Have managed to upgrade to 4.6.9 now. For anyone else who might be doing this perhaps these steps might help:

  1. Ran the following.

ALTER TABLE civicrm_custom_field ADD COLUMN in_selector tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' COMMENT 'Should the multi-record custom field values be displayed in tab table listing'; UPDATE civicrm_custom_field cf LEFT JOIN civicrm_custom_group cg ON cf.custom_group_id = cg.id SET cf.in_selector = 1 WHERE cg.is_multiple = 1 AND cf.html_type != 'TextArea'; ALTER TABLE civicrm_custom_group CHANGE COLUMN style style varchar(15) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Visual relationship between this form and its parent.';

  1. *** Above good and restarted upgrade, it did things and then stopped with following error: Error: Upgrade DB to 4.5.alpha1: SQL] Error Field Error Value Type DB_Error Code -1 Message DB Error: unknown error Mode 16 UserInfo ALTER TABLE civicrm_custom_field ADD COLUMN in_selector tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' COMMENT 'Should the multi-record custom field values be displayed in tab table listing' [nativecode=1060 ** Duplicate column name 'in_selector'] DebugInfo ALTER TABLE civicrm_custom_field ADD COLUMN in_selector tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' COMMENT 'Should the multi-record custom field values be displayed in tab table listing' [nativecode=1060 ** Duplicate column name 'in_selector']

Commented out code look for CRM-13992 in file /wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Upgrade/Incremental/sql/4.5.alpha1.mysql.tpl

  1. *** Restarted upgrade and got following error: Error: Upgrade DB to 4.5.alpha1: SQL] Error Field Error Value Type DB_Error Code -1 Message DB Error: unknown error Mode 16 UserInfo ALTER TABLE civicrm_contact ADD COLUMN formal_title varchar(64) COMMENT 'Formal (academic or similar) title in front of name.

(Prof., Dr. etc.)' AFTER suffix_id [nativecode=1060 ** Duplicate column name 'formal_title']

  2. * Commented out code and restarted upgrade. Failed a couple of times with duplicates or column not available (previously dropped) so just took this code out of the SQL and restarted upgrade. * It continued upgrading until the following error was encountered

Error: Upgrade DB to 4.6.alpha7] Error Field Error Value Type DB_Error Code -1 Message DB Error: unknown error Mode 16 UserInfo ALTER TABLE civicrm_mailing_abtest ADD COLUMN created_id int unsigned COMMENT 'FK to Contact ID', ADD COLUMN created_date datetime COMMENT 'When was this item created', ADD COLUMN testing_criteria varchar(32) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL, ADD COLUMN winner_criteria varchar(32) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL, ADD CONSTRAINT FK_civicrm_mailing_abtest_created_id FOREIGN KEY (created_id) REFERENCES civicrm_contact(id) ON DELETE SET NULL [nativecode=1060 ** Duplicate column name 'created_id'] DebugInfo ALTER TABLE civicrm_mailing_abtest ADD COLUMN created_id int unsigned COMMENT 'FK to Contact ID', ADD COLUMN created_date datetime COMMENT 'When was this item created', ADD COLUMN testing_criteria varchar(32) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL, ADD COLUMN winner_criteria varchar(32) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL, ADD CONSTRAINT FK_civicrm_mailing_abtest_created_id FOREIGN KEY (created_id) REFERENCES civicrm_contact(id) ON DELETE SET NULL [nativecode=1060 ** Duplicate column name 'created_id']

*** File location for above error shown below: //wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Upgrade/Incremental/sql/4.6.alpha7.mysql.tpl

  1. Comment out all the code for above and restarted upgrade again. [Error: Upgrade DB to 4.6.alpha7] Error Field Error Value Type DB_Error Code -19 Message DB Error: no such field Mode 16 UserInfo UPDATE civicrm_mailing_abtest SET testing_criteria = 'subject' WHERE testing_criteria_id = 1 [nativecode=1054 ** Unknown column 'testing_criteria_id' in 'where clause'] DebugInfo UPDATE civicrm_mailing_abtest SET testing_criteria = 'subject' WHERE testing_criteria_id = 1 [nativecode=1054 ** Unknown column 'testing_criteria_id' in 'where clause']

Found code in upgrade directories and after careful checking commented out relevant pieces as already in place. Restarted and

* Worked and displayed successful upgrade to 4.6.9 screen. However, clicked on CiviCRM icon in Wordpress and it displayed an empty screen. Do the following: 1. Delete files with cached settings. In Wordpress as follows: /wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/templates_c/ /wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/ConfigAndLog/Config.IDS.ini

*** 2. Enter the following URL in your browser to review and update directory paths and base URLs.

I hope you have backups?

It's often better to do such a big upgrade in parts. Go from 4.4.5 to 4.4.21. Then go to 4.6.20 (4.5 can be skipped, have done upgrades from 4.4 to 4.6 quite often). Then go to 4.7.10.

  • I would also recommend that you test your backups on a development server before upgrading the live site.

  • Thanks for tips. Yes restored from my backup twice now successfully. Did upgrade in dev server with success although I may have done an incremental upgrade a year or two back to the then current version. Might see if I can find the incremental versions and try and progress one by one. This is the first time in almost 5 years I have had an issue like this one.
