    I’ve spent my entire day trying to get this to work and now I’m in a time crunch, so any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    I have a client who had 1.4.1. She wanted a redesign. So I made a dev folder, duped out that site and upgraded that to 2.1.3. It went smoothly (relatively) and that is all fine and good. I developed her new design in 2.1.3.

    But her 1.4.1 site was still live during the development. She had members register—over 300 of them, actually—between the time I initially duped the site and the impending launch date (tomorrow). (She’s a popular author.)

    I exported just the member information from the original DB (1.4.1) and tried to import it into 2.1.3 to no avail.

    So I made a dummy area, duped the 1.4.1 again, thinking I can upgrade it just like I did before and export the members in a 2.1.3 format and make it easier to upgrade into the new 2.1.3 “live” site.

    This time, it’s not going smoothly.  I keep getting stuck at 1.4.2 to 1.5. I’ve run config-check.php and I’ve added the fields it told me to. The config is writable, but it says 142 in the version number.

    MySQL ERROR:

    Error Number: 1050

    Description: Table ‘exp_member_search’ already exists

    Query: CREATE TABLE `exp_member_search` ( `search_id` varchar(32) NOT NULL, `search_date` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `keywords` varchar(200) NOT NULL, `fields` varchar(200) NOT NULL, `member_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `ip_address` varchar(16) NOT NULL, `total_results` int(8) unsigned NOT NULL, `query` text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`search_id`), KEY `member_id` (`member_id`) )

    I’ve done this 3 times now and I’m about at my wit’s end. I don’t know what else to do. I’ve found only 2 threads on this forum and the archived veresion about it and none have been helpful or provided a concise resolution.

    So I really would love help with one or both of the following:

    1. A solution for getting my 1.4.1 members into 2.1.3

    OR

    2. A solution for upgrading 1.4.2 to 1.5 so I can try my original plan.

    Please help? 😊

    Thank you in advance!

    Also, I did manually change the config number 2x during the upgrade from 1.4.1 to 1.7 to get it to move forward, which worked. But then when I tried to upgrade to 2.1.3 after that, it gave me an error about not having a 152 update.php file.

    If that helps. 😊

    I have absolutely NO clue why, but I just did the upgrade yet again and this time, for whatever reason, it went through and upgraded 1.4.1 to 1.7 to 2.1.3. “Ours is not to reason why…”
