[Cdash] No builds shown in CDash project page‏‏

[Bob Berger]

Hello Julien,
 
I had the same thought as you about upgrading to the latest version, 1.8.2. I actually tried that first, before I tried just upgrading to 1.2.1. When I upgraded to 1.8.2 several of the CDash pages displayed SQL or PHP warnings and errors. So I restored the database from a backup, and then tried upgrading to 1.2.1 and 1.4.1. As I recounted earlier, that also produced warnings and errors.
 
I could try upgrading to 1.8.2 again, but I have no reason to expect a different outcome.
 
Is there any documentation on the database that might allow me to identify the source of the instability in my database and correct it?
 
My database is 3.05 MB. I would consider sharing it with you.
 
Bob
