Where is the upgrade option?

Why does my zc_install not give me the option to run Upgrade!!!! It just says I'm not in Upgrade mode and my files will be overwritten. With no way to tell me how to be in Upgrade mode. Help!

I found why the "Upgrade" button/mode was not showing up in my case, so I thought I'd post the reason here in case it helps someone.

In my case, it is because the DB server name had changed and I had not changed it on this line:

define('DB_SERVER', 'P50mysql2xx.secureserver.net');

in the configure.php file. That server name must match the server name you can see has been assigned to it in your hosting control panel where it shows the info for your database you are using. So, the zc_install could not communicate with the database, and did not know there was a DB to be upgraded.

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks for posting solution to your problem.

I've upgraded a ton of sites and never had this issue before, but I'm also not getting the option of upgrading.

I'm taking a 1.3.7 version to the current 1.3.8a - I have a clean set of 1.38 files and a copy of the 1.3.7 db and have all set in a sub-directory to do the upgrade. Right now I'm just trying to get the db upgraded as I will have to do a file compare in order to update the customizations on the site.

As I said I've done a ton of upgrades and never encountered this. Both sites are on the same server, so this poster's solution is not relevant in my case.

Anyone have any ideas why I'm running into this?:blink:

You guessed it... typo in the config file...:oops: Boy do I need a new set of eyes.....:blush:
