Upgrading to 1.2.11 - no access

Post by Prozac »

Hi!

I am trying to upgrade Mantis from 1.2.10 to 1.2.11.
The initial 1.2.10 installation went without any problems - I followed all recommended instructions: created new admin account and deleted the default one.

Now, I followed all upgrading instructions. Extracted all files to the new ftp directory, copied the config file and all custom files to the new folder.
Then I tried to use the /admin/install.php and got the following error:

Does administrative user have access to the database? ( )

I found several forum posts concerning similar problems but most of them were written a few years ago. There were many different solutions. In one version it was even described as a bug.
Could you please give me the most recent solution.

Regards,
Prozac

I don't know what is causing your problem.

What I can say is, that you do not have to run any script when upgrading from 1.2.10 to 1.2.11 because there where no database schema changes between these two versions.
This is enough to finish your upgrade: Rename your old directory, rename your new directory to your old path, check that MantisBT works, remve your old directory.
Please use Search before posting and read the Manual

Ah, great! Good to know.
Thanks!
