Failed upgrade 2.0.? to 2.1.18p1 "Undefined index: DisplayAs"

edited January 2015 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I followed the upgrade instructions but the yourforum.com/index.php?p=/utility/update page says:

Failure
The update was not successful.
Debug Trace
Info Need to re-index theme cache
Info Need to re-index plugin cache

When I try to use the forum, it sort of seems to work but the top of the page says

"Notice: Undefined index: DisplayAs in /home1/myfolder/public_html/forum/applications/vanilla/models/class.categorymodel.php on line 156"

What does that mean?

I've turned on debugging, switched to default theme, deleted the helper_functions.php file, deleted the .ini files from the cache folder and disabled the only plugin besides HTMLawed.

  • Have you run /utility/update a second time?

    Go to /utility/structure to find what queries have not executed. You can manually paste them into a SQL manager to run them one at a time if necessary. Then run /utility/update again to confirm they all applied.

  • It appears to be

    alter table GDN_Tag
    add unique index UX_Tag (Name, CategoryID)

    But running that in phpMyAdmin fails saying

    1061 - Duplicate key name 'UX_Tag'

    Not sure what a unique index is in SQL but every field in that table seems to be both of them. There's no UX_Tag field.

    OK, fixed it like this:

    Dropped the UX_Tag key from the GDN_Tag table

    Ran that SQL query to add the key back again

    Ran /utility/update and it said success

    Sadly now all the files people had attached to their posts seem to have disappeared and FileUplad plugin doesn't work with 2.1 :( It would be great if the old 2.0 still got the security updates then everything would keep running smoothly.

  • O for awesome! That modification to version 1.8.4 of the FileUpload plugin works perfectly!
