Did I ask the question the wrong way? At this point, any ideas are appreciated.
Has anyone successfully upgraded their database from <=3.2.2 to 3.8.1? --Buck -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Golemon, Buck Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 6:38 PM To: RT Users List Cc: Descamps, Gilles-Eric; Lee, Mark (SV) Subject: [rt-users] RT Upgrade 3.2.2 -> 3.8.1: HTML::Mason goes intoinfinite loop. The installation works just find with a pristine database, but when I copy over my old database and follow the instructions at UPGRADING.mysql, I get this error: (see attached). This went on for two million lines before I stopped the server. It finally gets into a three-line loop like this: (again, see attached). I got some errors from schema.mysql-4.0-4.1.pl like this: # perl etc/upgrade/schema.mysql-4.0-4.1.pl rt3 rt_user rt_pass > sql.queries Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at etc/upgrade/schema.mysql-4.0-4.1.pl line 310. Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at etc/upgrade/schema.mysql-4.0-4.1.pl line 310. Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at etc/upgrade/schema.mysql-4.0-4.1.pl line 310. Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at etc/upgrade/schema.mysql-4.0-4.1.pl line 310. I had to replace all the occurrences (three total) of 'BLOB CHARACTER SET utf8' with just 'BLOB', since BLOB doesn't have a character set, and this is a syntax error in mysql. I also dropped and recreated the sessions table because it was corrupted. I did it like this: drop table sessions; CREATE TABLE `sessions` ( `id` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', `a_session` longblob NOT NULL, `LastUpdated` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 Thanks in advance, --Buck _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
