Skipped:cannot .... because it already exists

[Wilfred]

Hi there. I wonder if anyone can help me as I seem to be stuck on the same thing. The site is brand new so no need to upgrade a database (its new too). I have downloaded all the new version files so the zc_install are the current version. When I accessed the admin area after install######## I received the "your database appears to need patching to a higher level" message. I have gone back and run upgrade DB from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9 but get the message "Skipped:cannot add index idx_prod_id_orders_id_zen to table orders_products because it already exists" "Skipped: cannot add index idx_cust_id_zen to table orders because it already exists and Skipped:cannot insert configeration key "SHOW_SPLIT_TAX_CHECKOUT" because it already exists (many times for this one).

I have read some posts and already changed the zc_install installer_params.php from latin to utf8 as this is my database.

Im sure that I am doing something very simple wrong so would appreciate any help that can be offered. Many thanks : Dom

Go to Admin->Tools->Server Info
What does it say about "Zen Cart Version" and "Database Version" and history?

Hello Dr Byte,
Hope this is the info you need. Best wishes : Dom

That tells me you're missing one or more files from your /includes/ folder, presumably a result of an incomplete FTP upload.

Hi there Dr Byte,
Of course, you are totally correct... I went through file by file and just 1 was missing... on a fresh go this of course solved everything. Thank you so much for your kind assistance, im off to eat drink and be merry thanks totally to you :). Thanks again : Dom

I am getting similar error messages ("Skipped:cannot add index idx_prod_id_orders_id_zen to table orders_products because it already exists" "Skipped: cannot add index idx_cust_id_zen to table orders because it already exists and Skipped:cannot insert configeration key "SHOW_SPLIT_TAX_CHECKOUT" because it already exists), but when I go into my Admin it still says Version 1.3.8

I can't for the life of me get the upgrade to 1.3.9h to work!! I keep getting directed back to the Upgrade Database page with the same error messages. It is never actually upgrading.

You've already got two threads open about this, so I suggest you stay out of this one.

Question for all those upgrading from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9h.
Im trying to do that but on the install it says
Ready to Install? (This will wipe any existing data. You are NOT in Upgrade mode!!!)
Did you have the same thing? Did you install ok? Any tips?

[cactusrunning]

Sorry Vger I was just hoping to get someone other than Black Kobra answering my questions. He hasn't been very helpful...


Pookie Hair: To get the Upgrade Database option to come up, I had to add in the text into my configure.php files in the zc full file set. Once they were no longer empty I got the Upgrade option.

Thanks for replying cactusrunning?
Add in what text?
Where might I find the configure.php files in the zc full file set?
Did you upgrade from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9h?
Im finding it a complete nightmare
