Manually Upgrading From Cs-Cart 4.3.5 To 4.3.7 Error

Hi,

I've been having problems upgrading CS-Cart from the upgrade centre due to a problem about PHP timeout settings message.

To get around the problem i downloaded and installed CS-Cart 4.3.7 in a sub folder. I then restored my current database and copied across the 'images' folder.

Everything looks ok, but when i try to add a product to the cart i get the message: ' Error Oops, something went wrong (Service Temporarily Unavailable). Please try again.'

Also when i try to access the admin page i get a 'Service unavailable' sign

Thanks in advance

In almost every version of cs-cart, the DB schema changes. Hence you can't just restore or copy the DB and expect things to work. You might be able to manually apply the *.sql scripts from each upgrade to your DB, but then why not just address the timeout issues you're having?

Enable error reporting and enable the disable_dhtml option in the config.local.php file to see error message

You cannot restore 435 DB in to 437!

Below I wrote steps how to upgrade on subfoder since I did not check the issue fully :) so wont erase it.

Have you updated config.local.php to reflect sub folder change?

// Host and directory where software is installed on no-secure server
$config['http_host'] = 'www.domain.com';
$config['http_path'] = '/NEW_FOLDER';

Also clear out /var/cache/

For front end to work you need to update

admin.php?dispatch=companies.update&company_id=1

Storefront URL to www.domain.com/NEW_FOLDER

I resolved my issue not being able to upgrade using the upgrade centre by disabling the backup from running before the upgrade, see post at http://forum.cs-cart.com/topic/40701-431-to-432-upgrade-how-to-disable-automatic-database-backup-while-updating/
