Upgrade from version 4 point something point something. I would be happy to provide screenshot. I did not see place to upload. How do I add screenshot

Maybe this will work?

Did you use the auto upgrade feature?

K you re looking for more info but I really don't know what to add?
I was using version 4.X.X and the auto upgrade didn't work because it said my version was too old to auto upgrade reliable and to do it manual.
So I downloaded the latest stable version 6 point whatever point whatever and FTP'd it over.
Then I ran the install and this is the result.
I am not sure how to post a full screen because it doesn't all fit on one screen. I can post multiple screens with everything if you think that would help?

Hi
I imagine the database changes are significant and the new install can't cope?
Can you try setting up a new database to see id that works and then maybe update the database with data from the older one.
Alternatively you could try an incremental update, say to 5.2 and see if that works. I think I had a similar issue years ago and had to update the database bit by bit.
I imagine though that others with a better grasp will want to fix this from a straight upgrade

If I may ask, did you make a backup of your database before the upgrade?
From the screenshot / snippet you posted it seems that your database table evo_hitlog
does not have a column named hit_blog_ID
. The upgrade is trying to change the column name to hit_coll_ID
.
Can you access your database table and check if it exists manually?

It could be that your table is corrupted try, log in to phpMyAdmin
, select the table, evo_hitlog
under the Operations tab, then "Repair Table" at the bottom of the list.
You could also log into your blog, go to the system > maintenance section and normalize / repair tables there and then try to upgrade manually again.

You are correct. I can find no hit_blog_ID.
I see a hit_sess_ID and a hot_agent_ID and other hit_xxxxx_IDs, but no hit_blog_ID.
How do I fix? :(
