At the CVS version, there is a column (category-type) that has been added to

If there was any problem executing cvs.sql and that column is not present,

If not and still fails, run manually the commands within the mysql prompt.
Take those commands from the database/cvs.sql


Be sure that the column is there. That will very likely to solve your ·
