructions in the manual.txt that comes with the RC4?

Yes I did - but they aren't exactly the most detailed instructions I have read as you can see:-



A little line saying something about upgrading .726 and above would be quite handy - as far as I can see this doucument has hardly changed since .075........

Just for information sake the following is the exact steps I followed:-



Which are exactly the same steps that I used to upgrade 5 sites to .750

I really was looking for more helpful comments than "did you read the instructions"

Maybe if the instructions were rewritten we wouldn't have nitwits like myself coming to this forum asking why our installations didn't work.

As it stands I have now found that it was easier in this case to do a fresh install as the module compatability so far leaves a lot to be desired.

Which was the point of the exercise - as until the modules catch up there is no way my other sites can be upgraded to .760
