    help question Patching Database

    Hi,

    I have just updated my site from 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 by simply overwriting the files on my server with the new ones and then re-replacing my modified files. This seems to have worked fine.

    However this is the first time I have upgraded my installation and I don't know how to patch the database for the new version, can someone please explain how?

    Many thanks!

    Crin

    First off, backup your database.

    Provided you haven't deleted or renamed the zc_install directory, launch a browser window and navigate to www.yourstorename.com/zc_install (replacing yourstorename.com with the URL for your store).

    This will start the installation script. On no account agree to install. Instead as you go through look for the database upgrade option (you can ignore the warning about your configure files not being writeable - you don't want them written to anyway).

    The install routine should automatically tick the boxes to recognize which versions need to be upgraded through and when you click on the database upgrade button do the upgrade for you.
