UPGRADING
If you are upgrading from a previous version of vtigercrm first backup all data then follow the instructions for the appropriate version below:
4.2.3:
- No database changes are need if you are using a seccessfull installation.
- If tables were only partially created for you using an earlier version please wipe your database and try with 4.2.4, your problems should be solved.
- To save your current configuration copy the config.php file from your old installation to config.inc.php in the new installation. You'll also have to edit the config file as follows:
- change the following variable names in config.php
from:
$dbconfig =
$dbconfig =
to:
$dbconfig =
$dbconfig =
- If your 4.2.3 installation has previously been upgraded from an earlier release there is one database modification missed in pervious upgrades you will want to make manually:
alter table wordtemplates drop primary key;
alter table wordtemplates change filename filename varchar(100) not null;
alter table wordtemplates add column templateid integer(19) primary key;
4.2.2 (aka 4.2 patch2):

Comments
everything is looks great though, upgrading from a previously release work without a charm <!-- s:) --><img src="{smilies_path}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="smile" /><!-- s:) -->
thanks for your feedback.
1. email notification can be tricky to get right and that error message will come up if anything goes wrong.
- make sure the email settings are configured correctly for both the server (settings->outgoing mail server configuration) and the current user (my account->list mail server)
- ensure the vtiger user who is assigned to the activity (that is the one who will be getting the email) has a valid email address entered in their user settings
- ensure the active vtiger user has a valid email address entered in their user settings
- make sure the activity has a description
- check your vtigercrm.log file for more diagnosing information
2. i'm unsure what the bug is. when i reproduce your steps i don't see anything obviously wrong immediately.
3. this would be ticket #1281, this is probably the solution to your 2nd issue as well.
please feel free to post bugs using the trac ticket system: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://vtiger.fosslabs.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/newticket">http://vtiger.fosslabs.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/newticket</a><!-- m -->
i'm not seeing this.
are you sure you're using the files from 4.2.4 because earlier versions reference vtiger_logger but it's not in this release.
some people were unable to use 4.2.3 because of problems with database creation. most of these issues were resolved with 4.2.4 so i'm suggesting that these people may wish to give vtigercrm another try now.
if you were able to install and use 4.2.3 properly then you should be able to perform a straight upgrade as outlined in the original post without loss of data (as with changes to any program i suggest backing up your database and files first of course).
so:
have there been any consolodations into the source for 424 for these few issues mentioned here??
can we find them all together in the 424 source now...
thanks!
i ask this because i don't have direct access to a shell or other way of executing a server side script on my host. i can only upload files.
thanks.
ps: if i run the v4.2.4 install, will it recognize the v4.2.3 that's already running and just upgrade without causing any conflicts?
i have the problem that l'll get an error message where the quotes-list on the register "quotes" should be displayed:
fatal error: call to a member function on a non-object in ...\include\database\peardatabase.php on line 440
any suggestions?
ps: i use now version 4.2.4 (with the version 4.2.3 everything went well)
