Hi Aaron,

Cripes that was quick. Setting the bar a bit high. :-)

That worked. All install steps completed successfully on the upgrade
page.

I got some trouble when I tried to go to a page, but just had to set
date.timezone in php.ini and now all good.

BTW this all took place on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.7
which still ships with an aaaancient Postgres.

I'm handing this test upgrade back to the LMS support people to check
over, but it seems fine to me.

Thanks for the quick turnaround.

Cheers,
Marcus

Bug description:
  Upgrading from 1.5.1 to versions higher than 1.9 (either directly or incrementally by version) fails on Postgres 8.4.
  (And I'm assuming any version of Postgres prior to 9.1.)

  Existing installation of Mahara 1.5.1.
  Run through normal upgrade steps.
  Expected result: Successful upgrade.
  Actual result: upgrade screen reports this error in core upgrade section:

  Could not execute command: UPDATE "artefact" SET path = CONCAT('/', id) WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM "artefact" WHERE path IS NULL AND parent IS NULL LIMIT 200)

  (Why does it say "postgres7 error" above?)

  It looks like it's asking Postgres to use the CONCAT function which, as far as I'm aware, did not exist in Postgres until 9.1. 
  http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/functions-string.html
  http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/functions-string.html

  Mahara explicitly states that it's supported on "PostgreSQL, all
  versions from 8.3" (

  )
