Installer cannot proceed unless dvndb is dropped #9888
Labels
Feature: Installer
Type: Suggestion
an idea
User Role: Sysadmin
Installs, upgrades, and configures the system, connects via ssh
What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?
Reinstall Dataverse in the terminal without first dropping the
dvndb
database, which was created through the initial installation.When does this issue occur?
During installer phase i.e. if your Dataverse installer failed somewhere in the process in your first try but it got past creating the database. Then when having fixed the issues and running the installer again, this issue will happen.
What happens?
The terminal writes, that it cannot proceed because an existing database is found.
Then you have to stop installation and manually perform the following to remove the
dvndb
database:psql -U postgres
DROP DATABASE dvndb;
\q
After this you can try to reinstall Dataverse,
To whom does it occur (all users, curators, superusers)?
All system administrators.
What did you expect to happen?
The installer should prompt the user to accept one of following choices: Reuse the existing database, drop existing database or cancel installation.
Which version of Dataverse are you using?
5.14
