    Default Error Message...need patching to a higher level

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

    The above is an error message I got when I upgraded to 1.3.0 , any suggestions?

    1. The error message indicates that you didn't upgrade your database after upgrading your PHP files.
    The instructions on this are in the /docs folder, as part of the upgrade documentation.
    (You'll need to upload the new zc_install folder and run zc_install/index.php)

    2. v1.3.0.1 is out. You may want to be sure you have the latest.

    Is it possible to uninstall and go back to the old version?

    If you restore your files and database from backups, sure.

    Always best to upgrade to a TEST area before upgrading the LIVE site.

    NOTE: the Zen Cart Upgrader does more than just load some sql files ...

    It is best to use the Upgrade Database in the /zc_install and not try to run the sql files raw unless you have:

    1 a real clue what you are doing

    2 a real reason to by pass the proper way to Upgrade your database

    3 are a masochist for errors and problems ...
