Description

Attempting to upgrade from Gogs with a SQL database. Below is the relevant part of app.ini:

[database]
DB_TYPE = mssql
HOST = XXXX
NAME = Gitea
USER = GiteaWriter
PASSWD = XXX
SSL_MODE = disable

When running:
gitea web --config /data/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini I receive the error in the log file above. From what I can see from the docs, mssql should be supported database type.

Mssql is indeed supported, but can you confirm the version Of gitea you are using is 1.0.2 as perhaps that version doesn’t have mssql support. If you are following the upgrade path you might be able to just skip that version. Of course make sure to backup everything first.

I think it was a problem with 1.0.2. I was using that version because I was upgrading from Gogs. I exported the Gogs database into SQLite format and then I was able to import into Gitea.
