Upgrade from 2.5 to 3.0 .. some hints

[Srinivasan Subramanian]

Given that there was no guide for the upgrade, below the (fairly obvious) steps I followed to have 3.0 running:

 

1. Backup existing 2.5 database completely (phpmyadmin – sql script)

2. Created a new database for 3.0

3. Imported only the creation of tables from the sql script provided as part of Scalr 3.0

4. Manually copied the entries required from my 2.5 setup into the 3.0 script.  Be extra careful with the farms / roles and related tables.  The Scalr team seems to have cleaned up a lot of entries so you will find significantly lesser entries than before.  I only copied the entries that were “custom” or “created” by me and did not bother about the rest.

5. Finally imported the data into 3.0

6.  Adjusted config.ini to point to the correct database

7.  Start scalr and voila !

 

@Scalr team: While I did not have much data and was comparatively easier to upgrade, it would be great if some kind of upgrade mechanism is provided later.

Cheers

Is 3.0 officially out now?  Did you have to go through the Download form again to get the new version?

Thanks.

I'm getting the following when trying to add EC2 credentials to an
environment on 3.0:

Failed to verify your EC2 access key and secret key: We encountered an
internal error. Please try again.

Any idea how to fix this?

Weird, this just went away. Looks like the test for the API keys uses
S3 to see if it can be accessed for the keys provided - perhaps S3 was
slow for a few minutes or something.
