Updated through Joomla Live Update but got this error:

1048 Column 'created_date' cannot be null

The system still tells me it's updated to J4 RC4.

Updated from RC3 using the downloaded update file. Backend crashed with a red screen and a 500 error.

I did notice a flash from another page showing for a split second when doing a refresh, and a video capture gave this:

Error in /httpdocs/administrator/modules/mod_menu/src/Menu/CssMenu.php (line 416)
and then another one for line 447 etc.

Is there any way I can fix this, or do I have to install from scratch? This is a dev site hosted on launch.joomla.org.

Updated from RC1 using the downloaded update file.
As far as I can tell, everything is working perfectly .

What was the last SQL statement logged in the administrator/logs/joomla_update.php log file?

Oh, sorry, I just see it is about updating from RC 3 to RC 4. There has not been any additional update SQL from RC 3 to RC 4, so it shouldn't have been a problem with update SQL scripts for this update. Maybe something went wrong with a previous update?

Note this was using Live Update not the update package through Upload and Update (not sure that should make a difference). I'm not actually sure it's a J4 RC4 (core) issue; the Extensions Manager shows a database error with SP Page Builder (which has been actively developed to J4 compatibilty since the J4 Alpha releases), but the Database 'Fix' doesn't seem to work. (It's a file manifest issue; SPPB installed is 3.7.12, the manifest is 3.7.10 (or something like that).

I still get errors about the PHP tmp file not being configured so I need to check with my webhost. (all other permissions are set as they should be)

I will investigate other possibilities.

Menu is still rubbish
Not keen on install filling in 'joomla_db' for the database name
I do like the warning during install when php version is too old
Other than that it works ok so far.

could we get the final version on the 7th of september or there will be more than 2 rc-s still coming up?

ok nice, but how long could all of the extension updates take

[Richard67]

Depends on how many you use :-) I always recommend to use only what's really necessary but saw sites where with 1 necessary extensions 49 others, unused ones were installed because the bundle pack with 50 extensions was cheaper ;-)
