Dear All,

Our University is using Mahara 17.04.2, Ubuntu 16.04.3, mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.19.

I tried to upgrade from Version 17.04.2 to 17.10.0 on the same server. I've got some error messages during the upgrade.

We will be really appreciate if someone can tell me if these error messages really matters or not? 

After the upgrade, the system seems work fine. I didn't find any problems yet. But I never got these error message when I did upgrade before. I think it worth to double check with Mahara experts first.

Here's the screenshots of the error message:

Hi Lina,

The errors you are reporting sound like the ones mention in https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1735072 on comment 1

The warnings (if created because of 'deleteartefacts' events in event log) can be ignored as they won't relate to existing artefacts anyway.

We hope to have a patch soon to fix those errors from showing

Cheers

Robert

Dear Robert,

Thanks a lot for your reply. We really appreciate it. Now I feel safe to upgrade Mahara on production server.

Thanks again and I'll be looking forward to the patch.

Best wishes,

Lina
