Error when configuring database after update

Support
1

When upgrading to the laterst version, and accessing the /setup page when i enter the DataBase credentials i am getting:

Failure
Provide the following information to connect to your database.

And am unable to proceed any further, have checked and double checked the credentials, and they are also as written in the ipconfig file (as it is an upgrade)

Followed the upgrade instructions from the IP Wiki

Please can anyone help?

Thanks,

Rob.

Hey Rob

Can you still log in and use the site?
In this case i would run those upgrades manually.

That means you have to open up your phpMyAdmin and copy/paste the contents of InvoicePlane/application/modules/setup/sql/039_1.6.3.sql at development · InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane · GitHub

It will add those extra fields to the database

Check your ipconfig.php the password should be in quotes:
DB_PASSWORD=InvoicePlaneIsGreat! => DB_PASSWORD='InvoicePlaneIsGreat!'

It’s a but of a tough one, this one.

  • From which InvoicePlane version did you want to upgrade to version 1.6.3?
  • What if you installed a brand new version on that same server?
