Clone/Migrate to new server

[travelbones]

Ok so here it is, I currently built a new Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS for running the new 6.3.x R 2. Corporate Edition. Server runs excellent and I just did a BPR and DRP test on it and I was able to restore the DB dump and the Sugar Backup structure in less than an hour from a fresh install.

Now, I have an older Sugar CE system that is at 5.5 . It has never been updated at all. All of the data the system is currently running with is still in the user environment 24/7 and does not have any down-time available for maintiance or upgrading.

So, what I wanted to do is to "clone" the 5.5 install and install the Sugar 5.5 backup on a clean system and import the old database as it is and have a cloned system in order to upgrade to the newest Community edition without having to worrying about disrupting the existing server. Then I can use the patch in "My Account" downloads to convert the CE to the Corporate Edition that i own licenses for.. This would allow me to be able to have an ubdated database tables that would import to the new Corporate edition. We have tooooooo much data to do data entry.

So, I installed the 5.5 CE backup on the fresh server and did a : sudo mysql -u root -p sugarcrm < sugar.sql
to install the old database that was used by the 5.5 CE system. Basicially, I used the same method I have used for migrating the new versions successfully.

When I run the .php in the browser as: 127.0.0.1/sugar/index.php , I get this message that I cannot figure out:
Sugar CRM 5.5.0 Files May Only Be Used With A Sugar CRM 5.5.0 Database

Now, knowing that this is a fresh mysql load and the only db installed was the db dump from the running 5.5 CE system,..and the SugarCRM is a .zipped backup of the running 5.5 CE I cant understand what the issue is.

There is no log file entries,
the Config.php file points to the correct db,
I am sure it is an easy oversight but need a fresh pair of eyes

thanks

Run the following against the database:
select * from config where category = 'info' and name = 'sugar_version'

And see if that is exactly the same as what is in your root Sugar directory in sugar_version.php. Look for:

 $sugar_version      = '5.5.0'; //<--- This needs to match the database value 
  

If there is a difference then install the matching version of Sugar and try again.
