I am running 1.7.0 and would like to upgrade to 2.X. I tried to run the 1.7 to 1.7.1 upgrade first but I get an error message when I attempt to that. I have dug around the email archives and other people have reported the same problem but no solution was put forward.
What was the error message?
Here is what I did. I untarred the 1.7.1 file and copied the files over my old install. I then navigated to the misc/upgrade/v1.7.0_to_v1.7.1/ URL and clicked on the "upgrade the configuration file" link
It redirected me to a URL like eventum/misc/upgrade/v1.7.0_to_v1.7.1/setup/ which gave a NOT FOUND error.
I figured that was supposed to be /setup and not /misc/upgrade/v1.7.0_to_v1.7.1/setup/ so I changed the URL manually to /setup
This gave me a FORBIDDEN error. Sure enough the permissions on the setup folder are
d--x------ 2 root wheel 4096 Feb 23 2006 setup/
So I set the permissions to 777 just for giggles and ran the URL again. This time I get the following errors
Warning: Unknown(/var/www/html/eventum/setup/index.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/var/www/html/eventum/setup/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0
Can I migrate from 1.7 directly to 2.X?
Between 1.7 and 2.0.0 there are database changes you need to run and a script to change the format of the config file.
Can I install the 2.X in a separate directory and only make the changes needed to the database (using same database)
Yes, but you will manually need to copy certain settings in your old config files into the new config file.
I think I will try this method next.
Is there a document which explains what the database changes are and what setting need to be migrated?
Thanks.
