Weird Behavior Upgrading

First of all, I've done this dozens of times so I know what I'm doing. I even did 2 upgrades this week 1 from 1.3.8a and another one from 1.3.9a.

It doesn't matter what I do that the installation page doesn't come up with the option to upgrade database. I even deleted the configure files to see if there was any reaction and the installation didn't come up with errors (like if there still there), when I went through cpanel access, the files were there. So I tried then uploading the files from the file manager, needless to say it was unsuccessful. :lamo:

The new install is located at:

Code:

---

metisllc.com/newStore

---

The database to upgrade is 1.3.8a

I have tried different approaches but nothing works, any idea?

Yes, I also rechecked all the configuration files to see the database user/pass, etc are correct, and everything is.

I just noticed that on IE8 I can see the site but if I go to patch the database, again, no option to do so. :blink:

Also it shows admin/includes/configure.php as writable and it's not. I'm really lost on this one.

That database-upgrade option ONLY shows if the /includes/configure.php database details point to a database that allows connection and inspection.
Evidently yours is not finding that information in that file.

Yes, I know DrByte, the configure file is correct. I even re-did the configure file all over with the original file of the ZCpack, but still not getting anything.

Also I know they are correct because as I said, if you go to IE8 you can actually see the database there, just without the patch, when I try to patch the database, I just don't have the option. :huh:

On the System Inspection page, add &debug=1 to the URL and press Enter. What does it tell you?

So, it's clearly finding nothing in the configure.php file, if it's finding the file at all.

Did you see the site on IE8? Is there, this is the first time I came across this issue... :blink:

I will delete everything and start all over... I'll report afterward, but what if still the same issue?

I have no need to look at it in any browser. You already confirmed that it's not finding your configure.php file content properly:
