Upgrade 2.08 --> 2.09 -> 2.10

Or how a lamda user looses 2 hours and gets in trouble.



After a total failure 3 weeks ago (early upgrade attempt 2.08 → 2.09) I decided to try the upgrade experience one more time.



During upgrade process 2.08->2.09 I received this error message.

Since I am not using this particular skin I further upgraded to 2.10.



Many problems were encountered using 2.10



Non exhaustive list:

  • Cannot access to Users / User Groups
  • Cannot save a NEW CATEGORY
  • Blocks in CATEGORIES (only) do not display correctly (neither do they in 2.08)
  • Cannot save an Block after editing it



    I was lucky enough to revert succesfully back to 2.08.

    (succesfully? really? time will tell)



    Just my two cents

If you were at 2.0.10, you should have just overwrote your files with fresh 2.0.10 files.

The 208 - 209 upgrade screwed our database as well as leaving residue files etc.



So look out for errors.
