#7627 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Upgrade performed with empty database creates database

Reported by: pishmishy Owned by: pishmishy
Priority: high Milestone: 2.7
Component: General Version: 2.6.1
Severity: major Keywords: install upgrade database has_patch

Description

An upgrade process performed before the user has initialized the WordPress install causes database tables to be created. This then prevents the user from running the setup process, locking them out. To reproduce:

  1. Install WordPress but don't run through the installation pages at ​http://foo.com/wp-admin/install.php
  2. Run the upgrade process at ​http://foo.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php
  3. Database tables have been created, preventing the install process from running, the user table is empty.

  • Keywords has_patch added
  • Status changed from new to assigned

Attached patch won't allow an upgrade if get_option('db_version') is undefined. I am of course, presuming that this is a useful way of detecting an empty database.

is_blog_installed() - /wp-includes/functions.php sounds like it'd be the function call you'd be after.
