I forgot to mention what I already did:

- I backed up my /home/geeklog directorio (tar.gz)
- I backed up /var/lib/mysql/database/geeklog*

I imagine I must run something like:

mysql geeklog -u root -p < upgrade_from1.3.5_to_1.3.6
mysql geeklog -u root -p < upgrade_from1.3.6_to_1.3.7

and then unpack the 1.3.7sr2 tar.gz file.

Is that right?

Thanks a lot for your help, guys.

Sorry, I didn't see your last comment because the page was cached. I'm not sure what you need to run from the command line. I don't think you have to do incremental upgrades, but Dirk or another developer would know for sure.

-- Backup your entire database and files
-- Upload 1.3.7sr2 and overwrite your files
-- Use the install script but select upgrade instead of new install

I unpacked the tar.gz file, and modified the config.php and lib-common.php files. I ran the admin/check.php script, obtaining:

>Results: 3 of 4 tests performed: 3 successful, 0 failed.
>Test passed
>Congratulations! Your Geeklog site is set up properly and ready to go.

Then I ran the install.php script and upgraded database from 1.3.5. But when I visit my geeklog site I get:

1054: Unknown column 'photo' in 'field list'

Any idea?

I imagined what happened and did a:

ALTER DATABASE users ADD photo varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL

in pypmyadmin, and now works. Thanks a lot.

(I'm still in doubt about WHY the automatic upgrade failed).

Anyway, thanks all.
