Hello,

Updating from downloaded package. Several attempts get stuck at Initializing Database.
Why is that happening?

Also, I need to change my license from edrgroup.com to bdirectmktg.com

Thanks,
Dave
Hello David,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. I have helped you to update the site to the latest version. May I know which versions were you upgrading EasyBlog from? The reason I asked is because it looks like there is a missing table column from the site.

I have ran the following query and the installation went ahead smoothly.


ALTER TABLE `#__easyblog_meta` ADD `canonical` TEXT NOT NULL AFTER `description`;

Hi Mark,

Thank you very much for the help. I don't remember the exact version, but I think it was very close to the current one.

Regards,

Dave

Thanks for updating me on this. I suspect that probably one of the much earlier version of v5.x had an issue and the column did not get created. Anyhow, moving forward, the upgrade should be seamless now.

Hi Don,

I believe Mark ran the query mentioned from his earlier reply, then ran the installation again after.

If you are still having difficulties, please start a new thread so we can assist you.
