    Default Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Informati

    I ran the recommended upgrade for ZenCart that was recommended by my host. It was an auto install offered. However, it errored out and I know get the following message: "Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels." It is visible on the homepage, and in the admin area. I went as instructed to the admin area, server info and see the following:

    Server Host: gs14.inmotionhosting.com (205.134.240.228) Database Host: localhost (127.0.0.1) Server OS: Linux 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp Database: MySQL 4.0.27-standard-log Server Date: 11/16/2006 06:49:56 Database Date: 11/16/2006 06:49:56 Server Up Time: 06:49:56 up 25 days, 4:23, 2 users, load average: 2.58, 2.84, 2.96
    PHP Version: 4.3.11 (Zend: 1.3.0)

    HTTP Server: Apache/1.3.36 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.3.11 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.27 OpenSSL/0.9.7a

    I look to the config.php and see the following database info.

    // define our database connection
    define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
    define('DB_PREFIX', 'zen_');
    define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
    define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '*****');
    define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '****');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'wicked8_zc1');
    define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
    define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db'); // use 'db' for best support, or '' for file-based storage

    Basically, I know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to corerct this. Can anyone help me out so I do not loose the hours of work I have input. My only thought is to delete and do a fresh install.

    It means that your database structure doesn't match the version that your PHP files are expecting.
    This typically happens only when you've started to do an upgrade but haven't completed it properly.

    Thanks for replying, but I just installed ZenCart. I went through every step in the instructions and the only errors I got are for the fcgi thingie. Well, that and I'm getting a page not found error on the catalog (admin works ok).

    Are all of these related?

    Thanks,
    Tracy

    I had a database backup from version 1.3.7.1

    I left a site host and held onto the backup until I got a chance to redo the site. I installed zen, apparently 1.3.8.a, restored the backup I had, and am getting the same message about patch levels. I wanted to avoid typing in all of our product data again. Not sure what to do next.

    Ok, I'll try to find information on that. I do not know if I was to upgrade it BEFORE upload, or after. There were some switches and/or selections at the restore page but I just left everything alone and did not change anything. Any clue on how to do appreciated, meantime I'll search. Thanks.

    Upload the zc_install folder for your Zen Cart version, and run it from your browser.
    Full upgrade documentation is available in several places:
    a) the /docs/ folder of your Zen cart files
    b) the FAQ/Tutorials area
    c) all over the forum



    Or, you could just download the older version of Zen Cart and install that instead.
    And plan your upgrade later.
