linux install issue?

when i install 1.3.6 in linux,a issue so it can not work:pls help,dear!

why they are blank?

No idea.

Perhaps your database didn't install properly?
Perhaps your table-prefixes didn't build correctly?

The way the code is written, that should never happen ... and I've never seen it happen before.

Were there any warnings/errors that you chose to ignore on the System Inspection page?

What are your system/server's specifications?

Warning:
Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Admin->Tools->Server Information to review patch levels.

wait for help!

What is the URL to your zc_install/techsupp.php ?

Hey DrByte,

I have run afoul of the same database patch issue, albeit with afresh install of 1.3.7 after importing my database from 1.3.5. Here's the error:

Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels.

The error shows up at the top of the page of both the shop and the admin.

When going to the Tools->Server Information page, I don't know what information I am looking for or what further steps to take to address the issue.

I have attached a zipped PDF of my zc_install/techsupp.php.

All help greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,

Still unsuccessful in "patching" database or otherwise removing the bright red warning quoted above. On the cusp of taking the site live, but need to remove this warning before going further. The warning wasn't there when the database was empty. Only after populating the table with the 1.3.5 data.

All help appreciated. You can see the store here: http://bender.liquidweb.com/~limoleds/zc1370/

Thanks in advance,

Upgrade the database.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the tip. I also found this forum thread helpful: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50389&highlight=patch+levels

What I figured out was that I did a clean install of 1.3.7 and then added my 1.3.5 backup data to my new empty 1.3.7 database after this step. This is when the patch level warnings appeared. I also found this to be true at my remotely hosted site (Linux) as well as my local development site (Macintosh). Thus, I don't believe this to be an Linux specific issue.

The key on both of my sites was to simply re-run the Zen Cart installer in order to have the database upgraded. Once this was done, all warnings disappeared.

Thanks again. Hoping to go live within 48 hours.

Hi folks,

Wanted to report that I got the following error when backing up my remote site with PHPmyadmin and then using the admin to restore to my local site:

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '0'', ''1''),'');')' at line 1

If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

This looks a lot like the "skipped" text listed on the Upgrade Database page when I worked through that step. (See previous post.) Despite this error, the restore looks to have completed as I have verified that changes made to the first site are now present on the second site.

I guess maybe this should be recorded as a "benign" bug? IF I am missing something more here, please advise.

Mark Harrison
