2.1 beta4 --> Stable Upgrade failure
October 03, 2008, 11:16:34 am
I attempted this revision upgrade quite a few times now, following these directions word-by-word:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Upgrade+to+a+New+Revision+-+Joomla

Just like in my previous attempts to do Beta4-->Beta6 and Beta2-->Beta4 Upgrades my data gets wiped right away.

The line "$civicrmUpgrade = false;" is also present in "admin/civicrm/joomla/configure.php" - so I changed it to true just like in "admin/configure.php" - same result, all Contacts perished.

Is there a way to manually upgrade? Are there database structure changes? Just copying files over (preserving civicrm.settings.php) didn't work for me.

"$civicrmUpgrade = true;" in "admin/configure.php" should work. Not sure why its not working in your case. The other thing you could try is commenting the lines (67-68) -
Quote
    civicrm_source( $sqlPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'civicrm.mysql'     );
    civicrm_source( $sqlPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'civicrm_data.mysql');
which actually do the changes in your db.

So, just make sure:

When I upgrade to the next revision - there are no database structure changes, right?

a) I should Uninstall CIVICRM Component first
b) Install CiviCRM with these lines commented in admin/configure.php

Currently we support only version upgrades. You in your case you will have to uninstall civicrm component and then install the latest release.
