Error When Upgrade-Database from 3.8.1 to 3.8.2

Hi,

New install for RT 4
Centos 6.3 running in OSX Parrallels container (test server)
MySQL 5.1.61
Perl v5.10.1
mod_perl 2.0.4-10
mod_fastcgi-2.4.6

I am in the process of upgrade our RT environment from 3.2.2 to 4.0.7. So far I have been able to upgrade successfully from 3.2.2 to 3.8.1. However, when I run the $ make upgrade-database from 3.8.1 to 3.8.2 I received the following error:

FYI this is my first exposure to RT.

I am in the process of upgrade our RT environment from 3.2.2 to 4.0.7.
So far I have been able to upgrade successfully from 3.2.2 to 3.8.1.
However, when I run the $ make upgrade-database from 3.8.1 to 3.8.2 I
received the following error:

Is there a particular reason that you’re going one upgrade at a time?
We wrote the make upgrade-database command to make running them all
much easier than it ever was in older versions.

In this case, the problem is that RT’s code expects the ACL table to
have a Creator field, but the 3.8.2 upgrade is run before the schema
change. We actually have code to handle this and if you let it just
run from 3.8.1 → 4.0.6 instead of taking single steps, it will
complete correctly.

There’s a bug that it only looks for our special “backcompat” file in
the versions of the upgrade you specified, and we should fix that, but
I’m not sure why you’re running the upgrade in single steps instead of
just letting it go and only revisiting it if something fails?

I’ve filed a bug about this

Hi

I ran the upgrade the first time as you indicated just let it run from 3.2.2 to 4.0.7, and that failed as well. So I went back through the docs and the was a step that stated to stop after 3.8.7.

I ran the upgrade the first time as you indicated just let it run from
3.2.2 to 4.0.7, and that failed as well. So I went back through the
docs and the was a step that stated to stop after 3.8.7.

How did it fail?
3.8.2 isn’t after 3.8.7
3.8.2 wouldn’t fail if it had the backcompat files available.
Please show the failure when you let it run.
