Upgrading 1.7.5 to 1.8 RC3 - problem

I copied my database for backup.

I then unzipped 1.8RC3 into a new directory. I run Apache on Win XP. I then ran the tiki-install and pointed to the db.

I then used the commandline to run the upgrade sql. I also ran the comments fix1 and fix2. Finally I ran the structure upgrade .php (which had errors 😑 ).

When I was all done, I reran the upgrade sql one final time (I found this in the docs).

When I try to start 1.8, I get an error related to the structure table (I ran the convert - but it obviously failed).

Anyone have a clean way to upgrade from 1.7.5?

Structures are still the tricky part about 1.8 upgrade. Come discuss with us at #tikiwiki to try to solve your problem, but the first thing to do is definitely to grab a fresh 1.8 CVS version.

BTW a more appropriate forum for this could be Tikiwiki Architecture/Installation.

Where is #tikiwiki?
