I received the following error when attempting to update to 2.5.1

——————————————————-
A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1054

Unknown column ‘ref_ip’ in ‘exp_comments’

ALTER TABLE `exp_comments` CHANGE `ref_ip` `ref_ip` varchar(45)

Filename: /server_path/system/expressionengine/modules/referrer/upd.referrer.php

Line Number: 162
——————————————————-

The error occurs imediately after clicking submit on the license agreement page of the installer.

I’ve since reverted back to 2.5.0

Look at this solution/fix: https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/17968

It’s a known bug, but there seems to be a way around it for the time being if you need it.

Not only did I get this same error but, after doing the above recommended work around and running installer I now get this error…..

A Database Error Occurred

Error Number: 1091

Can’t DROP ‘code’; check that column/key exists

ALTER TABLE `exp_ip2nation_countries` DROP KEY `code`

Filename: /home/wincityh/public_html/arp/earp/expressionengine/modules/ip_to_nation/upd.ip_to_nation.php

Line Number: 182

Just tried to update again and everything went smoothly with the Bug Report solution posted above 😊 Thanks Tea, for posting that.

Not sure about the second issue with the IP to Nation Module though :( I have that module installed in my setup, but didn’t get the error.

Hey Bryan Crabtree,

Glad to see that this is resolved. Nice work. Sorry you ran into this bug
