Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi guys. I had running Mantis 1.0.0rc2 and tried to upgrade it to version 1.0.2. I run the upgrading script and turned my DB to new version. So for some time I had two Mantis instances working with one database -- one code from 1.0.0 and another code from 1.0.2. Then I removed 1.0.0 instance.
Some time later Mantis started to become unstable -- some issues disappeared, some of them were overwritten with other issues.
I rolled back everything to 1.0.0rc2 version with lossing all changes.
I believe the problem is in upgrading DB. Maybe it was my fault to let users work with old code on new DB.
So is there any way to move changes to new DB from old without upgrading DB? Some kind of import script. Actually I am affraid of running upgrading script again on my live database.

I have also upgraded from 1.0.0rc2 to 1.0.2, but the included db upgrade script never worked for me. My solution was to:

1. Backup the database
2. Manually run the SQL commands for all 1.0.0 upgrades (I just looked at the upgrades/1_00_inc.php)
3. Uploaded new mantis code in a new folder on my web server
4. Copied config_inc.php from old mantis folder to new
5. Startet using mantis from the new folder

A week later it still seems stable.
