Upgrading from EE 3 to EE 7

Hi Fathom,

Thanks for getting in touch about this!

Just took a quick peek at the code that running this. I’m guessing after running the update a few times, your running into duplicate data. I’d recommend backing up your database (specifically the channels_channel_field_groups table) and then Truncating (or deleting that table) and running the update again.

Please note, I would also aim to run the updater directly to EE 7 as the updater shipped with Version 7 has significant improvements.

It may also be worth disabling extensions in via your config file

Thanks,

Hi,

thanks for getting back to me. I’ve deleted the channels_channel_field_groups table and now i’m getting the following error:

Should I remove this table too?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Dan

Taking a peek at the code…

Yes.. I’d say make sure it’s backed up and then do the same with that table.

The following would also fall into this boat, if you hit them.

• channels_channel_fields
• channel_field_groups_fields

Again, I strongly recommend having a DB backup.

Thanks,

Thanks so much for your help, that all worked!

I’ve now downloaded Freeform for $149 and installed it and it works fine. However for some reason when I go to the ‘Entries’ tab, I get errors that look relevant to freeform. I don’t suppose you have any ideas?

Thanks, Dan

Hrm- first, double check that there’s an ft.freeform.php file in system/user/addons/freeform. There should be, but let’s eliminate the simple options first.

And you didn’t have Freeform (any variety) installed prior to this- correct?
