what is the best way to upload a new CVS over the old one

[Guest]

I uploaded a new Cvs over the old one, but now on the login.php file I'm getting this error message

 

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/poster/public_html/catalog/login.php on line 65

 

 

what are the procedures to follow when you upload a new CVS version over an old one?

 

 

 

your help will be really appreciated.

Have you made any changes to any of the files?

 

If so learn CVS (www.cvshome.org) and get yourself a copy of beyond compare (www.scootersoftware.com). Both will prove thier weight in gold :)

 

In relation to the database there is a script called mysql_diff in the extras folder which will tell you if there have been any database changes.

thanks for your answer.

 

 

The problem when you get this error message is that you don't know what to do. Specially if all the files are from the last cvs .

Line 65 is

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));

 

So the problem lies with the breadcrumb class.

 

1. Make sure this exists (catalog/includes/classes/breadcrumb.php)

2. Make sure the following exists near the bottom of application_top.php

 

require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'breadcrumb.php');

$breadcrumb = new breadcrumb;

 

That should get you started :)

Thanks for your invaluable support.

 

The problem was indeed inside application_top.php (I forgot I had uploaded the old file instead of the new one to keep the information box links).

 

thanks again

THANK YOU SO MUCH SPARKY.

 

I've been grappling with how to encorporate contributions like Ian's fine work, but couldn't figure out how to avoid looking at many files one at a time. This is great advice to us new to open source programming.
