shaununouk Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hello Dirty Butter, Thanks for the welcome, I have done a couple of upgrades as been working on the website since April or May 2017, usually have just done the auto upgrades when admin page said required.

Dirty Butter Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 That might be an issue, as a bug crept into the auto install when they started adding the CSRF hardening. It would be best if you followed the directions for the manual install for 6.1.8. It's supposed to be fixed from 6.1.8 on. Be sure the 6.1.8 version of the files is in the admin_XXX folder and admin_XXX file that matches what is in your includes/global.inc.php AND there are no other named admin folders/files.

shaununouk Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks for that Info and your help, I will do a manual reinstall for the 6.1.8 as the global.in.php is showing two different admin.XXXX folders with the first few lines.

Dirty Butter Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 INSIDE global.inc.php there should be reference to an admin_XXX folder on one line and an admin_XXX.php file name on the next. Is that what you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaununouk Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Yes, I have the two references in global.inc.php but pointing to different admin folders, eg admin.a1234 on the first line and admin.z0987 on the second line. I have done a manual install again via FTP on 6.1.8 but software said I have already updated to the latest version. Am I able to manually update backward, back to 6,1,7 and might wait for another update later in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 You can edit the global.inc.php file to remove the erroneous admin folder. You want to KEEP the admin folder naming that corresponds to the admin folder with 6.1.8 files in it. You will probably have to change permission to make changes to it, and then change back to 444. But be warned that I have NEVER seen a forum post on here with two admin named folders in the global.inc.php folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's me, I am a special type of stupid! I will bring the broken and unusual to the forum. I will have a look at the code line you mentioned.

I agree and I have never seen that before and cant imagine a way, unless manually added, how it could happen Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaununouk Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 No idea how I did it, I did once reinstall a backup in Cpanel when having trouble with my admin login, I think my cart is pretty broken, I don't really wish to continue working on it if not stable or set up right. Can I rollback the cart to an earlier version that just had the simple admin login and not admin.xxxx. I have already invested in the ebay software by noodleman and using that for ebay orders with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Before you basically "give up", it costs $40 I think for one month's tech support from CubeCart. They should be able to go in to your files and database and fix your issues. If you roll back and stay at that level you are leaving yourself open to possible security issues from now on.

Yep, that sounds like a plan, I have invested time and money in the past few months into this cart but never realised I had made major errors on the upgrades. I will look into tech support and see if they can sort it out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenswift-hosting Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The other option is if you are interested in moving your hosting, then we provide free and full support for CubeCart as part of our E-Commerce packages, and can sort this out for you. I will do the migration of your site over to one of our servers for free as well ! Ian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackus Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I have seen Al Brookbanks apology for the upgrade problems, but I still do not know what to do. I am on 6.1.1 so when I click the link to upgrade to 6.1.8 the maintenance page says I am using the latest upgrade already. I am sure in the past when I have done this the auto tool takes over. So does the auto tool still work or do we have to do manual upgrades now? Is there a difinitve answer or is it a case of taking pot luck?

harrisorganic Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I suggest you do a manual upgrade as others have suggested. As DB has suggested you will need to edit includes/global.inc.php to align with your file and folder name. <?php $glob['adminFile'] = 'admin_abcdef.php'; $glob['adminFolder'] = 'admin_XYZABC'; $glob['cache'] = 'file'; $glob['dbdatabase'] = 'database name'; $glob['dbhost'] = 'localhost'; $glob['dbpassword'] = 'password'; $glob['dbport'] = '21'; $glob['dbprefix'] = ''; $glob['dbsocket'] = ''; $glob['dbusername'] = 'username'; $glob['installed'] = '1'; ?> If you think this is too much then I suggest you talk to Ian regarding hosting or subscribe to Cubecart tech support and have them install it. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Until you get to version 6.1.8 you will have to upgrade manually. We're seeing a lot of posters here on the forum who have some newest files and some older files in their install. Sounds like you are one of them. The bug that crept in that is causing the upgrade issues is supposed to be fixed in 6.1.8, so upgrading to 6.19 should work with the admin link to upgrade automatically. For all our sanity's sake I sure hope that turns out to be true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manual upgrade is the only sure way and part of the problem is that trying to upgrade from one specific version (say 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 etc) to the latest version can create different problems which need different solutions. You will have a mix of files at different versions, DB may be at correct or incorrect version and the admin renaming may be messed up - hard to tell without looking at the files via FTP Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
