Error While Upgrading from 4.2.1 to 4.2.7
February 12, 2013, 07:09:36 am
I tried upgrading from 4.2.1 to 4.2.7 in a Joomla 2.5.9 environment (PHP 5.3.14 and MySQL 5.0.96) hosted on GoDaddy.

The component installed okay. When I ran the database upgrade script, it bailed because of the new requirement for SUPER privileges. Which GoDaddy does not support in a shared hosting environment.

Anyway, now I am stuck in the "partial upgrade" land and am trying to figure out which way to go. Do I just restore the database from backup? Or is it a better idea to restore the entire joomla/civicrm install? Or is there an easier way to manually run the database update script somehow?

You should:

1. Delete your database entirely
2. Recreate it fresh (thus it's completely empty)
3. Restore its contents from a backup
4. Put back the CiviCRM 4.2.1 code.

I don't think this is possible.
