I appear to have got beyond that part of the script by trying on an Ubuntu16 machine and passing the host IP address (as reported from ifconfig) to the script

It appear that the script completes but complains about not being able to rename primary keys

  Failed to rename primary keys. You may have to do this yourself.

This is a pre-flight test to see if the migration is possible and it certainly looks like it has got most of the way it needs; I am trying to get my head around the last few steps so that I can be confident that when I take the running server off line to upgrade it's OS & installation that I'll be able to get it running again

Any advice or suggestions would be gratefully received

Hi Richard,

the first output hints at something running in parallel trying to migrate the database. Is the migration script all you perform? You could also append a mysql dump with --no-data set so we can try to reproduce the migration error without providing any actual data to us.

Best

Oliver

Hi Oliver

There should have been nothing else going on; I was running the script on a VM running a fresh install of Ubuntu16.04 created for the purpose

I've attached the no-data dump as you suggested; hopefully there will be some clues there

All the best

Richard

Hi Richard,

could you also provide a dump of the schema_migrations table? That is needed to perform the migrations

you can do that `mysqldump <dbname> schema_migrations > schema_migrations.sql.dump`

Best

Oliver

Hi Oliver 

Hopefully the attached file should be what you need ( I zipped it as there appeared to be a content violation with the dump file)

All the best

• Richard

Hi Richard,

good news and bad news: The migration ran through fine for me with your latest dump attached to the previous one:

  migration SUCCESSFUL!

2.6) Dumping migrated database to openproject-migrated.dump
 Dumped database

Judging from your previous output, it might be that the fulltext migrations somehow fail to run through as they start a second migration run.

I do have an older MySQL dump lying around with data that I can try to perform the migration out. If you have the option to provide us a MySQL dump with (partial) data to try again, feel free to reach out to me personally at o.guenther@openproject.com 

Best

Oliver

Thanks Oliver

It's good to know that it can work!

I tried running the script again a few minutes ago

The script I am using is the one here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opf/openproject/dev/script/migration/migrate-from-pre-8.sh which looks to have its last commit in April - so hopefully that is up to date

Strangely it appeared to get a bit further failing with the following in the console (perhaps being a re-run makes a difference - looking at the text in the terminal it certainly had less to do towards the start of the script?)

Richard, Oliver... I had the same problem.. I managed to get inside the PostgreSQL database being used for the migration and was able to look at the users relation. Turns out that the columns there are named created_at and updated_at rather than (as it is in the MySQL version I was upgrading from) created_on and updated_on.

Looking through the other tables of my current MySQL installation, it seems there is very inconsistent usage: Some tables use created_at... others use created_on... etc.

Just for anyone else who ends up here, and the aforementioned shell script is still not working for the reasons mentioned above, I did manage to work around the problem of the script crashing at the last migration from OP10 > OP11.

What I did was to follow all of the instructions on the page https://www.openproject.org/docs/installation-and-operations/misc/upgrading-older-openproject-versions/. (Do not forget to also check the notes about the possibility of the OP7 Docker instance failing to start, and make the adjustments recommended there if needs be.) The script will run up until the point it tries to migrate from version 10 to version 11. Since as of this writing that was pretty much the last step, I decided to see if the packaged installation would migrate successfully. So basically, here's what I did, but I am not saying that this is the most correct or optimized workaround:

1. Run the migrate-from-pre-8.sh script as far as it will go. Should crash on step 2.5 as indicated by the script, migrating from 10 to 11 (latest version.)
2. Using the tools that come with Docker, log into the the PostgreSQL Docker instance, and dump the database as is to an SQL file. Should be a version 10 database.
3. Log out of the instance. Use the Docker tool docker cp to copy the dump file to your host machine.
4. (Not sure if necessary, but I stopped all the Docker instances at this point. Normally these would be stopped when the script successfully completes.)
5. With a packaged installation of PostgreSQL, use the dump file to create a fresh database.
6. Go get the packaged version of OpenProject. Be sure to select that you will be using existing Postgres installation.
7. As instructed in the packaged installation, run sudo openproject configure which should see the existing data and trigger the migration. *** NOTE: In order to get the migration to run without errors, I had to set the database user as postgres with an appropriate password. This is obviously not ideal. I also tried creating the database as an openproject user (so that openproject would be the owner) in step 4, but this still resulted in errors (possibly different errors... I wasn't paying close attention) in the migration. I'll admit I'm still a bit new to Postgres so if there's a recommendation of how to alter that step properly, I'm open to suggestions. Maybe after the migration, it's okay to change the OP database user back to a different account that has access only to the OpenProject database? What about future migrations?
8. In any case, at this point I have a working installation of OP11 with all of my OP5 data in place.

The version I upgraded to is 11.4.1. I'm not sure why the migration fails for the Docker instance (maybe not running same version 11 in Docker?)

If I need to expand on any details in these steps (Docker, Postgres commands used, etc.) let me know and I can flesh it out a little more.
