Cannot upgrade to 2.10
How Do I?
Hi, I try to upgrade EE from 2.4 to 2.10 but in the second screen I got this error: “A Database Error Occurred Error Number: 1060 Duplicate column name ‘can_search’ ALTER TABLE exp_member_groups ADD COLUMN can_search char(1) NOT NULL default ‘n’ Filename: updates/ud_009.php Line Number: 112”
If anyone can help me will be appreciated. Thanks
Oddly enough, that update actually occurs in the very, very first update available- .09. Which is why it’s saying ‘that field already exists!’.
The updater is trying to run the wrong update.
That typically happens when there’s an ‘old style’ variable name in your config.php file.
Open up system/expressionengine/config/config.php and make sure all of your variables have the format
$config['variable_name'] = 'n';Especially watch out for any like
$conf['variable_name'] = "";Did that do the trick?
Thanks Robin, yes, in config file was a line with $conf[‘variable_name’] Now it’s OK It was a very old version installed
Ah- that would do it. Glad you got it figured out!
