I posted a support ticket but don't know when they will get back to me and wonder if anyone else can help. Running the automated upgrade and it broke -- it is stuck on Step 8 of 11 -- "copy upgrades" -- all the files listed seem successful except at the very bottom it says Could not copy file [/home/**/public_html/**com/public/amember/data/.upgrade.vhJ2Hl-unpack/amember/application/default/views/_login.phtml] to remote [application/default/views/_login.phtml] When I press continue, it merely refreshes that page. Amember is stuck in maintenance mode.
Ok, I figured that one out -- it was a permissions issue, for some reason the owner/group had changed on this particular file -- fixed it -- thanks!
