    One has to wonder why you'd even bother to keep backups if this were the case.

    Although not often discussed, unless the backup regime is regularly tested (which includes the ability to restore) then keeping backups is a pointless exercise and is probably even worse than no backup at all. At least if you know you don't have a backup you'll be extra careful about doing something foolish.

    You got file system 1.3.9b - did you download the right version from sourceforge.net ?

    Also make sure that you check the box that updates from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9. By the looks of your post you went backwards.

    There is one single zipped file to download: zen-cart-v1.3.9d-full-fileset-06032010.zip (about 4327KB).

    This file contains the latest version (d) including a zc_install folder and a docs folder.

    The docs folder contains all upgrade instructions, changelogs and whatsnew files.

    Important: You need to study the docs carefully before proceeding.

    Running zc_install does the DB upgrade. The new database structure is the same for all 1.3.9 versions (a to d) so you always get a 1.3.9 DB after a successful upgrade.

    HEy 2kredz3, I had the same exact error, and tried many many fixes listed on these forums from the past 4 days, and DrByte finally came up with the proper fix for me. Check out this topic:

    http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...48&postcount=6

    Just change the one parameter that DrByte lists to utf8 and then do the Database Upgrade, and it worked for me!
