Upgrade failure

You knew this was coming...

I just attempted the latest upgrade to fix the errors I reported in the previous install. Stalled at 4%. Pretty much as expected.

Dunno what else to say. Hopefully not too much downtime. Do you still have my access details? Can you fix it? Thanks!

Code:

Upgrading to 4.0.0 RC 3
Step 2

Updating data in table: vw_moderator

Use of undefined constant TYPE_BOOLEAN - assumed 'TYPE_BOOLEAN'

I tried out that manual mode instead. it won't go past:

Step 6
Updating data in table: vw_revision

I've clicked "next_batch" a few times, but it isn't playing ball.

Step 6 has to process every page in your wiki. It will only process a small number of pages at a time (probably less than 50) because you server takes a long time to do this. It only processes pages until it detects the script is about to time out, then it reloads the page for a new batch. If you have several thousand wiki pages, this step might have 20 or more batches, but there is no fixed number, as it determines when to start a new batch based on a timer. Other sites, including ones I have tested personally, do finish this step, although most require several batches.

That is working as designed.

The error mentioned in your OP is in a file located here: dbtech/downloads/hooks/userdata_start.php. That is not a VaultWiki file. It looks like it's one of DBTech's mods.

Please report the issue to DBTech. The error in that file is:
Use of undefined constant TYPE_BOOLEAN - assumed 'TYPE_BOOLEAN'
The constant they probably intend to access is named TYPE_BOOL.

Is there any way to check its progress? Something I could see in the database, perhaps? I've pressed that button an awful lot of times.

Right, so it started timing out every time.

So I managed to get it to skip it by going to step=7, and it finished the upgrade process. But step=6 clearly hasn't completed. How serious is that?

step=6 was rebuilding page summaries to remove invalid characters from the previews on search results pages. The summary gets automatically rebuilt anyway whenever you edit a page, so it's not too serious.

However, if your server was still timing out, then again I recommend shortening some of your very long pages as seen in Special:LongPages, since the timeouts will not necessarily be limited to the upgrade process, and there may be more important processes in the future that actually need to finish (like a proposed change to the text storage method).

I'll try to get to that at some point, but that's a lot of work.

I know this upgrade was supposed to fix the gid=x error in group page name titles (I assume it stops it happening with new ones?) but how do I fix existing pages with that issue? I can't find an easy way to directly edit the titles, and if I do so via PHPMYADMIN the page breaks.

Add the following BB-Code to the pages:

Code:

[var]displaytitle|*TITLE WITHOUT GID GOES HERE*[/var]
