TYPO3 Upgrade 4.2 to 4.3  – Backendview

Today i had some trouble after upgrading TYPO3 Installation 4.2.10 to 4.3.3 .
After the big security announcement i decided to update all costumers TYPO3 Installations.

With my short step-by-step upgrade sheet everything works fine, only one …

After Uploading the files the TYPO3 Install-Tool appears with basic black/white stylesheet, no images, no alignement … *strange*
The Backend doesn’t show any image, the menu couldn’t get clicked – aahhhhrgh! Whats up?!

But here’s my solution: SEARCH, READ, UNDERSTAND, ADJUST

I found some hints in the install.txt from TYPO3 source:

Make sure that AllowOverride allows “Indexes” and “FileInfo” in the Apache
configuration. If you cannot ensure this, rename .htaccess files to
_.htaccess. TYPO3 will run but considerably slower.
Here is the list of the files to rename:
typo3/contrib/.htaccess
typo3/gfx/.htaccess
typo3/mod/user/ws/.htaccess
typo3/sysext/.htaccess
typo3/sysext/t3skin/stylesheets/.htaccess
If the error does not disappear, web server error logs should help.

That’s all. First i tested mith renaming the .htaccess to _.htaccess, in the second step i adjust the apache-config manually -> tataaaam, it works fine!

So have fun with TYPO3.
