Support / Re: Upgrade to AbanteCart 1.4.2 Fails with SQL Syntax Error on DROP INDEX
« on: June 30, 2025, 08:02:03 AM »Thank you for the response earlier.
Just following up on this issue regarding the failed upgrade to v1.4.2 due to the DROP INDEX IF EXISTS syntax. As mentioned, our MySQL server version is 8.0.38, which supports this syntax yet the upgrade still fails with the SQL error referencing:
DROP INDEX IF EXISTS `ab_lang_definition_idx` ON `ab_language_definitions`
1. open phpMyAdmin and run this queries:
Code: [Select]
create index `ab_lang_definition_idx` on `ab_language_definitions` (language_value(500));
create index `ab_settings_idx` on `ab_settings` (value(500));
2. run upgrade process in admin with key abantecart_upgrade_142
