Upgrade 1.0.5 fails September 29, 2015, 06:06:05 am Hello,I'm a newbie and have been developing a forum using Elkarte 1.0.4. Yesterday I followed the upgrade procedure provided on https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/wiki/Update-and-Upgrade but it has failed and my server is no longer functioning.First error was to do with db_last_error.txt - the 1.0.5 expected "db_last_error.txt" while 1.0.4 has installed "db_last_error.php". I corrected that by changing .php to .txt.Now it simply gives the error message "Unknown column 'type' in 'where clause'' and the rest of the page is blank.In future, is it more advisable to install the new version and migrate forum data? If so, where can I instructions for this?Kindly assist

Re: Upgrade 1.0.5 fails Reply #2 – September 29, 2015, 08:11:54 am I feel you used the 1.1 development version.The php => txt change is planned for 1.1 and not for 1.0.5.Usually, the way to "upgrade" from 1.0.x to 1.0.y is to use the package manager, following the instructions at the end of the release announcements: http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=2942.0
