Upgrade using host script

I upgraded my installation using an option provided by my host, who supports ZC on our control panel. The upgrade went OK and after a few tweaks our site looks and works OK. But we are getting the message that our database appears to need patching... Since we used the host script to upgrade I do not seem to have access to the ZC installer. How can I update my database?

Re: Upgrade using host script

I do not seem to have access to the ZC installer.

From a "full set" Zen Cart ver 1.3.8 FTP the zc_install to your site's directory, then follow the "upgrade" doc instructions! UPGRADE DATABASE ONLY!!!!

When you are finished, delete the zc_install folder.

Re: Upgrade using host script

Using host scripts to upgrade is not recommended. Your site may appear to work properly, but you risk there being some unpleasant surprises waiting around the corner.

To upgrade your database you will need to download the latest release package (assuming that's what you host's script upgraded you to) and copy the zc_install folder to your site. You'll then need to run the index.php file in that folder and select the upgrade option. When you've finished, remember to delete or rename the folder for security.
