Upgrading old Site

[lord OfTheRams]

Hello!

I'm kind of stuck upgrading an old Wagtail Site and could not find much docs about that. The website just outputs some error messages. Seems like some database fields are missing. I ran migrate but it does not find any pending changes. What is the "normal" way o upgrading a site? Just run manage.py - U wagtail? Or should I create a new site and copy the contents? Is it possible to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.4.5 directly?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

You should upgrade one version each time.

Read the Upgrade considerations sections for each version here:

http://docs.wagtail.io/en/latest/releases/index.html

Hope it  helps.

Thanks for your help Daniel! I read the release notes and upgrade considerations. I still get the error:

OperationalError at /admin/

no such column: wagtailcore_site.site_name

I think that means that some migration of the database did not run correctly. Still makemigrations says 'no changes detected'. The site is just a simple blog from the getting started from the docs.

Any idea what the problem could be?

OK, just in case anybody has the same problem. I solved it by deleting the last entries from the django_migrations table and then ran manage.py migrate again.
