I’m attempting to upgrade RT from 3.8.8 to 4.0.0. I thought I followed
the steps in the README, in the UPGRADE-4.0, and the UPGRADE-3.8 files,
but I’m running in to the following error message:

The line that I’m executing comes from the end of the “make upgrade”
process, which supposedly finished without any problems.
Searching through the archive I see a similar issue that required an
upgrade to Authen::ExternalAuth, but that’s a separate file. Any other
suggestions?
thanks,

I believe your options are:
- Use 4.0.1, not 4.0.0
- Temporarily disable RT::Authen::ExternalAUth in @Plugins until you
upgrade it
- Upgrade RT::Authen::ExternalAuth, since 0.09 works fine with 3.8.8 and
4.0.1

If I do a make upgrade from 4.0.1 on the directory that has 4.0.0, will
that screw up the installation?
Also, RT::Authen::ExternalAUth was not anywhere in the error output
above, which is why I wasn’t sure if it was the same issue or not. I
just came across the ExternalAuth link by searching over the mailing
list archives.

The error is thrown by perl before RT ever has a prayer of throwing a
better error.
It is resolved by running a newer RT, a newer RT-Authen-ExternalAuth
(which is already required for RT4) or possibly by the newest release
of Net::LDAP.
Out of curiousity, why was an old version of RT-Authen-ExternalAuth in
your RT tree? Did you upgrade in-place rather than into a clean
directory?

Yes, this was an upgrade-in-place. I inherited the upgrade from someone
else who did the original install, so I didn’t know what local
customizations had been done and figured that an upgrade would be safer
than a fresh install.
Is this going to be a problem?
I’m noticing some RTFM issues from the database update, namely that it
couldn’t update RTFM because 2.0 was installed. I don’t believe that we
use RTFM at all. Can this error be ignored, or is there a way to nuke
this part of the database so that a fresh install of the most recent
RTFM will work?
thanks,
r.

Please review the top of docs/UPGRADING-4.0 as well as the recent blog
post on upgrading:
Both of which talk about why upgrading into /opt/rt3 is a bad idea.
I’m noticing some RTFM issues from the database update, namely that it
couldn’t update RTFM because 2.0 was installed. I don’t believe that we
use RTFM at all. Can this error be ignored, or is there a way to nuke

You must have some of the RTFM tables but not all of them? That’s
truly weird.
As the upgrading documentation covers, RTFM is now built into RT 4 as
Articles. If you don’t use it, just remove all the RTFM tables before
upgrading.
