In order to upgrade from v3.5 and v3.5.1 to v3.5.2, you must place the imported.txt file in the db directory along with the db files. The imported.txt file is used to identify SQLite databases that have been previously imported into MySQL.

If the imported.txt file is missing from the db directory, you will get the following error message:

NOTICE: Upgrading database to version 2...
NOTICE: Upgrading database to version 3...
FAIL: Update failed because of missing file db/imported.txt. Copy this file to right directory and try again!
FAIL: Database upgrade to version 3 failed
FAIL: MySQL database version is invalid!

To resolve this issue:

  1. Create an empty imported.txt file and enter the full name of the database files (including the .db extension) followed by the word “imported”.

    For example, if your database files were:

    x-formation_sv08003.db
    kubotek_sv08002.db
    actifyd_sv09005.db


    You would create an imported.txt file with the following content:

    x-formation_sv08003.db imported
    kubotek_sv08002.db imported
    actifyd_sv09005.db imported

  2. Save the imported.txt file in the db directory.

    Note: If you do not have any db files to import, create an empty imported.txt file with no content.
The above steps are no longer required after you've upgraded to v3.5.2.
