1.5 Upgrade from 1.4.9.0 failed - rollback failed too

[lowlight]

When I upgraded from a 1.4.9.0 working shop, I got this error:

 

[ERROR] PHP 1.5.0.4 /* PHP:update_mailalerts_add_column_idshop(); */ 1 - unable to create column id_shop (Table 'samurai_1_2.ps_mailalert_customer_oos' doesn't exist)

 

Warning detected during upgrade.

 

The rollback failed too so now the shop is broken. Restoring from a manual upgrade now.

 

Manual upgrade using the upgrade.php script runs OK, but the site is broken afterward. Front page is totally messed up, and various pages are broken.

 

I wonder if it's because I went from 1.2.5.0 to 1.4.9.0? Is there a better upgrade path I should attempt?

I too have a total mess. upgrade had incomplete screen and rollback a disaster.

Me too.... This is not looking good because although I cannot read French, a search of upgrade errors in the forum throws up a LOT of people complaining.

 

I assume I now re-install from scratch and then restore the database but can I install 1.5 and restore my old DB?? or should I re-install 1.4 and restore?

 

I will try both but some quick responses on this forum would be usefull.

You're not alone. I would comment that upgrading from 1.2 is a long way... I would suggest a manual upgrade to 1.4.8.2 (I'm on it and it's working fine) or 1.4.9.0 (Couldn't get this to work but a lot of people are using it.).

 

Although 1.5 is working, it seems to work best from a clean install, there's a lot of complaints about upgrading, I haven't managed to get it to work yet and I've tried alot!

 

The other thing to bear in mind is if you have any customized modules and theme

I failed to restore a 1.4 DB into 1.5.

 

My recommendation to anyone with a working 1.4 system - DO NOT UPGRADE TO 1.5!

I installed 1.4.9 tonight, then tried to upgrade to 1.5, but found out that I needed to download the newest version of 1Click Upgrade 0.8.2 from the Prestashop Store. Then I was able to get though the upgrade to 1.5. Hope this helps.

 

Good Luck!
