[TYPO3-english] Fatal error on upgrading from 6.1.7 to 6.2.0beta5

[Markus Klein]

It may have worked in the past to have the core inside the ext directory, but this not possible anymore, since the whole ext folder searched for Extensions/Packages by the PackageManager.

Blank page: Please have a look into the server logs and/or turn displayErrors on in the install tool before upgrading.

Kind regards
Markus
