Running EE 2.3 and trying to upgrade, the first error is a message which says:

We have detected that you are currently running ExpressionEngine version Public Beta pb01
If you are ready to update ExpressionEngine to version 2.5.0 click the link below:

Which is odd in itself as it is not a public beta but v2.3.

Then there are a slew of errors relating to duplicated tables and no primary key - these are all fixable in PhpMyAdmin by deleting or editing but is a major pita.

Next, with those errors fixed we run into one for which I have no solution: the installer stalls because a field/table prefixed with ‘weblog_’ does not exist. Which of course it does not as we’re not upgrading from V1. Obviously though the installer thinks we are and won’t go further.

Is pretty imperative we get this upgrade done asap.

Anyone have any suggestions? This is on EngineHosting and they can’t help.. what’s next? Can’t really abandon the upgrade….

Cheers

I would pony up for EE tech support on that one.

Yes, it looks like that is going to be the best bet… problem is it’s up to the client and whether they can wear it. What’s the entry-level pricing on it now?

Edit: checked - seems that they won’t really want to go in at 45 per month as they won’t need support again most likely.

Maybe pay a dev as a one-off if anyone knows of someone who can do this?

Well, it would be a lot cheaper to pay for a month and then cancel rather than hire a dev (unless you can find one to fix the issue for less than $49). Also, if you’ve not signed up with support yet, you get 3 months free with your first license (or your clients).

Ah, I thought you had to commit to 12 months for some reason - you’re right then… it’s starting to look like a very good deal!
