ERROR: Upgrade failed

Hi
I’m trying to upgrade my database from ojs2 to ojs3. but I got this error. I found the table " atricle_migration" in my database table. should I drop it or not cuz it has more than 7 columns and 25 row.
By the way I don’t have a backup from before the OJS 3.0 upgrade was attempted and this is the only back up right now.
any advice?
thanks in advance,

Hi @juricks,

It sounds like you tried an upgrade before, and it failed for some reason, and now you’re trying again. It is unfortunate that you don’t have a backup from before the upgrade because now we can’t be sure what state your database is in and it’s already run the removeReviewEntries and part of the 3.0.0_preupdate. You can try dropping the _migration tables (there are several) but I am afraid that you’ll get an inconsistent database afterwards.

Regards,
Jason
