Migrating to 1.7 from 1.6.5

Razuna v2 Legacy Self-Hosted
1

I have a replica of my production 1.6.5 instance and I wish to upgrade it to 1.7. I am following the upgrade guide in the wiki (http://wiki.razuna.com/display/ecp/Upgrade+Guide#UpgradeGuide-MigrateyourexistingRazunadatatothenewRazunainstance). It’s taking a long time to finish restoring the backup from my 1.6.5.

There are about 100,00++ assets stored in raz_images and it seems to be taking along time.

The problem is that there’s no way to determine if the upgrade is complete because it seems to be stuck on that table.

Is there any way to make restore faster ? Also, is there a reliable way to determine that the process is complete or done other than the popup ?

Thanks !

There are a lot of database modifications, so yes it takes a long time. Since your webserver did not get a response it most likely timed out.

There are two ways to check that the upgrade has been done:

  1. Check your server for database activity.
  2. A more accurate way is to check the value of the “dbupdate” in the options table. When it is done it will have the value of “43”.

Another way is to install Rauna 1.7 to a new database, backup the old one with the database provided tools and import into the new 1.7 database.
