I attempted to upgrade a Links SQL 2.x database with approx. 700,000 links and 90,000 categories to GLinks 3.
During the "Adding Category tree..." section, I got this error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error
An error occured:
No parent category found for Gaming Resources/Card Gaming Resources/Combining! Your Category table is corrupted. at
/var/www/cgi-bin/iwd/admin/Links/Upgrade.pm line 157.
The parent category was there but it had an inconsistent Full_Name with the child catgory. I fixed this with MySQLMan and then encountered some others which I fixed as well. The upgrade then completed without errors. Only thing I noticed was that the def files were not updated properly to the new structure. Maybe it had something to do with reinstalling again after each error. I'll patch this up manually against another GLInks3 installation.
Also, the build repair on Links SQL 2.x did not pick up these category structure errors prior to the upgrade.
A script that checks and lists these corrupted categories before the actual upgrade would have been useful. Otherwise,
everything seems to be ok with the upgrade.
Hope this was useful.
