Jevents migration script wont work: Invalid argument error

[ws101a]

Hello there,

I was wondering if anyone can help me with my jevents migration. I migrated from Joomla 1.5 to 1.7 using jupdate, and then from 1.7 to 2.5 with the native joomla updater.

I am trying to run the migration script as I have a lot of events on my calendar, but its not having any of it.

When i go to www.mysite.com/upgradejevents.php, it spits out:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/mysite/public_html/new/upgradejevents.php on line 132
migrated categories
migrated main tables
updated category references
reset access levels
migrated user permissions

I dont know how to deal with this as Im not deeply technical. I have followed the instructions exactly on the download page. The tables for the two joomla installs are in the same database so its not permissions. My folder is jupgrade, so "define("NEWSITEPATH", "jupgrade");" on line 11 is correct. I am logged into my 2.5 installation as a super admin. I have deleted them empty jevents tables used in the migrated joomla site.

Would massively appreciate any help.

If this fails, is it possible to migrate the tables manually - is there any changes in structure that would make this very time consuming?

Hello,

I suspect that you have error reporting higher than it needs to be..

But according to the results it has completed ok? but has it not?

Thanks for the reply, Tony.

No, it didnt migrate the old Joomla 1.5 tables over.

The error I mentioned actually only happens if I run updatejevents.php if I haven't deleted the new tables in my Joomla 2.5 installation. The error I get when I have deleted the tables as per the instructions is actually:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/mysite/public_html/new/upgradejevents.php on line 132
migrated categories
migrated main tables
updated category references

then there is a Joomla style error page - the table with the red tableheader cell, which says:

500 - Table mysite_dbname.j17_jevents_icsfile' doesn't exist SQL=UPDATE j17_jevents_icsfile set access=access+1

When I go back into jevents on my 2.5 installation, it says "Database Table Setup Was Required" and it has recreated the empty tables.

Hello,

Ok, so you removed all the jev_ tables in you Joomla 2.5 install? you placed the upgradejevents.php in your Joomla 1.5 Directory?

You logged into the administration Area of Joomla 2.5?

Then opened up the upgradejevents.php in a new tab?

And it did not migrate and actually showed the error you are suggesting?

Hi Tony, yes that is correct.
I deleted all 10 jevents tables. There were 8 starting with j17_jevents_..., and 2 starting with j17_jev_...
I was logged into the 2.5 installation as a Super Admin, and I opened upgradejevents.php in a new tab. It then shows the error I mentioned above. The two most informative parts of the error I think are:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/mysite/public_html/new/upgradejevents.php on line 132

500 - Table mysite_dbname.j17_jevents_icsfile' doesn't exist SQL=UPDATE j17_jevents_icsfile set access=access+1

but I don't really understand what they are telling me or how to fix it.

The site I am trying to upgrade is in a sub directory of the domain. My Joomla 1.5 installation is in www.mysite.com/new, and my Joomla 2.5 installation is in www.mysite.com/new/jupgrade. That wouldnt be the cause would it?

[Tonyp]

Possibly.. Can you try:

/new/jupgrade

Hmm...that wasn't it...now its looking in "new" twice. I get:

Warning: require_once(/home/mysite/public_html/new/new/jupgrade/includes/defines.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/public_html/new/upgradejevents.php on line 40

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/mysite/public_html/new/new/jupgrade/includes/defines.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mysite/public_html/new/upgradejevents.php on line 40

I am stumped. Should I try to migrate the tables manually?

the upgradejevnets script needs to be in the old Joomla 1.5 folder - I think you have it in the joomla 2.5 folder.

I have the same issue... What was the solution to this problem ?
