upgrading database questions

[simply_sterling]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but when I go to Upgrade Database again after the error, it says that the database appears up to date. Perhaps the database is up to date and just has not updated in the Admin section?

I thought about just using Easy Populate and reinstalling ZenCart, but all my customer accounts and changes I've made to the site would be gone. So hopefully someone comes up with a fix for this, or I'll have to give in and reinstall after the weekend.

well, i fixed my issue. it turned out to be linked to the counter problem.

I had duplicates in my counter file since I upgraded wrong last time i did it.

heres the link to that thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ounter+history

What I had to do was first enter the correct code in my includes/counter.php which is located on the 2nd page of that link.

Secondly i had to recreate the counter file itself which is done through entering a command string into the SQL patch.

then I just re-ran the zc_install and clicked on the 1.3.8 to 1.3.9 upgrade. it errored 3 times but ended up processing 32 commands for me.

My database now reads 1.3.9d

Thanks for everyones help and i hope this may help someone else

I did that fusionsp, but it did not work for me

I already had the correct code in the counter.php file, emptied my Counter History, then I ran that script, and ran the database update and received the same still. My Admin still says 1.3.8 for the database.

Everyone getting the 'utf8' error when upgrading the database, go do the fix DrByte posted at

It's just so simple it actually makes sense! I tried everything else listed on this site and none worked. But the fix DrByte found worked for me and my database is now 1.3.9d like it should be. Hope that works for everyone else
