    Default Database needs patching ?

    The new install works fine for me, however, I get a message that my database needs patching. I am wondering if this has anything to do with running php 5 MySQL 5
    here is the error message
    Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels.

    It says my database patch level is "Database Patch Level: 1.3.8"
    Any Suggestions are appreciated!

    Thanks

    Did you import an existing DB backup to this install?

    Can I jump in on this thread please.

    I am getting the same problem but my server info page says

    Zen Cart 1.3.8

    Database Patch Level: 1.3.7

    v1.3.7 [2007-10-15 14:08:39] (Fresh Installation)
    v1.3.7 [2007-10-15 14:08:39] (Fresh Installation)


    I did a fresh install of 1.3.8 but i DID import the old Database.

    How do I get around this??

    Thanks in Advance.

    Just a thought - should my old database have been up there before I did the fresh install.
    Should I have then done a database upgrade as oppossed to an install, and then does it do an install as well.
    I did try this but got errors or blank pages so I did the whole install instead

    After you imported, did you run zc_install and do the database-upgrade step?

    My problem is similar to what is being discussed here so I will continue...

    I upgraded from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8a. I uploaded the 1.3.8a files over my existing installation and then ran the zc_install script making sure to choose the upgrade database option. The checkbox was set to 1.3.7 to 1.3.8.

    I received a couple errors saying my admin password was incorrect. I don't believe it was, but I entered it several times and finally it upgraded the database but with an error that said it was not able to update all of the table prefixes.

    I had noticed that the table prefix field said "zen_" so I deleted that because I did not want the prefix updated. My database already had a prefix of "zen_". Why is this filled in already anyway, especially during an upgrade?

    So when I got the error about the prefix not being updated in all the tables, I freaked. I looked at the database with phpMyAdmin and the prefix looks OK in all the tables...so why the error?

    I don't know if I trust my database now. How can I verify the integrity of the database? Is there a way to do this?

    Going into ZC admin, the info about my installation is...

    The reason on the upgrade screen for these is to insure that any additional tables are written with the correct prefix if there is one.

    How many tables do you now have versus before? You do have a backup correct?

    Insure that all tables either have a prefix or that none do.

    Question based on the comments above:
    Can you (and if you can how) fresh install 1.3.8a and then upload your old database data? (once the store is configured back to the functionality it had in 1.3.7)

    Thanks,
    Phil

    If I am reading this right - tehn No....you will not get original function necessarily until you upload your ald DB and UPGRADE it.

    While there may be many ways to have success the recommended way is bullet proof.

    Thanks Kobra!

    I don't know why I try to do things the perceived easy way—and then spend hours frustrated.

    "Bulletproof" sold me! (I love that expression)

    Thanks,
    Phil
