Hi,

I tried to upgrade from version 1.0 to 1.2.1 and I followed the instruction in FAQ:

1. Backup files and DB
2. Copy and overwrite all files from 1.2.1 to 1.0.
3. Open admin page with admin user name and password, upgrader cannot be found in this page.

The version number in admin pages is 1.2.1, however the index page still displays 1.0. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Mai Sun

I changed the version number in my s9y_config_local.inc.php to 1.0 and I saw the upgrader and went through it, however I received the following error msg when exeuting DB changes:

CREATE INDEX pluginretr_idx ON mai_blog_plugins (placement, sort_order);

create table mai_blog_mediaproperties (
mediaid int(11) not null,

property_group varchar(50) not null default '',

value text

ALTER TABLE mai_blog_category ADD COLUMN hide_sub int(1);
/ Duplicate column name 'hide_sub'

CREATE INDEX categoryso_idx ON mai_blog_category (sort_order);
/ Duplicate key name 'categoryso_idx'

Then I open my index page and the version number in the bottum is still 1.0, however the s9y_config_local.inc.php is changed to 1.2.1.

Hi!

What's your URL? The version number on the frontend and in the backend both come from the same file. This shouldn't be possible.

The error message you get actually indicates that the upgrade was executed already!

Hi, here is my URL:

Thx!

Hi!

In the HTML sourcecode of your URL it says "Serendipity 1.2.1". Where do you still see an old version string?

I had the same MySQL errors, but at the bottom of that page I have gotten "Successifully upgraded to 1.3.1". When I went back to the site, it asked me to upgrade again... It turns out that my serendipity_config_local.inc.php was not writable. Once I made it writable and completed the upgrade again I was good to go.
