    help question Help: Upgrade 1.3.8a > 1.3.9h. System Setup remains in INSTALL vs UPGRADE mode.

    Implementing upgrade from 1.3.8a to 1.3.9h. During System Setup, it remains in INSTALL vs UPGRADE mode.

    Working in a development environment with a separate IP address and database: mirror site. Have backups of db saved as needed. Sites are both currently working and parallel. We have Zencart currently running on both public and dev sites, using v 1.3.8a. Trying to upgrade to v 1.3.9h. on dev site first, before doing so on public site.

    Have downloaded and unzipped 1.3.9h. Made file comparisons, have included customized template folders inside directories as follows:
    Zencart/includes/templates/TEMPLATE (folder)
    Zencart/includes/languages/English/html_includes/TEMPLATE (folder)
    Zencart/includes/languages/English/modules/shipping/TEMPLATE (folder)
    Zencart/includes/languages/English/TEMPLATE (folder)

    Have saved modified dist_configure.php files as configure.php files in both /admin/includes and /includes directories.

    Now trying to run System Setup to have it give the option for an UPGRADE. After it completes the System Inspection, it's still in INSTALL mode vs UPGRADE mode.

    I'm assuming, based on what I've read in the instructions and in forums, that some path or syntax within the configure.php file is wrong, and isn't allowing a connection to the database. [Note: Have reviewed the configure.php files with technician at the hosting company, just to confirm that all settings are correct. Confirmed that database is intact and the table structures are identical between both live and dev sites and that there's content, etc. in the dev database, which was copied over from live site, and imported into its own MySQL DB.]

    Could it be the prefix definition inside the configure.php filess, for instance? I have modified the files myself, then when that didn't help, I created blank files (per instructions) and allowed the System Setup to write the configure.php files, and compared them.

    Below is the content of the ADMIN/INCLUDES/configure.php file I'm currently using:

    Possible next steps that I might attempt would be useful.

    Default Re: Help: Upgrade 1.3.8a > 1.3.9h. System Setup remains in INSTALL vs UPGRADE mode.

    At the very least, you've got an admin version of configure.php in your non-admin includes folder.
    And in both files you're using relative paths for DIR_FS_CATALOG and DIR_FS_ADMIN when you need to be using full absolute paths.
    Both of these problems are caused by editing the files by hand and guessing at the content instead of letting the zc_install process build them for you.

    Default Re: Help: Upgrade 1.3.8a > 1.3.9h. System Setup remains in INSTALL vs UPGRADE mode.

    Thanks, DrByte! I will go back and re-run the System Setup so it writes the configure files for both directories (I think this occurs during System Inspection, when I place blank files in both directories, and it generates these files at that step, prior to the choice between Install or Upgrade). Perhaps if I generate adequate configure.php files for both directories, then when I run System Setup, it will offer the Upgrade Mode. I'll post back with results.

    Default Re: Help: Upgrade 1.3.8a > 1.3.9h. System Setup remains in INSTALL vs UPGRADE mode.

    Perhaps I need to check my basic understanding of how this System Setup process works. Based on experiments yesterday, and how I read the installation instructions and even how I interpreted your recommendations, I tried putting blank files named configure.php into /admin/includes and /includes directories. Initiated the System Setup process (as far as System Inspection). This didn't generate anything at all. Files remained blank.

    I tried renaming the raw dist-configure.php files (each file associated with its respective subdirectory) from the original 1.3.9h directory as configure.php. Tese were files with "placeholders" for path names, etc. . Initiated the System Setup process (as far as System Inspection) and the files remain in template mode...they aren't 'written' or customized during the first few steps of the System Setup process.

    I open these files using BBEdit, so I don't think I'm corrupting them when I open them to check contents. I'm downloading them from the server in order to look at them.

    So I'm left with the option of hand-coding these files, as far as I can tell. Clearly I don't understand something about how to allow the System Setup to write the configure.php files...

    Or should I continue forward with an Install to generate the configure.php files? (I believe going forward will wipe out the contents of the working dev copy of the database that we have installed and tested, but I'm willing to do this and rebuild if that's the advised approach.)

    I was trying to prompt an Zencart Upgrade within System Setup, since I already have v1.3.8a installed and running properly, but I cannot seem to get that far...It remains in Install mode. Again...I assume it's an issue with my configure.php files, but I cannot seem to repair them.

    For reference:

    Admin/includes/configure.php (saved from dist-configure.php) file as it appears after I run System Setup and allow it to "write" to the file...no change, as far as I can tell...it's a blank raw template:

    Not trying to be fresh, just trying to understand if I'm approaching this in a useful way, or if I *don't* understand a step in the System Setup process, or what I should try next? I'm not any further along, regardless of which way I go at this step.

    Thanks for your input and suggestions!!!

    Default Re: Help: Upgrade 1.3.8a > 1.3.9h. System Setup remains in INSTALL vs UPGRADE mode.

    Here's what I would do:
    a) create the zencart-new folder
    b) upload a fresh set of ZC files into that folder
    c) run zc_install to make a fresh new store (new database name, password, etc)
    d) after completing zc_install this will have new configure.php files which are properly built for this zencart-new folder.
    e) then import the data from the old database for testing and run zc_install and choose the "upgrade" option
    f) then customize the zencart-new store as required
    g) test test test
    h) when finished testing, put the LIVE store down-for-maintenance, update the PHP files (except its configure.php files), run zc_install to upgrade the database, and test.
    i) delete the zencart-new folder and database because it's no longer needed, because you've copied all the changes over to the live store and upgraded it into production (the zencart-new folder was just a staging/testing area)

    In a nutshell that's what the upgrade tutorials say, just in more detail.

    DrByte -- Thanks, I'm doing a new complete Install as suggested, and will see what happens by going this route. Thanks for your patience!
