Torben,

Mmm, it's unavailable again (I'll keep trying). And yes, backup is our friend 😊

I'll try to do it this weekend. Thanks so much for your useful and quick help

Cheers,
Cesáreo

Try this procedure:

https://openacs.org/doc/upgrade-5-0-dot.html

YOu need to do two upgrade due to database compatibility.

Since you are on 5.1 with postgresql 7.x you can upgrade to 5.2. THen upgrade your database to 8.1. Then upgrade OpenACS to 5.5 and finally upgrade your database to 8.3.

Hi Dave

I think that with 8.1 (I had read compatibility matrix) should work. I thought repository come from CVS (automatic upgrade) but you are right, I have to pass trough 8.2 (to get 8.4)

I'll try, then:

- Upgrade to 5.2 (But repository is not working yet)
- Dump DB from pg7.4 (export database)
- Import DB to pg 8.1 (installed previusly)
- Test Oacs 5.2 with postgres 8.1
- Upgrade to oacs 5.5
- Test Oacs 5.5 with postgres 8.3 (actually I'll try 8.4)
- Test Oacs 5.5 with aolserver 5.5

I'll post here my notes and experience

Thanks

I don't think repository is what you want.

You should probably check out from CVS.

The matrix says pg-8.3 for openacs 5.5... while pg 8.4 might work, 8.3 is -known- to work. Dunno about lately, but consider that there may be a reason why pg 8.4 is not mentioned yet.

Hi!

The problem with the respository was with the URL of /acs/admin/install ...:

https://www.misite.com/acs-admin/install/install?repository_url=http%3a%2f%2fopenacs.org%2frepository%2f5-1%2f&upgrade_p=1

This gives an Server Error because there is no www.openacs.org/repository/5-1/. I had to change 5-1 by 5-2

So the right URL is:

https://www.misite.com/acs-admin/install/install?repository_url=http%3a%2f%2fopenacs.org%2frepository%2f5-2%2f&upgrade_p=1

And it works

Cheers
