Database update message shown after upgrade

[pierre0042]

Hello,

I have managed to upgrade my e107 to v2.0, but in keep getting this message in the admin saying : "System Information There is a database update available, please click button to install ..."

What could be the cause ?

If you enable 'debug' (using the Firefox addon for example) it should display the reason for the notification.

System Debug Plugin Update(s) Required - different version

Ok so I see that in the plugins list, e107 says that "Forum" must be upgraded :

forums_32.png Forum 1.2 2012-08-01 content e107 Inc. Made for v2 This plugin is a fully featured forum system.

but the problem is that I have already upgraded this plugin...

If you go into Tools > Database > Check for updates. You should still see some updates you can perform.

[pierre0042]

It shows me

Update from 1.x to 2.0 OK Add additional/missing core settings OK Forum UPDATE

Same issue : I have already done that. If I try it fails on the tables creation.

This shows the the forum update has not been completed properly. I suggest going back to the backup and trying again. You can enable debug to have it display extra information which may be useful in case you run into issues.

• Restore to backup
• Download files from Github
• Overwrite existing files with files from Github
• Go to the admin area and follow the database updates
• Remember to perform all database updates before doing anything else.
• If you get stuck on any part during the update, STOP and ask in this issue report. Especially regarding the forum. All steps must be completed during the forum update. If you click on the update button next to 'forum', you get a new page with a dozen steps (or so) which you have to go through in order to update the forum properly.

Ok I will try this but I am sure I have already done this forum update.

[pierre0042]

The problems I encounter are that the tables creation at step2 fails, because the tables already exist.

Adding a check for this case would be nice.

I'll work on something.

Please update from github and try again. Thanks

[pierre0042]

Thanks. I have less errors but it still fails : http://imgur.com/j6W4JB0

Some tables exist and are not empty...

[CaMer0n]

@pierre0042 Please restore your v1.x forum tables, remove the new ones, and start again.

[pierre0042]

Ok I will try that, just to be sure, the v1 tables are : e107_forum e107_forum_t e107_forum_thanks (from a plugin I think)

[CaMer0n]

Yes! (I have no idea about e107_forum_thanks)

[pierre0042]

Success Congratulations, the forum upgrade is now completed!

Forum Version updated to version: 2.0

Ok so I run through the 12 steps without error. I have chosen to keep the v1 tables as backup. I hope it will be ok now.

[pierre0042]

It's not working... In the plugin manager, it says that Forum must be upgraded to v2.0 :( Is it maybe because I kept the old tables ?

[pierre0042]

I tried to rename the old tables but it's the same problem : http://imgur.com/WxhYnVW
