I am getting the following error while choosing to migrate to new version. After I configure the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION and I choose my old version and installation location. I try to press next I get ERR- unable to data to database server. Invalid sql connection parameters specified.

Since this screen does not have connection information I am assuming it is getting it from the config.inc.php in the previous versions installation dir. C:\Program Files\vtigercrm5\apache\htdocs\vtigerCRM.

When I installed version 5.1 I used the same user name and password as before. However I am still getting this error.

I have since reinstalled 5.0.4 on another machine, and restored by sql backup, then repeated the procedure only to have it happen again.

Is the installation of mysql with 5.1 setting the password to something other then what I specify?


thank you,
brian z

Hi brian,

You are getting this error because you are trying to migrate between two exe installation of the vtigercrm. The mysql details are not correct for the new installation as we are picking the mysql details from the config.inc.php of the old installation and they different for both the installations.

For Migration there are two different ways, either use the migration patch or by using the vtigercrm-5.1.0 source.

In case of Migration using migration patch you will lost your old installation will upgraded to the 510. so by this way you will lost your old installation.
Please Refer: http://wiki.vtiger.com/index.php/vtiger510:Migration#Migration_using_vtiger_CRM_5..2A_to_vtiger_CRM_5.1.0_patch

By this way you can both the installation working on your machine.:
Refer: http://wiki.vtiger.com/index.php/vtiger510:Migration#Migration_using_vtiger_CRM_5.1.0_source

I think it will solve your problem, if you still face any problem please get back to us.

Hi Nitin

I have the same problem as above. Our first installation of vTiger was version 5.0.4, which we installed from the exe file on windows 2003 server. Now I would like to migrate to 5.1.0 in such a way, that 5.0.4 remains, so that we can fall back in case of error. I tried to migrate by dumping the 5.1.0 source in the C:\Program Files\vtigercrm-5.1.0\apache\htdocs\vtigerCRM, but I still get the error as above. Does this mean that I only can migrate by means of the patch?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Regards,

Henk

Hi Henk,

It is possible to have both the installation working, follow the steps,

1. you need to do is download the source of vtigercrm-5.1.0 and extract it in your vtigercrm504 directory, default path is (C:\Program Files\vtigercrm5\apache\htdocs) by creating a new directory (for ex. vtigercrm510)

While extracting make sure that you should not messed up with the 504 source.


2. After this look for you httpd.conf file which you can find in C:\Program Files\vtigercrm5\apache\conf,

3. Open this file and search for DocumentRoot

4. Now change the value of DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/vtigercrm5/apache/htdocs/vtigerCRM" to "C:/Program Files/vtigercrm5/apache/htdocs"

5. after this stop the server and then start the server.

6. Now launch from browser, you will see two different directories in that one is your older vtigercrm504 (named as vtigerCRM) and other one is newly created vtigercrm510 (named as vtigercrm510)

after this for migration follow this link
http://wiki.vtiger.com/index.php/vtiger510:Migration#Migration_using_vtiger_CRM_5.1.0_source

If you still have any doubt, get back to us.

Hi Henk,

Actually i forgot to mention that you also need to change the value of Directory ( default is this <Directory "C:/Program Files/vtigercrm5/apache/htdocs/vtigerCRM"> ) to (<Directory "C:/Program Files/vtigercrm5/apache/htdocs">) in httpd.conf

after this stop the server and then start the server. It will solve out the issue.

If you still have any doubt, get back to us.

Hi Nitin,

Thanks again for your fast replay. I will do so, but in the mean time a tackled the problemm by pointing to the new directory, in which way it started automatically with the migration screen. As far as I can see the migration went well. I received a couple of warnings because of code table 1250, But I am used to that kind of messages. We are in Hungary and we always struggle with code tables 1250 an d UTF8. Informatics are invented by Hungarians (Neumann) but not for Hungarians Very Happy.

We are going to play with the new version. The first looks are exiting and promising. You and your team are doing a great job. We liked the pictures about the celebration. Nice team and good job, whatever critics are given.

May the power be with you.

Henk
