After upgrade to 1.5, it want's me to upgrade to 1.5!

[OrcaSoul]

I went through the process to upgrade, it even made me upgrade the database to be compatible with 1.5.0...and yet when I log onto the Admin panel, it advises me to upgrade to v1.5.0...!

What's happening here?

LOTS more info needed.

What does "it advised me to upgrade" look like?
How exactly did you do the upgrade? What steps did you follow? What steps did you skip?
Did this happen on your test site too?

When I log on I get the message:

New Version Available v1.5.0 :: New Release with tightened security, and feature enhancements
Download Here

Which I presume means it doesn't think it is v1.5.0

Right below that message there's a "Version" link in the menu bar. Click it. Paste here all the info in the version history section.

OK, answering these plus your next question


The "version" button brings up the following:

Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Patch: 1::
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
v1.3.8   [2010-01-31 21:48:23]   (Fresh Installation)
v1.3.8   [2010-01-31 21:48:23]   (Fresh Installation)

So I guess I didn't get the upgrade after all...

When I upgraded I downloaded and installed the v1.5.0 zip.

I downloaded the working v1.3.9h ZenCart from the server, and used WinMerge to compare that to the original v1.3.9h files.

The only different files were the config files.

I then compared the store files with the v1.5.0 install files, a lot of files were "different" as expected - I updated the new version with the config info, then copied all of the "unique" files (the override files) from the store to the new version.

I then ran the install, set all the paths & DB & other things asked for, and it said I had upgraded. I then upgraded the DB copy on the PC, that worked fine.

After renaming the Admin & setting the config to read only, and erasing the ac-install folder, it seemed to run fit and happy.

The last step was to upload all of the store folder via FTP to the server. When it ran, I assumed everything was as it should be.

One note - it did not ask me to update the database - I assumed that maybe GoDaddy handles this.

I just checked the local test version and I get the following:

Your version of Zen Cart™ appears to be current.
(TEXT_CURRENT_VER_IS v1.5.0)

Did you delete /zc_install/ before migrating to the live server?

And it looks like you're missing an admin language file (or define) on your local install.

Yes, I did delete the zc_install folder.

But I think I figured out the problem...

When I set this up, I made copies of the working config files - one is local_config, the other is GD_config (GD for GoDaddy)...I did this to have working versions that I could switch when I moved from the server to the PC...

And I forgot to update the copies when I finished the upgrade to v1.5.0...and moving to GD caused me to override the correct config files...

I'll reinstall the new version and then modify the alternate configs...I'll let you know how that goes.

Beats me why you chose to move to GD!! Go cheap - get cheap....

The permissions of your config files should have been set to 444 or 400 with the effect of preventing an over-write.

Also (for future upgrades) please remember to never move your install to another server and upgrade your version at the same time - not a good idea at all.

I've been with GD from the start.

The copies were only as a backup of the working store, in case there were problems in tghe upgrade I could easily revert to the original.

The config file are set to read only.
