Sonarr version: 2.0.0.5344 OS: Windows 10 Description of issue:
I’m trying to update my version from v2 to v4 and when I did, I discovered that everything was moved from C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone\ … to C:\ProgramData\Sonarr. But more importantly, the database name has been changed (and apparently the format). I was able to install v4 but none of my series and settings were carried over.
I have seen others say that I need to go from v2 to v3 then to v4 however, I cannot locate a v3 installer. Where can I get one?
The name changed, the format did not, it’s still SQLite, just with more migrations.
That’s not necessary, some people did because it resulted in less migrations happening at one time.
v3 did migrate the DB from C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone\ to C:\ProgramData\Sonarr, but in v4 you can do it manually.
Stop Sonarr
Remove any files that start with sonarr.db
Copy nzbdrone.db to C:\ProgramData\Sonarr
Rename to sonarr.db
Start Sonarr
As long as your DB doesn’t have any silent corruption it should start up after it goes through all the necessary migrations which could take a few minutes or longer.
No, I already did that, that is how I had found out it was changed. When I did that it gave me a message saying the sonarr.db file was corrupted. Then I did more research and found people saying that it had changed (they are both SQLite but they may have different information within them).
