Hello all...
For the last several days i've been attempting to upgrade to 1.3.0.2 from 1.3.0.1 on my webserver. My goal was to upgrade now so i don't have to worry about a restoring the database later. Any who, against my first instinct i proceeded. The only thing i needed to be concern with in backing up my override customed folders. I didn't do a complete backup thinking i'd be ok ONLY backing up my home directory (public_html) and a database with a few entrys entered for practice. Now it haunts me!
After uploading the changed files, I opened a new browser tab to run the installation at http://vardanyanjewelry.net/zc_install but failed after several attempts and returned to a previous admin screen and refreshed it. It gave me a few errors! Something about the 1>english language and 2>currency settings not being set 3>I contacted my host about the error about my database needing to be patched to a higher level. THIS is where everthing went downhill. I realized later I should have run only 2 of the many sql scripts, but instead I ran ALL of them in the zc_install folder. Yes I know that was a dumb thing to do. I then contacted my host again and he confirmed my hunch. The best thing now is a restore... Not having a complete backup, i restored the backups mentioned above and still no luck!
As of now, i get a '403 forbidden - you don't have permission to access on this server' error all the time now. I've checked permissions \includes and \admin\includes they are set to 777 all access. I've created new databases thinking its a file corruption in the db and tried to reinstall zencart in another directory using fantastico but it says it already has and installation in root and cannot proceed. Does anybody have a clue on possible resolutions on how i can clean up my huge mess?
Please help :~(
