Problems after upgrade from 3.8.8 to 4.0.6

Hi All -

Just upgraded from 3.8.8 to 4.0.6 this morning. Was kind of a tough
upgrade so I ended up doing a lot of different things during the upgrade
and I confused myself. The problem I have now is that I’m not entirely
sure where RT is getting it’s config settings from. Somethings seem to
come from /opt/rt4/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm others don’t. I have some custom
things in /opt/rt4/local/html/Elements/ and those don’t seem to be working.

When I go out to *Tools → Configuration → Tools → System Configuration

  • I am receiving the following error:

An internal RT error has occurred. Your administrator can find more details
in RT’s log files.

/opt/rt4/var/log doesn’t have anything in it – and neither does
/opt/rt3_bak/var/log (this is where 3.8.8 resided). As I said, I did many
things and directories may not be properly in place…

Any advice??

Read your webserver’s error logs. RT may also be logging to syslog if
you’ve configured it.

Ensure you turned on logging in your siteconfig:
Set($LogToFile, ‘debug’); # debug is very noisy

You can try critical, warning, or error if you don’t want to be overloaded with noise

Make sure your apache user can write to the log directory

After many hours I finally got it working on my previously dev RT box. Took multiple runs of make database-upgrade, but did a swing migration of the db and all is well.

Thanks for the hint on the logs – using debug now and it seems to have
pointed me in some kind of direction.

And yes…going from 3.8.8 to 4.0.6 took me and a co-worker 3 hours.
