problem update to 2.1

jackmaessen

I have tried several times to update my forum from 2.0.18.10 to 2.1 but without success. I keeps hanging on "Failure"
I followed these instructions to update:
http://vanillaforums.org/docs/installation-upgrade
I also put this line into my config.php: $Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE; and it says:
Need to re-index theme cache
Need to re-index plugin cache

How can i make the update possible?

see the hints: you need to solve the failure issue.

run /utlitty/structure 7 or 8 times.

if you don't know how to run /utlitty/structure read this.

if you still have a problem re-read all the links, focus carefully, and see if you missed any steps.

then after you made an attempt to read the links and follow the instructions in ALL the links, and still have a problem, detail step-by-step what you did. If you say I did "everything" consider that as a non-answer and then post in detail step-by-step what you did and re-read again.

@peregrine: i followed these steps above you told me; i did run the query alter table GDN_Tag drop index UX_Tag; after that i did run the **Run structure&data scripts **again en there appears no error anymore.
So i tried to update again via utility/update in the url and now it says: SUCCESS, the update was successful.
But below this still is the info:

Need to re-index theme cache
Need to re-index plugin cache

I wrote already a new topic and it works fine.
I also tried to comment on an existing topic from the old database and it also works fine.
So thank you very much for support

bottom line

You can ignore the "Need to re-index theme/plugin cache" messages.
