need help, use 1.3.8 db on 1.3.9 fresh install,

Hi,
I have exported my 1.3.8 db, and import to 1.3.9 fresh installation,
then I get Your "database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels." error when I login to 1.3.9 admin page,
(e.g use 1.3.8 db in 1.3.9 fresh installation)

how can I export all my old 1.3.8 data to my 1.3.9 fresh installation site,

I did not want to update from my old 1.3.8 to 1.3.9 by using the diff to move the new php files to my 1.3.8 site since I modified a lots of stuff on my old 1.3.8.(php and css files) and I think it will break if I just move php files to my 1.3.8,

any suggestion would be appreciated!:censored::wacko:

Re: need help, use 1.3.8 db on 1.3.9 fresh install,

database and files are DIFFERENT things

I have exported my 1.3.8 db, and import to 1.3.9 fresh installation,
then I get Your "database appears to need patching to a higher level
Rerun zc_install and select upgrade database only

1.3.8 to 1.3.9 by using the diff to** move the new php files to my 1.3.8 site**
I think it will break if I just move php files to my 1.3.8
You have a 1.3.9h install
Why would you move files to your 1.3.8 install??

Re: need help, use 1.3.8 db on 1.3.9 fresh install,

Terrific, I ran into this issue when upgrading from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9 as well.. got this error everywhere:
Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels.

So, I looked and I see this:
Zen Cart 1.3.9h
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
v1.3.8 [2008-02-23 06:23:25] (Fresh Installation)
v1.3.8 [2008-02-23 06:23:25] (Fresh Installation)
PHP Version 5.2.17

so I come here and find this post and think "Great! They know how to fix it!" umm.. one problem, I upgraded using fantastico, so I don't have an install that I can select upgrade database only.. so what do I do now?

Download the Zen Cart installer (Home link at top of page). Unpack it and FTP it to your site, then run it there. Then delete it.

Figster:

I upgraded using fantastico
One should NEVER use it or any auto installer to upgrade with!!!
