Hiya, Thanks a million for your reply.. I'm still having a problem and I suspect it is to do with something else. Here is what I input into MySQL Query Browser, logged in as root to otrs:
use otrs; source "C:\Program Files\OTRS\OTRS\scripts\DBUpdate-to-2.4.pl"; and this is what I get no matter what I type in.. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near "'C:\Program Files\OTRS\OTRS\scripts\DBUpdate-to-2.4.pl'" at line 1 I have tried a couple of variations on the code but still no luck :( Emily From: Rory <rcler...@gmail.com> To: "User questions and discussions about OTRS." <otrs@otrs.org> Date: 11/09/2009 14:45 Subject: Re: [otrs] Fw: perl migration script help Sent by: otrs-boun...@otrs.org Hi, Yes, $HOME_OTRS should be the full path to the OTRS directory. On my windows machine this is C:\Program Files\OTRS\OTRS You could either use quotation marks around the entire path e.g. source "C:\Program Files\OTRS\OTRS\scripts\DBUpdate-to-2.4.mysql.sql"; The perl script should run just fine as you have to have a perl interpreter to run otrs in the first place. I'm not sure if it will work on Windows tho as I think the upgrade scripts were written for Linux based machines.
