I got this error while upgrading:

The log entry was triggered by a guest (Guests)

The URL of page the error occurred on was https://domain-here.org/admin/upgrade/?controller=upgrade&key=f1e4940614126e9773f110246f2825b1&mr=1&run_anyway=1&_=1783447364740
Type: upgrade_error

Error (1061) Duplicate key name 'index_search_created': addColumnsAndIndexes ["core_search_index",[],[{"type":"key","name":"index_search_created","columns":["index_hidden","index_date_created"],"length":[null,null]}]]

The upgrade went through, though.

I too got this error on my oldest site, but not on 3 other sites. All upgraded from the same previous version.

Manually trying to create the index did not error the first time, but clicking continue after running it re-prompted with the same command to execute and then I got that error because it already existed at that point. I rolled the dice and clicked run Automatically and it went through and re-prompted again, then clicked run Automatically again and it continued the upgrade and finished it.

Not sure how/why that can happen or what is going on under the covers but haven't seen that type of upgrade behavior before. The index must have been missing on the old site and just got detected as part of this upgrade, while all the other sites already had it?

It's a new index for this release. It might have taken a long time to execute which could cause the upgrader to go back to the prompt if it times out.

For me, it went smoothly without any errors.

I did sent an email to support about not able to upgrade (5.0.18 > 5.0.19). Letting anyone who are or might be in similar situation that is on cic.

Upgraded without a hitch. 👌

Is it possible to remove upgrade URL's from Cloudflare's human verification checks?

After confirming I am indeed a human, even if I don't feel like one at this hour, it sends the upgrade process speed to a crawl.

Other than that, nothing broken you will be pleased to know

Upgrade is throwing SQLDatabase error on the Upgrade step, and has taken my site FULLY OFFLINE. As this website is my livelihood, I am quite frustrated and have already heard from multiple subscribers.

The upgrader is throwing this error on the Upgrade step:

"Table 'g321090.upgrade_temp' doesn't exist (1146)"

The failing query is: REPLACE INTO upgrade_temp ( id, upgrade_data, lastaccess ) VALUES ( ?, ?, ? ) — from applications/core/sources/Setup/Upgrade.php line 330.

I have opened a support ticket, but don’t seem to be the only one having this issue. How long is my site going to be cooked for? I cover breaking news and this sucks.

We replied to your ticket 30 minutes ago but haven't had a reply yet. Only you are having this issue right now, we haven't had any other reports.

It looks like your upgrade may have been completed though.

Currently, it's ES8 only.

Does Elasticsearch work with all versions, 8.19.18 for example, or only up to a certain version?

Any 8.x.x version should work, The form will tell you if you're using an unsupported version.

We're preferring OpenSearch right now.

Same thing happened to me.

Awesome release!

Special thanks for fixing this:

#6913 fix rank progress bar
#6995 Fix an issue where searching by titles only returned every post in a topic

Thanks, I see what happened there.

We'll get that fixed.

Is it safe to update, or will there be a new release soon?

Should be good to go

Thanks, it asked to make a bunch of indexes, but all went well.

Great!, we've been looking at performance improvements and there will be more in the next release too.

The index creation was messy and unreliable, but I got there after several attempts (also, the SQL suggested does not work directly with MariaDB).

Since the upgrade, the activity feeds take at least 10-20 seconds to render, hopefully that settles down quickly, because my members are really annoyed 🤣

One thing I would mention, is that we will optimise for mysql rather than for mariadb, so would generally advise on using that if you want the best performance from your site.

Hi All,

absolute amateur forum admin here. We have only the one we look after for ourselves. We've been dutifully hiding the notification for upgrading to v5 until we figured most of the bugs were worked out. Reading this thread, I'm hoping it's at that point.

I'm looking to "plan" the upgrade for next weekend. Only thing is I can't see anywhere in our Admin Panel where I can manually access the upgrade. Where do I go to acces this please?

If you're moving from v4 to v5, you would do this in your Client Area > Manage Purchase: https://invisioncommunity.com/clientarea/

Thanks Ryan. Is this different to past upgrades that normally appear in the admin panel? I thought the notifications give the option to go straight to the upgrade.

Yes, because this is a major upgrade - a lot actually happens behind the scenes as well.

Once you upgrade to 5, you'll be able to upgrade via the Admin CP like normal. Only this one time is it initiated via the client area.

Is there a big diference in performance between Mysql and MariaDB for IOS?

IPS only supports only Mysql 8, or also the last version 9.7?

I'am now using Opensearch 3.7 for activity streams and search.

My users started to complain that now the activity streams have a delay. There are new posts that take some time to appear on the stream, while with mysql it was basically real time.

I found this in the tasks:

It's possible we can change this to every minute? It would not be real time, but it would at least minimize the issue.

If it's impossible for us to change this, i will probably change back to mysql. We prefer to have a search that is less reliable but the activity streams to be real time.
