beta 2 update database errors

  • Hi!
    I tried to update my wordpress 0.71 testblog to beta 2 of version 0.72. The update script complaints about missing database tables (https://horatio.aumund.org/wp-072.html). So I erased all and made a fresh install of 0.71, reloaded the database, copied my indec.php etc and tried again. It ended with excactly the same error. Any suggestions?

  • The database tables are in error. In the 0.71 release, it was using the normal b2 database structure (from looking at the 0.71 install), 0.72 uses wp_ prefix before every table as default. I’m assuming if you run https://yourserver.com/wp-admin/upgrade-071-to-072.php , that it will correct it.

    The described error occured when executing the upgrade script.

    A quick fix would to export the database using PHPMyAdmin and then manually changing the table names to reflect what you have in wp-config. Then drop the current database, import the MySQL dump (after modifications) and then run the upgrade script.

    with a fresh install table wp_options _values is wrong and an sql error is reported: something about blob (sorry i dont remember the exact error type), then the table is not created.

    Sorry, was my fault. I didn’t set $table_prefix in wp-config.php correctly. Now the upgrade went right.
