Re: 16.2 tiki-installer fails to recognize the specified database

Hi Bernard,

I could successfully upgrade the database issuing "php console.php
database:upgrade". The setup is working fine.
I always make a backup before upgrades, so I will also be able to try your
suggesstion later.

Thanks:
Attila
