How to migrate old databases ie previous to redmine 4.2.0¶
Feature #1237 in redmine version 4.2.0 provided support for two factor authentication.
WRT the database this means that there is a new row in the "settings" table. Without it, you will see the following error after a normal migration from a database older than 4.2.0:
redmine | I, [2022-08-22T12:17:53.213673 #1] INFO -- : Started GET "/" for 999.999.99.999 at 2022-08-22 12:17:53 +0000 redmine | I, [2022-08-22T12:17:53.214458 #1] INFO -- : Processing by WelcomeController#index as HTML redmine | I, [2022-08-22T12:17:53.216785 #1] INFO -- : Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 2ms (ActiveRecord: 0.7ms | Allocations: 1346) redmine | F, [2022-08-22T12:17:53.217337 #1] FATAL -- : redmine | ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (Mysql2::Error: Table 'redmine.settings' doesn't exist):
The following is an example to insert that row in MariaDB:
LOCK TABLES `settings` WRITE; /*!40000 ALTER TABLE `settings` DISABLE KEYS */; INSERT INTO `settings` VALUES (69,'twofa','0','2022-10-05 12:59:05'); /*!40000 ALTER TABLE `settings` ENABLE KEYS */; UNLOCK TABLES;
Firts value (69) and last one (current date) might change in your case.
