    Default osC convert - "Your database appears to need patching to a higher level"

    I know there are other threads on this, but instead of stepping into one of those, I figured I would start a new one to keep things clear

    ok, I get the error msg in my storefront

    I also get error msg in my admin

    I am running this on a local machine so there is no link for you to view....


    in Tools->Server Information it shows:

    Zen Cart 1.3.6
    Database Patch Level: .
    PHP Version 5.1.6


    in running the installer to do a database update, it shows:


    Database Information -- Upgrade Sniffer predicts: *** No upgrade required ***
    Database Type = mysql
    Database Host = localhost
    Database Name = xxxxxxx
    Database Username = xxxxxxx
    Database Table-Prefix =
    Database Privileges = Not Checked

    and no options are selected in the list of upgrades

    the original db is an oSC db converted to Zen using mysqldiff and other tools (have now become a master of doing this....)


    so........ ?

    Jeff-

    You were upgrading from 1.3.5? What are the permissions on your includes/configure.php and the admin/includes/configure.php?
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    hi Kim

    yes

    the db goes from an old oSC db, to a Zen db and it has worked flawlessly up until this installation of 1.3.6

    started with a clean install of 1.3.6, then I go thru the following:

    1) install clean copy of 1.3.6 and create clean db
    2) download current copy of oSC db
    3) do a mysqldiff on oSC vs 1.3.6 db
    4) apply all changes
    5) change db name in admin & catalog includes/configure.php to new db

    permissions are 644 on both config files

    Looks like you missed ensuring some tables were ported over or contained current/valid data. In the case of patch-level information, this is in the project_version and project_version_history tables. If you've missed those, then I would venture to consider that others have been missed during your conversion as well.
