Re: [otrs] Fw: perl migration script help

Hiya, Thanks a million for your reply.. I'm still having a problem and I suspect it is to do with something else. Here is what I input into MySQL Query Browser, logged in as root to otrs: use otrs; source "C:\Program Files\OTRS\OTRS\scripts\DBUpdate-to-2.4.pl"; and this is what I get no matter what I type in.. 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 "'C:\Program Files\OTRS\OTRS\scripts\DBUpdate-to-2.4.pl'" at line 1 I have tried a couple of variations on the code but still no luck :( Emily From: Rory To: "User questions and discussions about OTRS." Date: 11/09/2009 14:45 Subject: Re: [otrs] Fw: perl migration script help Sent by: otrs-bounces@otrs.org Hi, Yes, $HOME_OTRS should be the full path to the OTRS directory. On my windows machine this is C:\Program Files\OTRS\OTRS You could either use quotation marks around the entire path e.g. source "C:\Program Files\OTRS\OTRS\scripts\DBUpdate-to-2.4.mysql.sql"; The perl script should run just fine as you have to have a perl interpreter to run otrs in the first place. I'm not sure if it will work on Windows tho as I think the upgrade scripts were written for Linux based machines.

Sorry, just bumping this... really need the help! ________________________________

Hiya,

Sorry I'm doing this on an XP box just to test the upgrade process...

prod box is on Windows Server 2003.

I am using MySQL Query Browser to run these scripts, I log into it using

root, and then I can browse to the actual SQL script to run that and that is ok...

But as far as the Perl script goes, I don't know what to do with that as

MySQL Query Browser won't run Perl... and I have no Perl experience so am really not sure how to go about it!

On a side... below where you write source

$HOME_OTRS/scripts/DBUpdate-to-2.4.mysql.sql; do you mean me to paste that directly into the browser or do I amend $HOME_OTRS to the actual path, and if so, what it the best way to write this, i.e, the 'program files' bit?

Apologies for my silly questions and thanks.

Emily

Hey,

just login into your mysql as 'root' and then do the following.

use otrs;

source $HOME_OTRS/scripts/DBUpdate-to-2.4.mysql.sql;

source $HOME_OTRS/scripts/DBUpdate-to-2.4.pl; Here you´ll get some error´s just ignore them and go on with the

following command.

source $HOME_OTRS/scripts/DBUpdate-to-2.4-post.mysql.sql;

Then you can quit from mysql and restart the services. Now just login

into your OTRS System with an administrators account, go to the Admin panel and click on the sysconfig.

Have fun ;)

Hello!

I am trying to upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.4.3, and I'm a bit lost on what to do for running the perl migration script

http://faq.otrs.org/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQ&Subaction=Print&Category...

I have MySQL Tools installed and so have used MySQL Admin to backup and

restore, and MySQL Query Browser to run the first upgrade script (DBUpdate-to-2.4.mysql.sql ). I am not sure how to run the Perl migration script, can someone please give me a couple of pointers?

Thanks in advance
