possible to restart upgrade?

Post by kmart »

Hi,

Currently running 0.8.8b and trying to upgrade to latest (1.2.2).

Encountered a problem when the installer started upgrading existing database. Got to Database Upgrade - Version 1.1.34 which failed with error:

Code: Select all

ALTER IGNORE TABLE version DROP PRIMARY KEY    [Fail]
found same issue #2482 on GitHub with solution being to remove:

Code: Select all

db_install_execute('ALTER IGNORE TABLE version DROP PRIMARY KEY');
Then add:

Code: Select all

db_install_drop_key('version', 'key', 'PRIMARY');
to install/upgrades/1_1_34.php

I did this but when i go back to the cacti page it's stuck at the same spot. I imagine i have to restart the installation process? How do i do that?

edit:

Sorry i forgot to mention that this is a fresh install on ubuntu 18.04 (not using repo). before beginning to install i imported a database dump from the existing server and copied over the rras.

Solved my own problem.

Dropped cacti database that was partially upgraded and imported sqldump from current cacti server.

Reloading webpage started process from the beginning.
