I have previously tried to upgrade from 1.4.2 to versions of 1.5. It has never worked. I tried upgrading to 1.5.3 last week and totally broke my installation. Someone suggested that I try to incrementally upgrade.
First, I created a new installation of 1.4.2 on my server. With that installation, I have managed to successfully upgrade from 1.4.2 to 1.5 and to 1.5.1 with no errors. The database is of course empty
So I thought I would try on my working installation. Started with a fresh, working 1.4.2 and just now tried to go to 1.5. I get the same error as others, and that I've mentioned:
first that og_template_parameters already exists, so I delete that table (it's empty) from the database), then that og_gs_borderStyles already exists, so I delete that ... and now I get "# Failed to execute DB schema transformations. MySQL said: Duplicate column name 'cc'
# Error upgrading to version 1.5"
And I ask again, what column is this referring to??
You can see the results of this fiasco here:

Now, since I have been able to upgrade my new installation, is there a way that I can import my working data into this new installation???

Another issue that I am having is in my current installation (well before it broke again), I click on Notes on the dashboard and see:
but on my brand new installation I don't have this problem!
In the same browser (Firefox)

I have begun a trial with FengOffice. The only thing I don't like is that I won't have the backups on my computer. And I don't want to send clients off my website. I love having OpenGoo when it works, but I really hate the upgrade process. For now I am going to go back to 1.4.2.
