Upgrade when ok
manually stopped services
disabled all plugins - then had to use normal ports (already updated to 8443 on mine.
errata - disabled php-APC line in wheezy docs - still only shows in 1.2 but still an issue for Wheezy users that upgraded to php5.5 manually.
ran the installer
no errors finished sucessfully
admin panel would never load on any ports.
All websites worked fine - didn't have time to dig deeper rolled back to 1.3.0 via shapshot.
panel webserver never started back up it appears.
which logs should I check on next attempt? so I can post more information?
(other plan) move sites to fresh jessie install without too many customization - which seem to cause some of my issues!
