I've upgraded v 3.8.1 to 4.1.5 on localhost (the numbers "4.1.8" appear when I login to the Back End). It seems to work ok but _most_ of the Back End still looks like 3.8.. it has the new logo and the red kayaker photo, but old horizontal login page design, 3.8.1 icons, tan menus etc.
I deliberately installed v 3.8.1 because it's the only way I could discover to get the Quickstart site content in place to learn from (there is no longer a Quickstart for 4.1.5). To start the upgrade, I recreated the symlink to point to the 4.1.5 source code: $ sudo ln -s ../typo3_src-4.1.5 cms. Then I followed the upgrade directions at typo3.org: In Install Tool--Database Analyzer--COMPARE 1. I clicked the checkboxes for "Add fields", "Changing fields", "Add tables" and "Remove unused fields" and clicked the "Write to database" button. **There was still a heading "Remove unused fields" with a few fields still listed, so I did have to "Write to database" a second time. 2. Then next to "Dump static data" I clicked "IMPORT" 3. I clicked the checkbox "Import the whole file 'static+adt.sql' directly" and the clicked the "Write to database" button 4. Then I clicked the checkbox "Clear be_users preferences" and clicked "Write to database" again. 5. Finally, after logging into the Back End, under Admin functions I selected "Clear cache files in typo3conf/" And I cleared my web browser cache too. **When I went to view the Front End, it turned out /cms/index.php was linking to the wrong file, so I had to recreate a new symlink linking to the correct file. I am busy reading the documentation but being a beginner and without knowing what's wrong, I hate to repeat the install/upgrade exactly the same way and expect different results. Can anyone suggest something simple I have missed or done incorrectly? Thanks in advance.
