Issue after upgrading from 5.3.1 to 6.2.3

[Michael Levec]

I've been upgrading an instance on CentOS and although internal functions like the admin pages do work, whenever I click user created contens or links (ANY type), I run into a Java exception:

 Does anyone have a clue what this is supposed to tell me?

[Pavel Potcheptsov · Accepted solution]

Are you sure that you updated all addons after upgrade?

[Michael Levec]

Thanks, that is indeed something I did not do. I will try that and get back here

[Michael Levec]

Thanks for that hint. After cleaning out old plugins and upgrading the remaining, we were able to upgrade properly.
