Re: [EP-tech] Accidental epadmin upgrade

:))

That makes sense. especially as the database schema version (the thing that really changes when you run epadmin upgrade hasn't actually changed for fair few code upgrades).

Glad you got it sorted... panic over!

Hi Rory, Alan,

I've fixed it! Or it wasn't really broken. Basically I am a total fool.

I've just typed out an email with what you asked and realised I'd done something stupid.

In my panic after using upgrade instead of update I forgot that I'd restarted the server which had taken account of the new field eprint_fields.pl which hadn't been added to the database so it was throwing a wobbler.

Thank you for your help and my deepest apologies for the unnecessary request for help.

James

Hi James,

Any clues in your error logs as to why those certain functions are acting up?

The epadmin upgrade will upgrade the database after you upgrade the code. At the moment it sounds like you have done one without the other?

I *think* that epadmin --version will tell you what the database things it is on. Have a look in perl_lib/EPrints/SystemSettings.pm to see what version the code is on.

Hi Alan,

I'm supposed to be on 3.3.14.

In my current slightly panicked state I can't work out how to see the actual version that it THINKS is installed.

My assumption is some vital file(s) has/have been altered in the upgrade command and the link is broken.

Thanks,
James

Not that I have any real help for you, but what version were you on / are you on now?   (/cgi/counter working?)

And none of the abstracts appear to work when I navigate to them.

Hi All,

 

I was just attempting to add a new field to the EPrints database using:

 

epadmin upgrade uolrepo

 

when I meant to use:

 

epadmin update uolrepo

 

The review appears to be empty and some items on the home page aren't there (recent released texts" etc.

 

Can I revert this or am I making a call to our computing services department?

 

Thanks,

James
