Configure.php delete reinstall causes problems

[stefanl]

Hi,

I have version 139d. Upgrading from 138
Via FTP I deleted the configure.php (under includes/configure.php) on my remote server, renamed it via remote ftp my dist.configure.php into configure.php.

That move removed my "front page" of my temporary webshop/subdomain, giving me an error page.

After that I whent to my 138 version (locally on my computer) and in the includes/configure.php, took the configure.php transfer via FTP, maiking my page to kind of reappear in the products page, as seen in my browser.

BUT on top above my website/webshop it gave an ERROR message (rectangle with exclamation mark in it) saying:

"Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Admin->Tools->Server Information to review patch levels."


In my despair of simply trying to get my products show up in my shop online and in the admin page its giving me headache as there seam to be no simple pedagogical tutorial in what I have to do.

Just so you know: I have a webshop live version 138. I have plased version 139d on a subdomain while testing to see it all works. Until now I do have got a lot of help, but in this particular case I still havent found anything that can help me in getting the categories/products page on both the site and admin page to show up.

Everywhere people say "chmod 777", but what more can I do except getting the configure.php on my remote server. I simply dont it.
