2Nd Upgrade Fails To Start - Stays In Loop V4.3.4 - V4.3.5

We experienced some issues upgrading our development store which is an exact clone of our live production store. We were missing the restore.php file that normally resides in the /var/upgrade folder.

I copied the restore.php file from another CS Cart install and got the process working. After the update from V4.3.3 to 4.3.4 we got a "Csrf Attack" notification and I countered that by following a thread that described an experience of fellow CS Cart license owner. -
http://forum.cs-cart.com/topic/44656-after-update-cs-cart-to-434-csrf-attacked/?hl=csrf+attack&fromsearch=1

But following the advice in this thread now prevents my development store from properly updating our store and it seems to keep the site in sort of loop.

Before everyone jumps the bandwagon... I already checked file permissions and cleared the cache many times over.

Strangely enough I am able to order a product in this store and checkout just fine.

I already did again this monday by reopening a previous ticket.

One thing I would do to omit a possible redirect issue is to disable SSL. I don't know why you need SSL for a development site anyway.? Delete /var/cache/ then go to the Upgrade center and Refresh package list. Try to install again.

With all the issues you are having it is hard to figure out from this end whereas I am just guessing.

You remark concerning why would I need an SSL for just development site I say well because it is the same database as my live store but really update to date as the live one. For security purposes.

As for your remedy :

elete /var/cache/ then go to the Upgrade center and Refresh package list.

I tried it but that did not do it for me either

PS trying to disable SSL right now, I just cannot do it, the store will not allow me to.

Hi, any ideas what your average lead time is currently ? It is has been over 48 hours now.

Okay SOLVED -

Guys let me write what was the culprit here:

Hi
We managed to solve our issues with the developer store and thus also our live production store.
The first few things we encountered was a missing restore.php file in the var/upgrade directory.
The second after an upgrade to V4.3.4 was a script.tpl that was not updated to V4.3.4 ,
located in directory design/backend/templates/common/
The root cause of our misery for the past week and a half.
Thanks to Cart Power's Ruslan Khanbikov the cause was easily found.
Please take a note for future clients that might want to upgrade to check these issues.
Yours truly,
Anthony

PS do make sure you have a V4.3.4 script.tpl file at hand or if you know how to manually update the file.. you can do it yourself.
