<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hello,<br><br>With the hope of solving the DB upgrade issue, I changed strategy by moving from version to version instead of jumping directly from 2.0.2 to 2.4.0. Therefore I am trying first to upgrade from 2.0.2 to 2.2.2.<br><br></div>I used the git repo and checked out the Release-2-2-2 tag as the link from the wiki (<a href="http://public.kitware.com/Wiki/CDash:Installation#Previous_versions_of_CDash">http://public.kitware.com/Wiki/CDash:Installation#Previous_versions_of_CDash</a>) to CDash-2.2.0.zip is not a valid link: <a href="http://www.cdash.org/download/CDash-2.0.2.zip">http://www.cdash.org/download/CDash-2.0.2.zip</a><br><br></div>First, I moved back to 2.0.2 (stopped apache, restored my saved DB, change the CDash symlink to point back to CDash-2.0.2 and restarted apache). CDash 2.0.2 is working fine, I can see some old submissions and my subprojects are listed properly.<br><br></div>Then I attempted to move to 2.2.2. The CDash link opened properly with the message about the DB being from a previous version. I was able to log as admin and started performing the DB upgrade. At this point I got the following error message on the admin page in red:<br><br>"Your rss directory is not writable, make sure that the web process can write into the directory."<br><br><div>I checked that the CDash-2.2.2 hierarchy is entirely owned by the user www-data user and the group www-data. The www-data user has read and write access to the entire hierarchy. I don't see any rss directory in the hierarchy anyway.<br><br></div><div>Where should I look for this rss directory?<br><br></div><div>Best,<br><br>--<br></div><div>François Bertel<br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 9:40 PM, François Bertel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fbopensource@gmail.com" target="_blank">fbopensource@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I don't think I have a valid state yet:<br><br>The main CDash page lists 0 project.

I was able to go the maintenance page and clicked on the push button at the bottom "Upgrade CDash" . Now the CDash maintenance page says:<br><b>Current CDash database schema: </b>2.5<br><div id="m_-1480211191873360319m_-4295532130753079704gmail-Upgrade-Tables-Status">Upgrading tables: <img src="http://xanth.home/CDash/img/check.gif"></div><div id="m_-1480211191873360319m_-4295532130753079704gmail-Upgrade-2-6-Status">Applying 2.6 patches: <img src="http://xanth.home/CDash/img/check.gif"></div><br><div id="m_-1480211191873360319m_-4295532130753079704gmail-DoneStatus"><b>CDash Upgrade Successful.<br><br></b></div><div id="m_-1480211191873360319m_-4295532130753079704gmail-DoneStatus">5. However, if I go back again the CDash homepage, I have the same red message: "The current database schema doesn't match the version of CDash

Each time a different version number. That could explain why I am still seeing this message. I did not find anything new the apache2 log this time. Any idea?<br></div><div id="m_-1480211191873360319m_-4295532130753079704gmail-DoneStatus"><b><br></b></div></div><div><br></div><div>Best,<br><br>--<br></div><div>François Bertel<br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
