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 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 ;)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

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
