Infamous 3.5.0b Upgrade issues

[Elrik]

Hey All,

I have a major problem. I have a 350b (Open Source) install and finally need to upgrade.
I am not a programmer.

What I have…
MySQL - 4.1.18-standard
phpMyAdmin - 2.8.0.4
Fedora Core 2 – with numerous updates and upgrades.


What I have done…
I tried the upgrade patch SugarSuite-Patch-3.5.0b.zip

And got this error…
The uploaded file is not compatible with the current version (3.5.0b) of Sugar.

I found the “Upgrading to Sugar Suite 3.5.1” and the files to upgrade the MySQL.

I have actually check marked the order as I went through it

When I attempt to update the MySQL (running the query from within PHPmyAdmin) I get errors. As the instructions say I run them in order.


When I run “2.0.x-2.5_open_db_upgrade.sql” file
Error
SQL query:
-- --------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Table structure for table `users_feeds`
--
CREATE TABLE `users_feeds` (
`user_id` char( 36 ) NOT NULL default '',
`feed_id` char( 36 ) NOT NULL default '',
`rank` int( 11 ) NOT NULL default '0',
`deleted` tinyint( 1 ) NOT NULL default '0',
KEY `idx_user_id` ( `user_id` , `feed_id` )
) TYPE = MYISAM ;
MySQL said:
#1050 - Table 'users_feeds' already exists


When I run “2.5-2.5.1_open_db_upgrade.sql”

Error
SQL query:
-- $Id: 2.5-2.5.1_open_db_upgrade.sql,v 1.3 2005/04/07 22:56:48 bob Exp $
ALTER TABLE bugs ADD `fixed_in_release` varchar( 255 ) DEFAULT NULL AFTER `type` ;
MySQL said:
#1060 - Duplicate column name 'fixed_in_release'

As I see it those are the two most important sql upgrades.

At this point I am not all that certain what I am doing wrong.

Thanks!

Download the 3.5.0c patch and use the upgrade wizard to install. Then you should be able to use the upgrade scripts from three to get to the newest version. You will need to upgrade incrementally to th emost recent release.

Here are the patches:
