[ckan-dev] problems upgrading to CKAN 2.2

[Hildegard Gerlach]

Dear all,

thanks to all for the info.

To answer Adria's question: No, I didn't have any harvesters running 
when I did the upgrade last time.
I am not sure if it could have been a problem that I didn't stop the 
httpd service and I had left the plugins for the extensions in the 
configuration file.

What I did now is:
stop httpd, disable plugins for extensions in the configuration file
create a clean database, import (paster db load) my latest db dump file 
from 28 January just before the upgrade.
This already adds the new database fields as in version 2.2, i.e. the 
first 4 commands from here.
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/blob/master/ckan/migration/versions/069_resource_url_and_metadata_modified.py#L22

Is this supposed to be so ?
The metadata_modified is empty at this stage. I then executed all the 
update commands and the metadata_modified fields are filled.

After that I can rebuild the search-index and CKAN works !

I propose to do the same thing again but using the paster db upgrade 
after loading the database to see if it happens again.

Hilde
