[documentation] Re: [support] Updating from 4.5.2 (in CivicSpace distro) to 4.6.7 Drupal

[Laura Scott]

Hi Liza,

4.5 to 4.6 was a tough upgrade, as I recall. From what I remember,  
what I had to do on a couple of sites is move back through the update  
versions. Your database update seems to have missed a column insert  
in a previous update. (A (mis)educated guess.)

I believe a number of people were able to get the update to work by  
moving backwards through the db upgrade numbers. You might even dig  
through the update file looking for "severity" and scroll up from  
there to the update number it involves.

In fact, I just dug through updates.inc (in the database folder) and  
found this:

function update_115() {
   $ret = array();
   if ($GLOBALS['db_type'] == 'mysql') {
     $ret[] = update_sql("ALTER TABLE {watchdog} ADD severity tinyint 
(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'");
   }
   else if ($GLOBALS['db_type'] == 'pgsql') {
     $ret[] = update_sql('ALTER TABLE {watchdog} ADD severity  
smallint');
     $ret[] = update_sql('UPDATE {watchdog} SET severity = 0');
     $ret[] = update_sql('ALTER TABLE {watchdog} ALTER COLUMN  
severity SET NOT NULL');
     $ret[] = update_sql('ALTER TABLE {watchdog} ALTER COLUMN  
severity SET DEFAULT 0');
   }
   return $ret;
}

You might try rerunning update.php, and manually selecting version  
115, and see how that goes.

OR (safer) extract the MySQL from this update, convert it into mysql  
syntax and run the commands manually.

Hope this helps!

BTW, if this is CivicSpace (which I guess only from your db name),  
why are you doing a Drupal upgrade and not a CivicSpace upgrade?

Best,
Laura
