I’ve been trying to upgrade our current version 1.7.9 to 1.8.0 this last week.
First I tried the Docker Toolbox upgrade on our prod server (Win2012 R2). It is a VMware server and Docker will not run on VM unless it is exposed to “Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI” flag, and that is not an option in our environment.
I then set up a separate physical server, (I have been trying both Win 2016, Win2012 and Win7) but Docker will not read from my shared/backup folder, I always end up with a fresh install. Using Kitematic I tried to manually add the folders (a suggestion from another post). No luck.
Thinking maybe it had something to do with localizations I changed to English all over. (Users folder get renamed in Norwegian.) No luck. Still does not read from my shared folder.
I decided to go with the manual installation. Server set up and running as expected. Starting upgrade, lots of steps fail. 43,51,52,53,54,62,104,138,141,43,157,162. Skipping all these steps gets me to the login page, but everything is a mess.
I have read a lot of posts in the forum, trying each and every solution outlined, but the upgrade never succeeds whatsoever. Docker never reads anything local, and manual throws a bunch of errors.
Also tried to import a database through the import function in maintenance tab in cms (- error empty file import or something), that does not work either.
Could I send you a backup of our database, so that you could try it in your labs? I’m out of options.
Thanks
Well with all those upgrade steps skipped and your current environment, the first thing to do will be do rollback to 1.7.9 - since you still have db backup etc that shouldn’t be too hard to do.
Once you will have working 1.7.9 again.
Install docker environment in a correct version for your server - http://xibo.org.uk/manual-tempel/en/install_docker.html
(windows server might be an issue here - perhaps docker toolbox will work, I can’t try it here locally I’m afraid).
Once you will have your ‘old’ 1.7.9 running and docker environment installed, you can proceed to follow upgrade steps described here - http://xibo.org.uk/manual-tempel/en/upgrade.html
When you were trying that, did you follow all the steps there?
and did you put your exported from 1.7.9 db in shared/backup/import.sql?
Hi,
I have not touched prod yet. I always do it in a test env to be sure all works well. I’ve tried both toolbox and native, and I’ve followed the steps in the description.
I can’t get it to import and upgrade my database. Which is in the correct folder under c:\users.
And for my prod server, as it is set up, the only option is custom install, and then I get all these errors.
