Please help me upgrade

I am upgrading from 1.3.8a to 1.3.9d. I have copied my site into a sub-directory and my database into another database. I am trying to point my configure.php file (the copied one in the sub-directory) to my new database and fix the cache. I am getting this:

1146 Table 'queencha_test.zen_db_cache' doesn't exist
in:
[db_cache table]

What does this mean? Thank you for any help :smile:

Anyone?

Why you would copy your Zen Cart database into another database I don't know, but it is definitely not a good idea.

With that said, Zen Cart is now looking for a specific database, along with database username & login, and for specific Table names within that database. You will also need to correct the Session path within Zen Cart. Use either the Fix Cache Key module from the Add-Ons downloads or from within your Admin > Configuration > Sessions - Sessions Directory, edit to use the correct path.

Ok, I got that problem fixed.

How exactly am I using WinMerge? I compared the files from my backup to the 1.3.9d files. The only customizations I made were in a custom template. I am I just copying the custom template folders and files over to 1.3.9d?

When moving / coping a Zen Cart site from one dir. to another or from one Hosting account to another, the majority of problems are usually database related. A Zen Cart database contains and needs to know, certain key information which without, will cause errors such as you were getting.

Glad to hear you got things sorted but what was it that worked for you? Your solution may help others in the future with the same problem.

The database had not copied correctly. I re-copied it, which seemed to solve it. Probably a stupid mistake on my part...

I upgraded to 1.3.9d in a separate directory with a separate database. When I log into the Zen Cart admin area, it still prompts me to upgrade to 1.3.9d. Is this because the main directory is 1.3.8a and only a subdirectory was upgraded? Will this disappear when I replace the directory files with the files from the subdirectory?
