[Koha] Upgrading from 3.02.02 (tarball install) to latest (package install)

[Steven Nickerson]

Hi everyone,

   I'm managing an older, running 3.02.02 install that was done via tarball
install and I'd like to both move to the package install and upgrade to the
latest 3.14.x version.  I've tried following the instructions at
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Moving_an_installation_from_a_regular_in
stall_to_the_Debian_packages  to migrate from tarball to package installs
but find that my DB schema in MySQL doesn't seem to follow the current
naming "standards" and is named 'kohadb' instead of 'koha_<sitename>'.  So,
when I run the 'koha-create' on the new system the DB schema isn't named the
same as the one contained in the MySQL backup that is restored in the next
step and I therefore don't have any data in the "new" version.  Anyone have
any suggestions on how to resolve this properly?   I also then received
errors during the "sudo koha-upgrade-schema <instancename>" step, but I'm
pretty sure that was because of the issue with the schema names.
 
Sound familiar to anyone (has anyone upgraded from 3.02.02 directly to some
fairly recent version or have most people done "incremental" upgrades along
the way so they didn't have this issue?

 

Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

Steve
