Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hello!

I am running an old MantisBT installation from a Bitnami VM.

No I installed a new VM with latest Mantis; I exported the old MySQL DB and put it in the new Mantis installation.

When I go the Mantis page it says:

• I have to update the DB; it sends me to admin/install.php but that file does not exist! What can I do??
• I should delete or limit access to "admin" folder, what does this mean?

Thank you very much!

Hello!! I did as you suggested, I downloaded the packaged and added index.php back!

I thought it was missing by error.

Now, the checks says:

Version of MySQL being used is within the Premier Support period (GA + 5 years)
Premier Support for the release of MySQL you are using (5.6.36) ended on 2018-02-05. The release is in its Extended support period, which ends on 2021-02-05. You should upgrade to a newer version of MySQL which is still within its Premier support period to benefit from bug fixes and security patches.

Can you help with this?

Oh no! I copied from the old installation!!

The correct message is:
MySQL Lifecycle and Release Support data availability
Release information for MySQL 8.0 series is not available, unable to perform the lifecycle checks.

This is just a warning when runninhg admin/check/index.php

You have to run admin/install.php to upgrade the DB.

But that's the last thing I did!
Do I have to run it again?

I'll do it tomorrow, thanks!

That confused me.
I thought you copied the admin folder from the old installation, but what you mean is that you copied the warning message.

No, then all should be fine now.

Ok, but why warning for this?

Maybe the wording of the warning is not clear.

Do you understand it, if it's changed to this?

Well, my question is: why warn me if there's nothing I can do?

The warning tells that MantisBT is not able to check the lifecycle.
The administrator gets the warning and should check himself, if the used version is still supported.
