Hi Marcus, Thank you for spotting this oversight. We'll update the Readme file. Direct upgrades from older versions of Mahara get increasingly difficult the further the versions are away due to the amount of changes. A stepped upgrade is better.
Great to read though that you are upgrading to a supported version. :-) Cheers Kristina ** Also affects: mahara/19.04 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: mahara/19.10 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: mahara/19.10 Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: mahara/19.10 Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: mahara/19.04 Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: mahara/19.10 Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: mahara/19.04 Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: mahara/19.10 Milestone: None => 19.10.0 ** Changed in: mahara/19.04 Milestone: None => 19.04.1 ** Changed in: mahara/19.04 Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Status in Mahara: In Progress Status in Mahara 19.04 series: In Progress Status in Mahara 19.10 series: In Progress Bug description: OS: RHEL 7 Apache 2.4 PHP (starting from 5.6, upgrading to 7.0 for 19.04). Current Mahara version: 15.10.1. Upgrading to version: 19.04.0. The 19.04 README (https://git.mahara.org/mahara/mahara/blob/19.04_STABLE/README.md) says: "Mahara 19.04 supports direct upgrades from previous Mahara versions 15.04.0 and later." When I run the 19.04.0 upgrade su -s /bin/bash apache -c "/usr/bin/php /srv/www/mahara/19.04.0/htdocs/admin/cli/upgrade.php" It fails with: [WAR] e8 (lib/upgrade.php:87) Must upgrade to 2017031605 (17.04.0 (release tag 17.04.0_RELEASE)) first (you have 2015092912 (15.10.1) Call stack (most recent first): * check_upgrades() at /srv/www/mahara/mahara-19.04.0/htdocs/admin/cli/upgrade.php:40 Must upgrade to 2017031605 (17.04.0 (release tag 17.04.0_RELEASE)) first (you have 2015092912 (15.10.1) So I guess someone should fix the README. Or the code. My vote is for the code. Fewer steps for us. :-) Cheers, Marcus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1830847/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : mahara-contributors@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
