    Upgrading Umbraco fails [7.1 -> 7.6.1]

    * Reported in the issue tracker * http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-9927

    I'm trying to upgrade an Umbraco 7.1 installation to 7.6.1 (direct upgrade), however - the installer fails due to missing columns in various tables. I made a fresh 7.6.1 install and compared the two databases and found that the upgrade fails to add the following:

    Table UmbracoPropertyTypeGroup: column uniqueID, type: uniqueIdentifier, not null

    Table UmbracoRelationType: column typeUniqueId, type: uniqueIdentifier, not null

    Fixed the steps manually, now I'm getting this error: The database failed to upgrade. ERROR: The database configuration failed with the following message: The index 'IX_umbracoNodeUniqueID' is dependent on column 'uniqueID'. ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN uniqueID failed because one or more objects access this column.

    How do I fix this? Anyone else having this kind of problem?

    Hi Simon,

    Have you followed the upgrade path process? See the following articles which may assist you:

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/setup/upgrading/version-specific

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/setup/upgrading/general

    https://umbraco.com/blog/how-to-diagnose-umbraco-upgrade-problems/

    I would also suggest updating Manually rather than using NuGet (which is a pain in the backside sometimes).

    Regards

    Craig

    Yes, I always consult the docs before upgrading, and doing it manually. (erase /bin, /config, /umbraco, /umbraco_client, copy new files, merge web.config)

    Umbraco HQ is looking into the issue.

    I'm having the same issue after following the upgrade path. Did you get it resolved?

    EDIT: Sorry, just found it on the Issue tracker right after posting - http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-9927

    All good :)No, I'm considering making another attempt at upgrading later this week or in the beginning of the next

    Having the same problem. Trying to upgrade a 7.1.9 install to 7.6.2 because I was getting the horrific GetMedia returning blank data preventing me from from using that version. Now I'm getting this annoying error and I need the website up and running by tomorrow morning. The "joys" of upgrading Umbraco. Sigh.
