[SOLVED]1.9.3 -> 1.9.4.1 on Windows and MySQL 5.5.8

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

[SOLVED]1.9.3 -> 1.9.4.1 on Windows and MySQL 5.5.8

Post by akke »

Hi

We run two pretty big sites on Windows and MySQL 5.5.8. Had to do some manual table creation on module installations because of the 1.9.3 and MySQL 5.5.8 issue.

This is fixed in 1.9.4.1, but in the blog post it's a notice like this:
Note: Those people that are still running a version of CMSMS 1.9.3 or earlier that was installed using MySQL 5.5.x will probably have to re-install. This is probably only related to windows hosts, and most of you have probably already downgraded MySQL. But we just thought we'd put it out there.
What does this mean? How can I keep my content?

Thx!

If you need to run install on an existing site and want to keep all of the content etc. run the install BUT...

ON STEP 5 WHERE IT ASK FOR DATA BASE INFORMATION UNCHECK THE CREATE TABLES AND INSTALL DEFAULT CONTENT

This will install it w/o harming any content or template etc., this is also a good way to clear any path problems when moving a site, always use the install folder from the correct version of your CMSMS install...

Thanks Dr.CSS.

Is nothing changed in the database between these versions, or does the installer only update none content data?
