There is more too it than this Luis, all the permissions for ContentStore are not being setup at all. All the things I had to do manually to go from 1.5.5 -> 1.5.6 I have to still do to get this upgrade functioning.
Now the production server is in an unstable state due to this.
I just upgraded my site from 1.5.5 to 1.5.7 last night and the only issue I had was that the request timed out after 50 seconds initially and I had to re-run the update. Is there a reason why you are upgrading just to 1.5.6? My understanding was you could upgrade to the latest, but you just needed to do the manual edits as well in your rewrites, etc for the stuff in 1.5.6 to fully work.
But Brad are you telling me that you can add Content to the Content store, and you can also browse the settings tab of the dashboard? Because I have now done 4 upgrades to test this and every single one of them failed.
Yes, each of those works for me. My server might have gone differently since it bailed halfway through and I needed to rerun it with a longer page timeout.
This shows the dump, but refuses to save the change. Which means that this is why the roles and permissions for ContentStore are screwed or not there as well.
I have flushAtReqestEnd set to false. Does the updater run inside a transaction? I think finishing a transaction will also cause a flush to occur. If you moved that code outside a transaction it might not flush.
I think it is safe to say that the updater is NOT run inside a transaction, come to think of it, I can’t even find how the updater is actually run.
All I know is that the updater fails on my machine, and it appears the only difference is that you and Luis use Railo and have not applied this update to a ColdFusion server as yet.
