Urgent problem with mysql database

[pchristofides]

I was running cacti 0.8.6c and I had also installed cacti 0.6.5. By mistake I have started the old version of cacti and started the installation on the database of the new version. Now the new cacti 0.8.6c down not operating and replies with:

Error

You are attempting to install cacti 0.8.6c onto a 0.6.x database. To continue, you must create a new database, import 'cacti.sql' into it, and update 'include/config.php' to point to the new database.

What shall I do. I have tried to do some things but no luck. Is there a way to upgrade this database?

Thanks in advance.

Try the following query on the cacti database... Will get past the install problem, but you may have more issues.

Code: Select all

update version set cacti = '0.8.6c';

Good luck,

Thanks for the response,

I have already solved the problem by doing the same thing.

I have edited the table "version" in the database and changed the value from 0.6.5 to 0.8.6c and the cacti was back and working fine. The only thing is that I lost the data for the time that cacti was down.

Thanks and regards.
