Installing and upgrading help

Richard, thank you for the link to your dialogue with OS

I followed your instructions in the dialogue to OS.

Tried these:

 $CFG->version = "2007101520";

I think that should override the erroneous value in the database. If that doesn't work, you will need to fire up your favorite database client program (for example, phpMyAdmin if your database type is MySQL) and change the value column in the row of the mdl_config table in which the name column has the word version. If you want or need to do this with a query, this one should do it:

UPDATE mdl_config SET value='2007101520' WHERE name='version';

These produced:

(mysql) SELECT name FROM mdl config wHERE name = 'version' LIMIT 1
(mysql): UPDATE mdl config SET value = ‘2007101526’ WHERE name = ‘version’
(mysql): SELECT value FROM mdl-config WHERE name = 'statsruntimedays’ LIMIT I
(mysql): SELECT name FROM mdL config WHERE name = 'version' LIMIT 1
(mysql): UPDATE mdLconfig SET value = ‘2.0071 E+g’ wHERE name = ‘version’ 

"there is already a role with this name!"  (in a pink box)

then a Continue button, which brings it right back to this when pressed.

I am totally perplexed!

Any other suggestions or instructions?
