Database Patching is stuck

I am upgrading an old Zen installation from 1.4 to 1.3.5 and what a fun game this is:blush:

I have a lot of it working - my processes so far have been

1. Back up everything:smartass:
2. make sure I have backed up everything (files and DB)
3. create a new folder on server called shop2
4. Create new database on server and import data/tables etc from current db to the new one.
5. Upload new download of 1.3.5
6. change config files to look in new folder and look at new database.
7. CHMODed the relavent files and folders
8. Run the zc_install and choose "upgrade database" route.
9. Check the box to go from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5
10. checked server information in shp2/admin and it now says

Zen Cart 1.3.5
Database Patch Level: 1.2.5
v1.2.5 [2005-07-29 11:34:55] (Version Update 1.2.4->1.2.5)
v1.2.4 [2005-03-24 15:48:31] (Fresh Installation)

11. back into zc_install and choose 1.2.5 to 1.2.6

12. back to admin and get the same message:sleepy:

13. Tried it a few more times and got bored. I headed off to start updating the templates and the CSS (and some admin settings) to get the look of the site back in line with the old one.

14. went back to zc_install to give it another bash but every time it runs the update, there are a few errors, but I read that this is normal.

I still get the same server database patch message. What am I doing wrong??

The front end of the new site is looking good and the products are there etc, but they are not in the Catalog listings in the admin. So I asume this is to do with the database not being up to the level of the current Zen installation. Hopefully this will get sorted when I can get the upgrade database bit working.

Please help :)

Just had another go at patching the DB from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6 and still nothing hapening. Grumble grumble........

Help - anyone else having the database patches sticking???

I don't know if this will help but it's worth a try...

As always BACKUP first !!!

Then go using PHPMyAdmin run the SQL Upgrades on the database by hand.

This will help you narrow down where the problem lies at the very least.

Or it's gonna actually upgrade it ....

Hope that helps a little at least.

THANK YOU TinaS :laugh:

I will give this a go and see what happens - wish me luck:lamo:

Nope - did not work - The DB refuses to go past 1.2.5 :no:

oops - doh - and other such "I am a dumbass" comments

I had made a mistake in the Admin configure files - the admin configure was looking at the old DB - sorted now :blush:

Hate when that code listens to what I say and not what I mean ... :eek:

Glad to hear you are getting things back on track! :smile:
