ProcessMaker Forum | BPM Workflow Simplified

It may not be possible to upgrade your current installation of ProcessMaker to version 1.8 or later.

Please do NOT attempt upgrading ProcessMaker before verifying whether it is possible:

[*] ProcessMaker version 1.8 or later requires MySQL 5.1.6 or higher. If you have an older version of MySQL do NOT upgrade to version 1.8 or later.[/*] [*] The "processmaker upgrade" script in version 1.8 or later expects all its files to in the locations used by the tarballs, rpm, and the [url=http://wiki.processmaker.com/index.php/ProcessMaker_Windows_Installation]new Windows Installer[/url]. If you installed ProcessMaker using the [url=http://wiki.processmaker.com/index.php/ProcessMaker_Windows_Installation_before_1.6-4260]old Windows Installer[/url] (prior to version 1.6-4260), do NOT upgrade to version 1.8 or later.[/*]

I talked to the developer responsible for the "processmaker upgrade" script and he said that he would try to fix it so it could recognize the file paths for the old Windows Installer, but he warned that it might be a while, so please be patient.

[Edit: Changed the required MySQL version from 5.1.37 or higher to 5.1.6 or higher]

Are you saying that it is OK to upgrade Processmaker AFTER upgrading mysql to 5.1.37 or greater?

Hello,

What are the problems with an earlier version of MySQL?

Yes, you can upgrade MySQL. Make a backup of your MySQL databases with mysqldump, then upgrade MySQL, then import your tables. Then do a normal ProcessMaker upgrade. See:

I was told that it has something to do with the ability to create triggers, but it seems that ability should be available since version 5.1.6. I will have to ask one of the developers.

Hi,

Have you an issue about the MySQL version?

I have confirmed that you only need MySQL version 5.1.6 or higher. (Not version 5.1.37) I have updated the wiki documentation.
