Data base upgrade

[IFEELFROOSH]

Hi I just upgraded zencart from 1.3.2 to 1.3.8. I'm getting a "Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Admin->Tools->Server Information to review patch levels." but I just checked my server info and its

Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
v1.3.8 [2008-01-18 13:55:42] (Fresh Installation)
v1.3.8 [2008-01-18 13:55:42] (Fresh Installation)

Am I up to date and why do I have two versions of 1.3.8 on my server?

I just went into zc_install and see if there are any patches needed. It doesn't look like I need any. This is the message I get

Database Information -- Upgrade Sniffer predicts: *** No upgrade required ***


But the other thing is that it shows Database Table-Prefix = zen_ . I checked my table names in the new database and they don't have that prefix. What gives? I still need help with the original problem for the error message for the database patch.

Did you figure anything out? I am getting the same error. I was using 1.3.7 and just did a clean install of 1.3.8.

If your configure.php files contain database information that's pointing to the wrong database or wrong prefix then naturally you'll be getting unexpected results. Remember, there are two configure.php files involved: store and admin.

I just started fresh with a new upgrade. Everything is fine. A few things I noticed that I might have missed the first time around and after reading some more threads regarding upgrades :

- when doing the database upgrade I did one version at a time i.e. do one checkbox at at time until its fully upgraded from 1.3.2 to 1.3.8
- make sure the database prefix is correct



Thanks to lots of informational posts by Dr Byte.

I upgrade my zencart from 1.2.x to 1.3.8a
and get the same error result "Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Admin->Tools->Server Information to review patch levels."

I check the server info and it show up that my Zencart is 1.3.8a and database patch is 1.3.5
what should I do?

I dont want to loose my database because already running, so please anyone can help here?

Back up your db, then run the upgrade again, choose to upgrade db only. You should lose nothing.

Again, back up first.
