Database upgrade error

Support & Bugs

Hi,

i’m trying to get my Piwik installation running again, which was messed with the update from 1.4 to 1.5.

Actually this is the output when i trigger a database update … does anyone has an idea on this?

The buster column was added back in Piwik 1.2.5. This means, one or more DB update scripts weren’t run. (We know why this might happen, and have already put in a fix in 1.5 going forward.)

Unfortunately, I don’t have an easy answer here to fixing your database.

I would suggest installing Piwik to a new database and then compare the schema to your existing database. Where you spot a difference, look in core/Updates/*.php for the corresponding update script that adds/drops/modifies a table/column/index.
