Been a few days, any word on the jump patches Alex?

The jump patches should be available in customers' "File Area" sections now.

I am attempting to patch to 4.1.10 through the admin interface. Everything is backed up and ready to go, but when I click on the upgrade to apply it I get the memory allocation error message below. Is it normal to require so much memory to patch old versions through the admin interface? I realize 79 MB is not a lot by today's standards, but when default settings for PHP are typically 8 or 16 MB, 79 is way beyond the typical configuration of a PHP/MySQL/Apache server.

When i try and upgrade from 4.1.9 to 4.1.10 all i keep getting when trying to apply the upgrade patch in admin area is:

Error

File /var/www/vhosts/bitzdirect.com/httpdocs/computers/skin1/.skin_descr was corrupted or missing.

Whatever this is as i am not aware of a .skin_descr file

The file .skin_descr is a file that provides X-Cart with extra info about your skin. If you're using a custom skin, you likely don't have that file, which is likely why you experienced an error.

It's actually surprising to see that much memory being used. The patch file isn't forcing 79mb, it's actually forcing 16mb (which annoys me as it doesn't check to see if a higher limit was already specified before forcing it's 16mb limit). So the 79mb is likely occurring just due to the number of patch files itself, and possibly there is some bug that is forcing memory to go too high on your installation.

I am sure that I have the permissions set wrong somewhere but I cannot locate where.

Has anyone else ran into this?

Look in your /var/log/ directory, any current error files? (they are listed by date)
If you find error files, what are the errors? Did you receive any errors during the patch process?

If you get a .skin_descr error (as I did today) - create a new file with that name and add this to it:

layout=
color=
dingbats=

Then upload it to your skin1 directory...that'll get you past that error.
