[Rt-devel] Problems updating to RT 3.8.0

[Tim Cutts]

I must be missing something obvious, but I'm trying to set up a test  
RT instance where I can practice what I'm going to do with my upgrade  
procedure (from RT 3.4.2).

So far, I've built a brand new RT 3.8.0 installation, which works  
fine.  My plan, at this stage, was going to be to drop the RT  
database, load a database dump from my production instance, and then  
apply the patches as described in the README and UPGRADING.mysql  
files.  My understanding is that I need to apply the schema patches in  
etc/upgrade first, and then apply the mysql 4.0-4.1 patch, correct?

The problem is I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle.  With my  
current directory the location in which I unpacked the RT 3.8 tarball,  
I try to apply the 3.5.1 patch, which is the lowest number higher than  
the current RT version I'm using, and I get this:

# /itch/rt-3.8.0/sbin/rt-setup-database --action schema --datadir etc/ 
upgrade/3.5.1
In order to create or update your RT database, this script needs to  
connect to your  mysql instance on localhost as rtuser
Please specify that user's database password below. If the user has no  
database
password, just press return.

Password:
Working with:
Type:	mysql
Host:	localhost
Name:	rtdb
User:	rtuser
DBA:	rtuser
Now populating database schema.
Couldn't finish 'schema' step.

ERROR: Couldn't find schema file(s) '*'

There doesn't seem to be anything except a file called 'content' in  
that etc/upgrade/3.5.1 - is that correct?

Thanks for your help, I feel like I must have missed something really  
obvious here...
