Migration problem 8.2 to 8.6

G

Guest
Hello,
I did a backup on a Plesk 8.2 and restored it on another server with Plesk 8.6 installed.
The problem is that now the database is corrupt and many columns are missing (since server is expecting a database with 8.6 format).
One error I get is "Unknown column 'traffic_bandwidth' in 'field list'" ("hosting" table) or "Unknown column 'guid' in 'field list'" ("domains" table)

What can I do to fix Plesk 8.6 server?

Thank you
 
Hello,

I'd change the version parameters of the plesk server and force upgrade the plesk to 8.6. That may help.
 
Solved

Hello,
I solved this updating the old server to 8.6 and then generating backup again and restoring it in the server which already had 8.6 installed. Then backup whole database and restore it in the new server to make every table compatible again.

Thanks anyway!!
