The following updates are available for your Gossamer Links installation:

Won't let me upgrade from 2.99.1 to 3.0 final.

I will go load the files locally and see if that works.

Same error

COnragts on a Final, BTW!!!!

Update: I was able to complete the upgrade using install.cgi instead of the upgrade from the panel.

So far upgrade has worked on one site, install.cgi on another and a third has failed due to a category tree issue. I emailed gt about that one, but if anyone knows how to fix a broken parent category issue, please let me know!!!!

Would wait to run the upgrade as would not want to ruin a live installation because of broken upgrades. Also, what is unclear as per that admin path issue is what about test installations being done to test it out before it is taken head on on a live installation. Each time reset (fom live --> test -->live) would ultimately exhaust the "Limited Number Of Changes (unspecified) Allowed". This would ertainly need a clearer guideline/indication from GT.

Also, in the bug fix lest, the Plugins.pm which was breaking Gossamer Mail (Delete Dupes) is not mentioned. So would also need a clarification on whether the Plugins.pm was a generic fix or something specific.

Thanks

Fortunately on the site I was upgrading that couldn't complete due to the file not found, it was a brand new site that only had the beta 2.99.1 on it. Not a live site.

I do have the admin url path issue on the one site that upgraded flawlessly. I also has the beta in a test directory and then moved it back to the live directory for the actual upgrade. I was told on the phone it wouldn't be an issue, but big red type on the update page tells me otherwise

I had that Category Tree issue when i upgraded my live site with 2.99.1 (category tree table was empty). I imported the data, repaired db and things are fine apparently after that,

Fortunately, i had data in category_tree table on test install

No such luck for me. I upgraded a 2.1 to 2.2, then tried to upgrade to 3.0. After it failed, I restored the backup, ran repair tables, and still no luck. It upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 without errors. Now I can't run in dynamic (that site doesn't so it's ok) but I also can't delete the "orphaned" categories or create the missing one.

I think i had posted in one of the eralier threads. if i am already running a version 2.2 then why does the installer say

Upgrading from 2.1 --> 2.2
Upgrading from 2.2 --> 3.0

Most failures have been on second step. Not too sure if anyone has run the installer on 2.1.2 directly and then not faced with any errors...

Thanks

That problem should be fixed now. Unfortunately, there's still some bugs in the update system that need to be worked out. Remember that you can still download the installer from the download area.

What Category tree issue are you having?

Adrian

Currently, you'll be allowed to update your path an unlimited number of times. We have yet to decide how many times to allow you to update the path.

Yes, this was included.

Adrian

What message are you getting?

Adrian

It would only say that if your Config/Data.pm said you were running 2.1.

Adrian

Adrian, I sent an email through the support page about the first one, but now a second upgrade via install.cgi from 2.2 to 3.0 has failed with the same error, and I made sure I ran repair tables prior to the install just to be sure. This is the error:
Error
An error occured:
No parent category found for Writing/Non-Fiction/Research Papers/Citation Guides! Your Category table is corrupted.

That error means it found a category named "Writing/Non-Fiction/Research Papers/Citation Guides", yet there isn't a category named "Writing/Non-Fiction/Research Papers". Can you check if your database has that category? That or send me admin panel access and I can take a quick look.

Adrian

IIRC Links/Config/Data.pm (2.2.0) structure replaced Links/ConfigData.pm in 2.1.2, so the mere fact that the structure as exisitng before upgrade was Links/Config/Data.pm signifies that i was not running 2.1.2 in any case. Anyway, checking from the preupgrade backups i see the following:

Actual checking of preupgrade has the following:

Links/ConfigData.pm
.....
.....
'version' => '2.1.2'
};


Links/Config/Data.pm
......
......
'version' => '2.2.0'
};

So 2.1.2 --> 2.2.0 upgrade ws pretty fine before 2.2.0 -->2.99* upgrade. There is some issue with the installer then... I have all the backups of the preupgrades files.

Thanks

Your ConfigData.pm should have been removed previously.

Adrian

Yeah it was never there in version 2.2.0 path from where i was upgrading (2.2.0 --> 2.99.1) on live site.

In fact on testinstall, i never installed 2.1.2 and even then i got the same message while upgrading from 2.2.0 --> 2.99 beta. You mean that there should be no trace of ConfiData.pm on the server at all?

Thanks
