hello! I have 1600 contacts and the entries in the calendar must be around 500... I don't know the exact time, but after 5 minutes it was done. Sorry, not to be more precise, but I was working on another tab...

I had the very same problem which was due to the fact that PHP stopped execution too early to complete the upgrade.

You need to raise the maximum execution time. Otherwise, the script will be stopped after 30s in the middle of the upgrade process and your data will be corrupted.

This gets worse with each entry you have in the database.

So, restore your backup, raise maximum execution time a lot and run the upgrade script again.

To raise maximum execution time, try adding

ini_set('max_execution_time', 3000); //3000 seconds = 50 minutes

to line 1 in the baikal-file /html/admin/install/index.php

right after <?php

Then run your upgrade and be patient.

P.S: You are not the first one to encounter this problem: #665 or #573

@ladetto May I ask how many contacts and events your installation holds? How long did the upgrade process take?

We've been pretty quiet because the project hasn't had an active maintainer for a while. There's recently been a new release that might solve some of these problems.

It's been a while since your message so I assume you either moved on or solved it. If not, give the latest version a shot and comment here if you're running into problems.
