Can't get 2.2 upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 to work?
Over a period of time since 2.2 was released I was never able to get a working upgrade of my version 2.1.13p1 software. It was easier to just stay where I was. Now I thought I would take another crack at it and once again I can't get the upgrade to work. When I run the utility/update I just get a blank page each time I refresh the page. When I go to the site address I get the following error message.
Fatal Error in PHP.trigger_error();
Unknown column 'w.Participated' in 'field list'
Additional information for support personnel:
Application: Vanilla
Application Version: 2.2.1
PHP Version: 5.5.38
Operating System: Linux
Server Software: Apache
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12) AppleWebKit/602.1.50 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Safari/602.1.50
Request Uri: /vanilla-2/
Controller: PHP
Method: trigger_error
I have attempted to follow the upgrade thread included with the download as well as the help file by peregrine. I have been fortunate with my limited knowledge of running a forum for a small club (nobody else would do it!) to be able to upgrade with few problems from Vanilla 1 up to the present 2.1.13p1.
Would appreciate any help on this keeping in mind my knowledge of php is limited.
Thanks,
Dan

Try opening yourpage.com/utillity/structure first.
If that doesn't help try disabling allplugins, revert back to the default theme and try the update again.
Ok, thanks! I had tried /utility/structure and did not work however I tried the upgrade again and this time it worked. Thanks
Nice to hear that!
See if you can get PHP upgraded to 5.6 now!
Thanks Linc for the headsup. Checked with the host and they upped it to 5.6
