Hi. I'm an admin for the NumberFields@home project. I am trying to upgrade from the core release 6_12 version to the latest trunk version. After upgrading, the server status showed the transitioner was not running. I found the following at the end of the transitioner logs:

[2011/10/30 12:10:01] Executing command: transitioner -d 3
2011-10-30 12:10:01.6485 Starting

2011-10-30 12:10:01.6516 [CRITICAL] WU enum error: Error 1054; exiting

So there appears to be a database problem. I think this is related to an error message I received when running tools/upgrade:

performing update update_7_26_2011
Doing query:

alter table batch
add fraction_done double not null,
add nerror_jobs integer not null,
add state integer not null,
add completion_time double not null,
add credit_estimate double not null,
add credit_canonical double not null,
add credit_total double not null,
add name varchar(255) not null,
add app_id integer not null

Failed:
Table 'decics.batch' doesn't exist

performing update update_9_6_2011
Doing query:

alter table user_submit
add create_apps tinyint not null,
add create_app_versions tinyint not null

Failed:
Table 'decics.user_submit' doesn't exist

And there were a few other such failures. So it appears that there are some missing tables in the database. Do I just need to create these on my own, or did I miss a step in the upgrade process? Database administration is not one of my strong suits. Any suggestions on how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Nevermind. I found my problem. I needed to make some manual database upgrades using the db_update.php script. It helps when you actually read the wiki pages.
