We purchased licenses for Servoy but are still using it on a learning/trial basis (not as our core development platform). Therefore, I missed a couple of release candidates. I decided to upgrade to RC7, and when I did, I get the following error:

Can’t find recent repository (version) on current server connection, do you want to create/upgrade?

When I click OK, I get the following error:

Cannot create repository, with the following error in the details box

A column on table servoy/releases repository\_server with name release\_number already exists

I figure there is probably a quick fix for this, I just don’t know what it is. Thanks for your help.

What backend database are you using? The default firebird database that is provided with Servoy? From which version are you upgrading?

It is the default Firebird database and it was from RC3. I had read in another post that someone had a different problem after upgrading and reinstalled Java which fixed the problem. I tried this and I still got the same error. Sorry about not providing this information initially.

From which version to which version are you upgrading?  
When are you getting this error?  
On which operating system?  
What happens if you do a clean install?
