Database not found error while Upgrading from 4.5.0 to 4.5.1
I'm trying to upgrade my umbraco instalation from 4.5.0 to 4.5.1. I pass the same connection string as in earlier version but i receive fallowing error:
----Database not found! Please check that the information in the "connection string" of the ?web.config? file is correct.
To proceed, please edit the "web.config" file (using Visual Studio or your favourite text editor), scroll to the bottom, add the connection string for your database in the key named "umbracoDbDSN" and save the file.
Click the retry button when done. More information on editing web.config here. -----
If you have just copied over your solution with the new version this has likely wiped out your previous web.config.
To resolve:
- hopefully you have a backup before the upgrade
- copy back your old web.config file
- run the installer /install/default.aspx
if you don't have a backup then run the installer and re-enter your conenction details. And if you had made any updates (e.g. added packages) that would have affected the web.config you will need to fix these manually.
Hmm. I'm having the same issue on both my local box and some 4.5 instances out on a test server....all running against MySQL dbs. I left my original web.configs but Umbraco is unable to find the database. I'm using the .NET 3.5 4.5.1 download.
Wen i manually changed <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="4.5.0" /> to 4.5.1 it works fine but i don't now if upgrade is completed successfully. It is somewhere manual upgrade guide?
Issue logged on Codeplex. I'll see if I can submit a patch for it.
Edit: Patch number 6453. Turns out MySqlInstaller.cs hadn't been updated to specify Version4_1 as it's schema, was still running Version4. As a result, CurrentVersion = Version4_1, VersionToInstall = Version4. Subsequently CanUpgrade = false, IsEmpty = false so it can't upgrade and can't install a blank DB, hence, fail and error. Patch tested to work on Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS7.5 Integrated mode, .NET 3.5, have upgraded my sites with this today.
I think Umbraco is the best Open Source project in the world and this forum is without a doubt the most friendly and active foum on the web and the developers around Umbraco is fantastic. BUT, and I must add a but to that sentence; when it comes to new versions of Umbraco theres always problems with MySQL. For us with no other option than MySQL this is quite frustrating.
I dont know if I am the only one with problem upgrading to 4.5 from 4.x when it comes to the media section for example. The recycle bin was not implemented in the database which caused the tree to crash. This bug occured in the 4.5, 4.5.1 and the 4.5.2.
How big is this problem? Can this release be considered fully stable when its not possible to upgrade an existring MySql installation? Would be interesting to know how many installations is running on MySQL.
Have you reported this on Codeplex as well! It can be frustrating, I agree, but making sure to report this on Codeplex makes the core team aware of the issue...
That script is giving me an errorDuplicate entry '-21' for key 'PRIMARY'
@froad...I agree. I started using vistadb as it was easy to implement and backup, vistadb now a gonner. Some of the hosts I work with make restoring MS SQL a pain and we all know that MySQL is easy so ongoing support for MySQL would be great.

Not sure what is going on.
I've copied only /bin /install /umbraco /umbraco_client. I did not replaced my old web.config
Wen i manually changed <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="4.5.0" /> to 4.5.1 it works fine but i don't now if upgrade is completed successfully. It is somewhere manual upgrade guide?
Yes...I did the same. Hopefully there are no db changes because those would be missed using this approach.

Ben,
I'm now getting this error when upgrading from 4.5.1 to 4.5.2. Could it be the same problem?
Hi Paul, it's more than likely. Only way round it is to run the DB update script manually and change your version number to 4.5.2 in the web.config.
Best,
Benjamin
Thanks for that - where do I find the update script?
Diddo that....I can't find the update script either. Still looks like a bug in the 4.5.2 for both .NET 4 version and .Net 3.5 version for MySQL.
Thanks
Eric

Yes. I reported this here.
And after that there is an issue here reported by ben_a that is more detailed.
Hi guys,
The dabatase upgrade script is here for upgrade from 4.0.x to 4.5.x.
Re stability, I submitted a patch for the problem, but from the information on Codeplex it's not in the 4.5.2 release.
Best,
Benjamin
