Hi, I have backup old v3 “sql.gz” and “files.zip” of an old local installed version. I want to report to v5 VM.
I run “bench --force tmp/db.sql.gz” but seems like there are error message and died.
If I point my browser to 127.0.0.1:8080 I see “Internal Server Error”.
@rmehta We need to skip patches since patches not running in sequence, many v6 patches running when I am migrating to v5 and it gives error error similar to title_field missing
I have run skipped patches after running other patches.
Finally I have successfully migrated v3 to v6 without any error.
One of my new client using v3, I have upgraded it to v6 and it take only two hours, so anyone looking for update erpnext can easily migrate there server.
Steps:
install v4 and restore v3 database
run command bench frappe --latest to execute v4 patches
take v4 latest backup
install v6 and restore v4 database
restore v4 database and run bench migrate to execute v5 and v6 patches.
instead of installing erpnext one can use ubuntu image provided by erpnext, so it will speed up process and one can easily migrate system.
