    Hi guys

    Just to let know for everyone upgrading their EE from 2.1.1
    There was many database errors like this:

    A Database Error Occurred
    
    Error Number: 1060
    
    Duplicate column name 'show_sidebar'
    
    ALTER TABLE exp_members ADD show_sidebar char(1) NOT NULL default 'y' AFTER quick_tabs
    
    Filename: updates/ud_212.php
    
    Line Number: 53
    
    « Back

    I run my phpmyadmin and manually delete all duplicated columns. I did this at least 30 times 😊
    When there was a problem with columns drop i just commented corresponding lines - that was with upgrading to 2.4.

    So, after a half hour upgrade finishes successfully 😊 - now i’m running 2.5.2

    I must say that I was expecting fewer problems :exclaim:

    Good luck with upgrading your system.
