Hi John,

May I know what is your easyblog version before you are trying to update to easyblog 5? Can you provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on the issue directly?

Please advise.

Below is a screen data cope of what I am seeing.....

Installed version: 3.9.24862

Latest available version: 5.0.190000

I got past the initial invalid API key error.

It is now hung at:

If the issue still persists, can you provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on this?

See site details for credentials...

Hey John,

I have tried to access but hitting this :

Warning

Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.

please advise.

sorry, forgot to activate the userid.

New credentials are updated for the Joomla backend. The original still provide ftp access

Hi John,

I've tried to access your site with the provided credentials but it seems like it still not working for me .

Warning

Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.

Please advise.

Okay, time to regroup on this issue.

I will provide corrected credentials by Monday. To make a long story short, two separate actions were occurring which restored restored the site to a backup (that's a good thing) and the backup restore eliminated the new user account.

I did find that version of PHP might have been an issue. My ISP will upgrade the version from 5.3 5o 5.4 Saturday night.

I will post a response to this thread with details by Monday.

Hi John,

Thank you for the heads up on this issue and keep us updated once you have the access details ready. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Okay, back to install issues....

As noted in the above discussion, I tried to update my EasyBlog

After the site was knocked offline, I did get it restored.

However, I am now unable to add a new article.

So, the update doesn't complete. I can't add a new article. And, thinking that PHP may be an issue, the site has been upgraded to php 5.4.40

Credentials are under site details....

Hey john,

I am really sorry that delay of this reply,

I already help you upgraded to Easyblog 5. Please have a check.
