How to fix after upgrade

I currently have 7.1.3.  I accidentally used the upgrade patch 7.1.1.  Then I tried loading patch 7.1.3 again.  I get a message "unable to upgrade".  I tried upgrading 7.1.2 get the message "unable to upgrade".  I tried 7.1.4 "unable to upgrade"

The site still works fine but I'm noticing that I'm getting a lot more fake profiles.

How / what do I need to do to to upgrade to 7.1.4

Thank You

First we need to know how far you got.

Just uploading files?

When you went to yoursite/upgrade did any of the upgrades ever show as available and did you run any of them, or did that all show unable to upgrade.

Then we need two things.

First look in inc/header.inc.php for these lines.
$site['ver']
$site['build']

What are your current values.

Next run this SQL in phpMyAdmin.

SELECT `VALUE` FROM `sys_options` WHERE `Name`='sys_tmp_version'

What is the value returned from that?

If that last test shows 7.1.4 then your already at 7.1.4 and would explain why your seeing unable to upgrade when you tried uploading those files. Many people actually forget what the last version they upgraded to actually was. But that sql query will tell you the actual version that you have installed.

 Do you have your site backed up before upgrade? Then simply roll it back from the backup and do normal upgrade.

 Inc/header.inc.php shows as version 7.3

phpmyadmin shows as version 7.3 (beta)

any other ideas why I cannot upgrade to 7.4

BTW, I meant 7.1.3  and 7.1.3 (beta)

Yea. The problem is when you upgraded to 7.1.3 you used the beta version instead of waiting for the final.

So what do I need to do to fix?  I don't know if it was a coincidence but after checking what version I have (using phpmyadmin); now my Boonex site does not load any RSS feed and the homepage layout is different. 

 Did you back your site up before updating?

Boonexpert, if I had a backup; I wouldn't be here.  Yeah, I get it.

Unfortunately the backup I have is the 7.1.3 (beta) which I'm guessing is the issue.  At the time, I did not know this was going to be a issue.

Do you have any core files modifications on your site? If not, maybe it would be easier to install fresh new Dolphin and transfer database, templates, mods and files from the old one?

 Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.  I don't have any core file mods.  Is there step-by-step instructions somewhere to transfer database, templates, mods and files?

Well, basically you have to install fresh Dolphin into the new database (to not overwrite existing one), then copy data files from every module you have and reconnect it to the old database. Please don't forget to make a backup this time.

You may not need to.

Make a backup just incase something goes wrong.

But after, change the database entry in sys_options. The sys_tmp_version entry from the value of 7.1.3.Beta to just 7.1.3

Then upload all of the dolphin 7.1.4 upgrade files.  You should then be able to upgrade. As long as there are no serious differences in the database between the beta and the final then it may upgrade without any problems.

But as i said. Make a backup first so you can roll back just in case.

Lesson learned. Never use a beta on a production site.

 deano92964 you saved the day again.  I followed your instructions and worked like a charm.  Site now updated to 7.1.4 with no issues.   I will not be upgrading to BETA anymore.

Thanks again

 I have been chasing this problem on one site since we went from .3 to .4

Never would I have ever looked there or even close.

Thanks Deano!!
