Hi

I'm not a complete newbie ie have several sites installed using zencart. But each installation tends to be a bit like the first time as they aren't happening every weeke.

I have installed a new zencart installation using the latest version 1.3.8a. The installation appears to have gone through ok, but when I go into the admin section I get the dreaded "Your database appears to need patching to a higher level." error message at the top. I also get a blank page when going to the main home page.

When I look at the version page I get some nonsensical stuff

PROJECT_VERSION_NAME PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR.PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR
Patch: PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH1:ROJECT_VERSION_PATCH1_SOURCE
Patch: PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH2:ROJECT_VERSION_PATCH2_SOURCE
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
v1.3.8 [2008-06-03 20:54:18] (Fresh Installation)
v1.3.8 [2008-06-03 20:54:18] (Fresh Installation)


It appears there is some issue with retrieving the version of the actual code as it seems the database patch level is correct.

I did encounter a problem with cURL being reported with permission problems when installing. I was able to carry on past this and complete the installation.

Could this be contributing to the pathc level problem?

Many thanks
