Hi, I have been using Cotonti (V 0.6.5 ?? I think) for a while now and never saw much of a reason to upgrade any further. However it has been a while and I feel I have to do something to try and keep up, so here is my problem. How do I upgrade from my current version to the latest Cotonti release? I am not even sure I know what my current version is, I go to admin then cotonti and it says this: Version / Database 0.6.5 / 0.6.5 Do I have to go through every upgrade one by one or is there just one package I can update from. Is there a step by step guide or can someone follow me through it in a safe way. Thanks

In Siena, the latest version, you no longer have to go through all those steps. You simply follow these steps:

I would recommend updating from 0.6.5 to 0.6.20 first. This procedure includes:
After updating to the latest 0.6.x you can safely leave it as it is or upgrade to 0.9.x like Gert described above. May the Source be with you!

Sorry about that, I forgot about the database prefix which is different between Genoa and Siena. This is the reason why your database now contains both cot_* and sed_* tables. Before you run install.php open datas/config.php and change the value of $db_x from 'cot_' to 'sed_'. You can remove all tables starting with cot_. Those were created when you ran install.php so most of them will be empty. It's easiest to just continue using sed_* tables, it doesn't make any difference for the system. The goal is to let install.php use your existing database tables instead of having it create new tables. For this it will have to know the right prefix, otherwise it won't detect your existing tables. |

I changed config to sed then I goto install.php STEP #1 This script will setup the basic Cotonti installation and configuration for you.
It is recommended to copy datas/config-sample.php to datas/config.php and set CHMOD 666 on datas/config.php before running this script.
Cotonti Web Installer ver. 0.9.4 Step 2 of 4 Then this................ Fatal error: SQL error 42S01: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table 'sed_auth' already exists #0 cot_diefatal(SQL error 42S01: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table 'sed_auth' already exists) called a ect...... big list of stuff |

Apparently the installer believes it's a fresh install rather than an upgrade. In datas/config.php set $cfg['new_install'] to FALSE. If it doesn't exist, create it as follows: $cfg['new_install'] = FALSE; |

Did this $cfg['new_install'] = FALSE;
and this $db_x 'cot_' now = 'sed_'.
Now I get this 2011-12-02 02:39

Did you run install.php again? |
| musashi9 |

Yes and this is the msg that it gives me
Fatal error: SQL error 42S22: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'c_realm' in 'where clause' Added 12 hours later: I just checked my sed_cache on myphp and it seems to be empty with no records at all. |

Are you sure that you run install.php, not login.php? The error message #4 tells that login.php is being run. Another question: do you rollback your database before trying to upgrade again? Did your genoa database have sed_updates table? May the Source be with you!

Yes I run Install but it seems to jump straight to login.php. This is everything I have done #1 I had 0.6.5 install I was told to update to 6.20 which I did without problems, then I was told to update to Siena, and just run install.php. This gave me problems as described above
The main problem was my database was sed_ .... not cot_.. so I changed the value of $db_x from 'cot_' to 'sed_'. and I set
To answer your second question, no my DB doesn't have a sed_updates table. I don't think any of my DB backups has this table |

Hmm, did you put your site into maintenance mode before upgrading? May the Source be with you!

Yes, this is the cause. Disable maintenance mode in Admin panel before upgrading. May the Source be with you!
