47: Re: 5.0 upgrade experience (response to 45)
Posted by Carl Robert Blesius on 03/21/04 09:32 AM

I put some time aside this weekend to do the 4.6.3 -> 5.0.0 upgrade on my peronal site. I got pretty far (note to anyone else atempting this: look at and use the script -> upgrade with documentation alone does not work at all).

Was able to get through a lot of errors, but not this one: When I try to login (step 8: If you can login, visit /acs-admin/apm and upgrade acs-kernel and acs-service-contract and uncheck the data model scripts) I get a request error and this is was the error.log says:

Suggestions?

This looks like an acs-lang problem. Visit http://yoursite.com/acs-lang/admin/load-catalog-files before loging in for the first time to load the keys.

It is hard to visit /acs-lang/admin/load-catalog-files when I can not login.

I already tried what Robert mentioned above (loading /foo.tcl with lang::catalog::import -locales [list "en_US"] in it).

Just to make sure I removed the "-locales [list "en_US"]" part so it more closely resembles /acs-lang/admin/load-catalog-files and tried it again. No luck, same error on registration.

you could do something like this 
rename _ original_
proc _ {{key {}}} {
  if {[string is space $key]} { 
     return NULL_KEY
  }
  return [original_ $key]
}
in a file like SERVERROOT/tcl/zz-hack.tcl. That should allow you to at least log in.

actually, I guess you would have to handle the substitution variables as well (I should have looked at the proc before I
wrote that I guess).

I know this is a horible security risk, but find out your user_id and login using a page which uses "ad_user_login -forever=0 $user_id" to log you into the system. Maybe this can help your loging in problem.

Thanks, but I aborted the upgrade and restored from backups.

Going to put the two postgres versions up on different ports in parallel so I can tool with it as I have time.

Here is an improved script from Jeff (for posterity) 

rename _ original_
proc _ {{key {}} {vars {}}} {
  if {[string is space $key]} {
    return NULL_KEY
  }
    return [uplevel [list original_ $key $vars]]
}

Round two, coming soon to a forum near you.
