Upgrading from 0.4.6 to newer version

Hey there,

I want to upgrade from 0.4.6 to newer version but I get this Error always:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'baikal.calendarinstances' doesn't exist in /volume1/web/baikal/Core/Frameworks/Flake/Core/Database.php:180

#5 /volume1/web/baikal/html/admin/index.php(92): Flake\Controller\Page->render()
#6 {main}

What can I do?

It's strange that so many people run into this issue. @ByteHamster do you have any clue as to what causes this for people? are the upgrade instructions just bad?

Please note that when upgrading from version 0.4.6 to a newer version, this error occurs. I tested it with version 0.5.1 as well as 0.5.3. I use MariaDB on a Sysnology NAS as my server. Does this database table have to be created during the upgrade?

[ByteHamster]

The upgrade process should create the table automatically. Did you get a screen that prompts for upgrading the database?

You're right 😅, I hadn't read the documentation correctly, now I kept the whole "Specific"-folder and it worked. Now I also see the update screen. Thanks a lot!

@evert I will create an issue template that contains checkboxes for common upgrade problems.

• Do not modify contents of specific directory, keep the whole folder
• Delete everything except specific directory and replace with release zip
• Use correct release zip (error message about composer)

I will also open a PR for the website that contains common upgrade issues.
