Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released

Vladimir, There is a basic flaw in your argument: - the admin password shouldn't even MATTER to an xcart admin. It may as well be "password" - why? Because any store that actually wants to have a secure admin is also going to use at least 2 other modes of admin security: 1. https password 2. IP restriction Once you have #1 and #2 in place, the admin password is kinda irrelevant. Was there a sudden demand from xcart customers for this change? Was there a need for this because weak passwords were compromising xcart stores? My daughter does this kind of stuff when she doesn't want to clean her room. She'll do every possible thing except clean her freaking room. We need x-cart engineering to squash bugs. We do not need new features. Please?

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
They tell me to downgrade, then upgrade carefully. I have done in now twice. I do that and it appears to upgrade, then logs me out and I can't log back in. The database still shows 4.5.4 even though I manually applied the patch.
I'm about to pull out my hair with this, they're not really helping me at all, just giving me suggestions. WTF!?!?! I've never had anything like this, nor have I ever seen them so hands off, even after paying for a hot rush. I guess I'm on my own here!

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
Upgrading XC was a nightmare from the very beginning. Especially when you do custom work too much. Please use a test server before uploading new versions over your functional one. When you do the job and everything works as expected make a backup of your online version and put it o a CD/DVD/...
Your rage comes from your mind, you just let us know you are loosing money already. Just relax, put your 4.5.4 back as it was before and start upgrading on a work/test version. Quote:

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
Just an advice, even it could eat too much time. Every time a new release is coming, I prefer to install it than upgrading. Then customize it according to my notes I already have in text files. Generally it takes 2 days, but nothing wrong is going with automatically patching. DB is intact, files the same, no pull out of the hair. Yes, XC upgrade is difficult to do, especially when you did lot of customization, modules, and so on.

It seems your Social login module was not upgraded. Check if you have the following lines in your var/upgrade/4.5.4-4.5.5/patch.log file Code:

There are no SQL query like UPDATE xcart_config SET `value` = "4.5.5" WHERE `name` = "version"; in the patch.sql file You have to use the usual Patch/Upgrade center to upgrade your store.

This is what I prefer as well. I always keep a detailed changelog so I can go back and repeat changes I have made. I just feel better doing a clean install rather than trying to patch/upgrade. I see so many users reporting all sorts of nightmares when they patch/upgrade. I just like to start fresh. It does take more time, though, and has caused me several "false starts."

Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released
I did that through my store, everything seemed to patch fine but when it was done it logged out and I could never log back in. If I looked at the database version it still showed 4.5.4 but the files were 4.5.5. So tried to figure out a way to manually upgrade the database, patched it but no, it still wouldn't work. You could log in as a customer but not as admin.
I finally threw in the towel, I figure I wasted a good 15 hours on it, plus $139 on a "hot rush" ticket which did basically nothing. Not real thrilled with this experience. I see at least one other guy having the same problem on other threads so perhaps it's not just me.

Kevin, I can appreciate your frustration. I sure hope you are able to press a button and restore, to live another day? Not that this will help you if you didn't do that -- I always make a point of planning my upgrade strategy, and making a roadmap of the process before I even think about modifying a file. http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=66105 We learned that admin passwords can no longer be "simple". So it's probably best to change them before the upgrade. I will add to the upgrade roadmap: install a virgin copy of 4.5.5 and play with it on a default database to see if there's anything interesting or surprises. Another technique is to have the actual 4.5.5 files (virgin) available, use them in place of your patched files (edit file.lst to exclude these from the upgrade script). YES -- there will be some files that need patching - but if you are careful and only working on a clone, you have very little to lose since you can simply walk away and try again. I sure hope you are not working on a live store.
