Please note that this update upgrades the internal ColdBox framework to v3.8 and some engines will need to be restarted for changes to take effect. I have upgraded 2 installations and for some reason, the engine needs to be restarted.
Media providers are used to deliver your media files securely and with greater flexibility as you can place your entire media root outside of the webroot.
I was just looking at my production sites, one of them I had upgraded to the 1.6.0.00016 so that means I would have had the same issue. I don’t recall this, certainly didn’t ask for the hosing company to restart.
So that means I would have changed the application name, so if anyone does run into this a quick name change might be the answer.
Any particular reason why this update isn’t cumulative? It seems like minor releases should be. Is there a check to prevent people from installing it if they don’t have 1.5.7 installed?
Yea rhere is a check for it and a message to download the patch manually. The reality is that 1.5 series had so many changes and issues with updates that starting fresh is needed
