Hi,
I know this has been asked loads but I have been through loads of threads and still not solved this. I have this at the top of my site
Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Admin->Tools->Server Information to review patch levels.
I have uploaded patches but nothing has solved the issue - here
http://www.ampmgraphics.com/demo/
I am now guessing that the only way to solve this would be to upgrade to 1.3.9b ? (currently I have 1.3.8a)?
1 / First is there are way to solve the patch issue without doing this?
2 / Second if no to the above..I think I am right in that I need to run the zc_install? by uploading this folder (zc_install) to my public folder and go to the http://www.site/zc_install and go from there?
3 / Will this be complicated? Will this be upgrading my whole site or just the patches.
I have made so many changes to the site I am worried upgrading will mess it up. If there is anyway of solving the patch issue without upgrading I would prefer this!
Can anyone help and guide me with this? I really need help..
Thank you in advance for your time...

Re: Patching to another level
That is correct and when re-running it should provide a "Upgrade Database Only option" which is normally all that is requiredI think I am right in that I need to run the zc_install? by uploading this folder (zc_install) to my public folder and go to the http://www.site/zc_install and go from there?Zen-Venom Get Bitten

Re: Patching to another level
When you upgrade, you need to upgrade two things: your site *files* and your site *database*. By the sound of it you've done one but not the other.

Re: Patching to another level
Thanks everyone for your replies.
I have now updated the database and its fine now (Deleted and re-added payment module as well). I am now running this:
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Patch: 1::
Database Patch Level: 1.3.9c
Is this ok to have two different levels? I would prefer not to upgrade the files. Are there any SEO advantages to upgrading the zen cart files as well??
Thanks

Re: Patching to another level
You're playing with fire.
The database and software are intended to work together at the same version level.
If you start having problems the first thing you'll be told is to finish your upgrade properly..
