Upgrading from 0.8.4 (MySQL) on Windows

Added by Nicola Lepetit about 13 years ago

Hi,
we are using Redmine since mid 2009 but we are stuck to version 0.8.4 because we were never able to upgrade it to a successive release.

We now are really wanting to upgrade to the last available one, but we are not able to. We were not able to find any useful info on the web or on your site, since almost all how-tos are for Linux.

Can you please help us ?

Thanks,
Nick.

This is pretty much the same process described in RedmineUpgrade.

What went wrong the last time you tried ?

We are already blocked at first step: we do not the name of the database to make the backup, nor the userid and password for mysql.

We have tried with the admin account, but it is not working.

use the database name, username & password defined in you config/database.yml file, this should work ?

Thanks,
we were able to backup the DB. Now we are stuck on the command: rake config/initializers/session_store.rb

Where do we find rake ?

Thanks!
Nick.

It should be included with your ruby installation or you can install it via the gem install rake command.

As a result, you should find a rake.bat file in you ruby bin directory. Whichever bin directory should be added to your PATH environment variable.

Hi,
next problem is for step 4.

We have installed the release 1.1.1 in a different folder
We have a backupRedmine.bak file that is the result of the sqldump instruction (now moved to the server desktop).

I've issued the command "rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production" from the redmine root directory and, after a few second we get four times a message box saying:

---------------------------
ruby.exe - Unable To Locate Component
---------------------------
This application has failed to start because CORE_RL_magick_.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. 
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

And, at the end of the process, we get this message:

C:\Program Files\Redmine\apps\redmine>rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
(in C:/Program Files/Redmine/apps/redmine)
rake aborted!
Access denied for user 'bitnami'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

What we are missing ?

Thanks,
Nick.

About first point : ImageMagick directory must be added to your PATH environment variable.

About second point :

replace rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production by the following commands :

  1. set RAILS_ENV=production
  2. rake db:migrate

About the access denied, you probably specified a wrong password in your config/database.yml.

The new issue is with i18n.

When we issue the command. this is the output:

C:\Program Files\Redmine\apps\redmine>rake db:migrate
(in C:/Program Files/Redmine/apps/redmine)
Missing the i18n 0.4.2 gem. Please `gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n`

We've found an i18n in these folder: C:\Program Files\Redmine\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\i18n-0.4.2 and tried to issue the gem command in many directories, but we always get the same answer:

C:\Program Files\Redmine\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems>gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n
ERROR:  could not find gem i18n locally or in a repository

How do we proceed ?
Nick.

There may be a problem with your ruby setup.

What's the result of gem environment command ?

You have 2 bitnami stacks installed, don't you ?

You should replace all "C:\Program Files\RedmineStack" in your PATH env var with the new "C:\Program Files\Redmine".
