3.3.5 update sees wrong version

Post by fkreynolds »

Hello,

I'm trying to update my forum from 3.3.4 to 3.3.5. The ACP and the database have 3.3.4 listed as the version number but the install says that it sees 3.3.3 and can't do the update because it's for the wrong version. What should I check to find out where and why the installer sees 3.3.3? Thank you.

Thank you for the response. That field lists 3.3.4 as the version number.

/includes/constants.php but this is not the issue, you should replace all files accordingly to the version you want to update to.

I understand the concept of replacing version appropriate files. I've been able to successfully update versions from 3.3.1 through 3.3.4 when they came out. Surely there are places other than constants.php where the install script(s) might be seeing an incorrect version number?

The database updater only looks in your database to see its version number. Since you have replaced all of your files, they should already be up to the newest version, but the database updater wouldn't be checking those anyway.

Not sure what other solutions may exist but we ended up deleting the "version update from" value in the config table. Everything works now.
