Hello, we’re trying to upgrade Publisher Lite 2.11.2 to the latest 3.2.2 and running into errors. After copying over the system and themes folders, we’re first asked for the new license, which I entered, then went to step 2:

Publisher detected 1847 rows to import.
2615 of 1847 entries imported so far. The rest of the installation process may take a few seconds or minutes depending on the number of entries you have. You will be updated on the progress as the entries are imported.

After clicking continue, there’s an exception error right away and then clicking anything mostly anything else in EE brings us back to step 2:

Exception Caught
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table ‘****dbnameredacted*****.exp_publisher_data_field_38’ doesn’t exist:

You might have to revert to the database version before you tried upgrading, then use the build in the next comment. Hopefully it works. Someone else had a similar issue, and I think this build might fix it.

Started clean at 2.11.2 and tried upgrading with 3.2.4.. Initially I got the same exception error, then I re-tried and it said good to go, though still said 2.11.2 on the EE addon list page. I then clicked “update to 3.2.4” and received a “Good to go! Publisher upgrade is complete!”, but I’m stuck on that and can’t logout or click anywhere without being redirected back to saying upgrade complete…

Run these two queries separately, what are the results?

select val from exp_publisher_settings where `key` = 'install_complete' ; 
select val from exp_publisher_settings where `key` = 'migration_complete' ;

Is this a site you can package up and send to me so I can try to replicate this locally? Would need files and sql dump of the working site with 2.11.2 installed. If so, zip it up somewhere (Dropbox or whatever) and post a link in a private message. Make a fresh super admin account for me and share that login too.

install_complete = yes migration_complete = no

I’m seeing if sharing a zip of the site is an option.

Try the build in the next comment. I think I found the issue. The upgrade from 2.x directly to 3.0.0 worked fine, but people upgrading from 2.x to 3.1 or greater didn’t get through the migration process correctly.

Thank you, that worked!

I went ahead and upgraded EE to 6.0.3, but now I’m getting “Unlicensed Add-on: Publisher does not have a valid license.”, maybe due to that dev 3.2.4 version? I tried re-entering our license but still the same…

What license key are you using? Be sure to mark the message as private when you share the key.

Yeah that key is definitely valid. I changed how the license validation works in the newer builds, so it’s possibly a bug with the new code. Try deleting the publisher_last_ping file in your cache directory and see if it resolves it.

no luck, if I delete it, it gets recreated as soon as you navigate anywhere in the EE admin.

I did need to re-save the license, but that seemed to have worked, thanks again.
