Upgrade from 6.2 to 6.3 went wrong

**grandfso** · 2012-02-03, 11:48 AM

Hi, by mistake I've extracted all contents from the upgrade file and then uploaded them to the server via FTP overwriting existing files... (no I didn't not use upgrade wizard).
Now when I try to launch the app it says Sugar CRM 6.3.1 Files May Only Be Used With A Sugar CRM 6.3.1 Database.
I have not backed up the file before uploading upgrade files... so here's my question - can I finish the installation manually ? Despite the fact I've messed things up because I simply rushed into the upgrade I am hoping this can be fixed... any help appreciated.

thanks and regards, Grand

I mean you could just go

Code:

UPDATE config  SET 
 value  =  '6.3.1' WHERE category  =  'info' AND name  =  'sugar_version'  LIMIT 1 ;

but that still means that none of the upgrade code has run so there might be alot left to do to make the DB work, you might have missing fields or even tables that would need a repair (from the admin menu) or a hundred other things that the script was supposed to do. So even with the update it might not work that well.

Hello Kenneth, thank you for your response. Does this mean that I won't be able to run the upgrade from admin menu after changing the version value in database ?
I tried to run the sql upgrade file from scripts directory but it can't be run outside sugar... Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help!

thanks and regards, Grand

So Hi, I just did the trick as per your advise. I am trying to run Upgrade wizard, but no success. Since I've got Sugar thinking it's version is 6.3.1, the wizard wouldn't accept the 6.2.x -> 6.3.1 upgrade file... Any ideas how to skip this check ?

thanks in advance... regards, Grand

no, you will not be able to run the upgrade unless you restore your system back to the old version and use the upgrade wizard to upgrade to the next version.

I mean it could be done by an expert but it would take a while, not sure at all what would be entailed is such an upgrade, someone would have to go through and find out what scripts need run and then rewrite them to work.
