    Default Upgrade 1.3.5 -> 1.3.7 database needs patching

    I have just uploaded my working database into my 1.3.7 upgrade test site & it's showing the following error:

    Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels.
    I went to Server Info & it's showing:

    Zencart 1.3.7
    Database Patch Level 1.3.5
    How do I patch the database up to 1.3.7?

    Thanks

    Katie,

    Re-run the zc_install and select the DB upgrade ONLY - this should correct this

    bug Re: Upgrade 1.3.5 -> 1.3.7 database needs patching

    "Re-run the zc_install and select the DB upgrade ONLY " How does one go about doing this?.

    I installed zencart using the cpanel and after my recent upgrade to 1.3.7 i have been getting the same error. But my cpanel after the upgrade shows the following message : Zencart Installed version Unknown; Only manual Upgrade possible.

    I use windows in my machine. I would appreciate any help on how to do the re-run of zc_install.

    Thanks!

    What you describe is a common fantastico glitch - as you have apparently upgraded outside of fantastico - it does not recognize the install....this is not a bad thing -

    I assume that you obtained the Zen Cart distribution files to upgrade?

    In these is the zc_install folder - if this is still on your hosting account Zen Cart install and possibly renamed - just remane it again to zc_install if not reupload this folder to your tree for the Zen Cart installation and enter it in the browser address line

    I found a forum thread on how to do the re-run of the zc_install and the database upgrade error message is gone now from my site.
