Re: [Phpwiki-talk] How to upgrade MySQL DB from PHPWiki 1.3.12p2 to 1.3.14

[<sac...@gm...>]

Thank you for the quick reply! I did not receive this email. So I just 
copied the text from the archieves, thereby probably creating a new 
thread... sorry.

Failed indeed:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that 
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use 
near 'VARCHAR(100)' at line 1


 > ALTER TABLE link ADD relation INT DEFAULT 0;

This worked!


 > And then optionally again ?action=3Dupgrade to fill in the relations.

This failed, seemingly, 3Dupgrade is an unknown action in my setup:

...(snipped some text)
[nativecode=1054 ** Unknown column 'cached_html' in 'field list'])
     *

lib/main.php:873 Notice[1024]: 3Dupgrade: Unknown action


I tried ?upgrade instead. With this, the migration went further as 
before, but still failed:

Upgrading this PhpWiki

(spice_phpwiki is the name of the DB as well as the name of the admin user)

Is there a bug in upgrade.php or do you think there is a problem with my 
settings?
