[TYPO3-english] Upgrade from 6.2 LTS to 7 LTS

[Michael Schams]

Hi Dennis,

After thinking a little bit more about the issues you described... is
it possible that you did not rename the directory you extracted from
the ZIP file? The folder must read "extension_compatibility_check", so
it becomes:

typo3conf/ext/extension_compatibility_check/

When downloading the ZIP file directly from GitHub, the ZIP file
contains a folder "extension_compatibility_check-master".

To fix the issue on your server, try the following:

Go to the Extension Manager and locate the extension "Extension
Compatibility Check". It will likely show the extension key
"extension_compatibility_check-master". Disable the extension, then
rename the directory on your server (remove "-master" from the name).
Re-open the Extension Manager. The extension key shows the correct name
now. Activate the extension. Section "ADMIN TOOL" shows a new module
"Extension Compatibilities".

Do not forget to update your extension list *before* executing the
checks: Extension Manager -> Get extensions -> Update now.


Enjoy
Michael
