Upgrading from 4.2.0 > 4.4.0

I’m trying to upgrade from 4.2.0 > 4.4.0 on Ubuntu Server 15.10 and have
been running into some snags. The first was that I had "ExternalAuthId"
with values in my RT4 database, as I was using that plug-in. Once I dropped
that table I was able to continue upgrading. However, my upgrade has
stalled at the following:

Upgrade from 4.3.12 to 4.3.13 (Incomplete) Fri Feb 26 08:31:50 2016 4.4.0
Schema updates from /tmp/rt-4.4.0/etc/upgrade/4.3.13 (Incomplete) Fri Feb
26 08:31:50 2016 4.4.0

I get the following error when running “make upgrade-database:”

Processing 4.3.13Now populating database schema.[16494] [Fri Feb 26
16:48:54 2016] [critical]: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Can’t DROP

Listing the Tables in my RT4 database doesn’t show any such table, nor does
listing all rows in each column. I assume the error is because
IssuerStatement doesn’t exist, so it fails. However, I am completely
clueless to this reference. Any help on this issue would be greatly
appreciated, as I have another RT server at another School that will have
the same issue. Thanks!

However, my upgrade has stalled at the following:

Using something like : update users set externalauthid=null where
externalauthid is not null should do the trick. Don’t drop the users table.
I just did a test upgrade from 4.0.23 to 4.4.0 and we’re using
ExternalAuth too.
For those interested: we also use AssetTracker and I migrated all its
assets to the shine new RT::Assets :slight_smile:
Got a question about something related but will post that in a new thread.

Thanks, Joop. I’ll restore my 4.2 database backup and run the following SQL
command on the database:

UPDATE users SET ExternalAuthID=null WHERE ExternalAuthId IS NOT null;

MySQL isn’t my strongest set of skills, but that is how I am understanding
your post. Thanks a lot for the quick response!

No w I am getting the following error when upgrading, after using the
UPDATE command listed below. This only occurs when upgrading from 4.3.9 to
4.3.10. Any further advice would be much appreciated!

That suggests that you have been using the Assets extension in 4.2.
I didn’t get that error when upgrading from 4.0.23 to 4.4, besides that
, I’m using postgres as a db backend but that shouldn’t matter.

PS: its 23:20 for me so time to get some sleep :slight_smile:

I’ve attached my RT_SiteConfig to this email. I’m not using the Assets
extension, which is mind-boggling. All I’d used was the LDAP extension,
which you’ll see is commented out. This is driving me crazy, as it’s the
last hurdle before I can roll out my pilot program.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
