Upgrades

 My boyfriend has a free dolphin site (no license) and he is trying to upgrade. Do you have to have a paid license to upgrade your dolphin version? Because he is trying to upgrade from 7.1 to 7.1.1 and everything works until step 3 in the upgrade instructions where it says to delete the 3 different files. They are non-existent in the path where the upgrade instruction say they should be. He thought maybe because he has the free version he is not able to upgrade.

 That will not matter...

As newton pointed out. The license does not matter.

You did not specify the full version number being upgraded from. This is what you said.

upgrade from 7.1 to 7.1.1 and everything

I am going to have to assume the 7.1 without the 3'rd digit means dolphin 7.1.0. I do not like to assume anything. You should always specify versions using all 3 digits.

Under that assumption, i checked a dolphin archive of that version of dolphin for the file inc/js/jquery_ajax.js and it was indeed there, and should be on his install as well. If it's not, then either it is being over looked. Just not seeing it, or the version of dolphin being updated from is not 7.1.0. In any case, look again.

And if not found, it will not do any harm if they are not deleted. But the fact that they could not be found indicates to me the version of dolphin being upgraded from is not 7.1.0

Hello,

Does anyone know why these following files don't exist then? I did notice that there is a 7.1 beta version. When you login in to his admin section it just says he has version 7.1. Nothing about beta. So he is just trying to go from 7.1 to 7.1.1. He is not trying to do the beta upgrade because it doesn't say beta in admin, just 7.1. Thanks everybody!

plugins/jquery/jquery.dimensions.js

Sorry Deano,

I was typing while you were responding. He just did the one - click install and in his admin section it just says he has version 7.1. It doesn't use 3 digits, just those two, 7.1

Then check in inc/header.inc.php

The 3'rd digit will be in that file in the line starting with $site['build']

Chances are if those files are not there, then the site is already running dolphin 7.1.1 or higher.

If you only know of two digits, then you cannot assume anything and no upgrades should be attempted until the full version is known. Because if a update patch for a older version is applied over a newer version it will damage the site.

The full current version of the site must be known before attempting a upgrade.

For better accuracy in determining installed version the following SQL run from phpMyAdmin will return the 3 digit version.

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

Hello,

Thank you! I just did that he will be glad to know why his upgrade is not working. It is because he has site build number "3". So I guess that means he has version 7.1.3! Unfortunately he probably overwrote a bunch of files and screwed everything by using the 7.1.1 patch. Can he just safely upload the 7.1.3 to 7.1.4 patch files and overwrite the files he has now and continue with the 7.1.3 to 7.1.4 instructions? Or, did he just screw up his site by overwriting those files?

Kindest Regards,

 Yes, jump to the 7.1.4 update files.

Thanks Deano!

i would have to say the database is a bit messed up now if he ran the 7.1.1 patch  but i could be wrong.
