Upgrading 1.7.5 to 1.8 RC3 - problem

posts: 51 United States

I just figured out how to upgrade from 1.7.5 to 1.8RC3. I am running on Apache with Win XP.

I unzipped the tiki 1.8 into a new directory. I also copied my database to a new one so I didn't mess up my old.

  1. I ran tiki-install.php to point to the new db
  2. I ran the "1.7 to 1.8 conversion script
  3. I ran the comment_fix scripts (1 & 2).
  4. the "structure" update didn't work for me. I tried running the PHP file, but got an error related to locating PEAR (anyone know how to fix that).
  5. I ended up "taking the sql buried in the PHP" and created sql scripts I could run directly against mysql. I couldnt' find them anywhere else but buried in the Strucutre...bla.1.7-to1.8.php file.
  6. Once I ran these scripts it was working.


Hope this helps.

Hi bobzim

We have a wiki page called Upgrade18 which covers this wink Good work.

However for the upgrade to 1.8 CVS anything beyond RC3 its different again as on that page. btw. Wiki structures wont work on RC3, grab the latest CVS code asap.
