I am trying (just for testing purposes) to update my current database to the latest Sienna version. But, I have been busy with it all day and have to simply give up. It keeps doing funny things with my database.
Let me first tell what I did.
1- upgraded to latest Genoa version (database + files)
2- uploaded the latest Sienna files, overwriting the old files
3 - uploaded the legacy Sienna files, overwriting the previously uploaded files
4- run the installer
No errors show in the installer but my entire database has been changed. My website structure is removed and replaced with the default. All my pages are still there though, just structure is gone.
My forums structure is removed and replaced by the default. All forum posts etc are still there though....
I can not acces the forums at all, I get an sql error. When vieiwing the users there is only one, just me. But, in the database which was there before the install was run there were 47k users.
I have no idea what this is causing. Some parts of my DB are still there but other parts are replaced by the defaults.
So, instead of relying on the auto update, can I manually update as well? I have disabled all plugins on the Genoa website before attempting this.
What would be the correct procedure to manually upgrade the DB? I took a look in the setup folders but I am not sure which sql patches I should all execute and which I should just not touch.
Say, I want to upgrade my DB from 0.6.25 genoa to Sienna 0.9.15, how could I manually do that?
Also, the prefix of my tables is still "sed_", I changed that in the config (otherwise the install could not even run) but I was wondering if having a "sed_" prefix could cause issues in the future? How would I go about to change all my DB prefixes to cot_ instead of sed_?
