Comments on: Magento connect pear upgraded wrong Magento site! http://allanbrown.me/magento/magento-connect-pear-upgraded-wrong-magento-site/ Proramming, Magento and me Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:31:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Allan Brown http://allanbrown.me/magento/magento-connect-pear-upgraded-wrong-magento-site/comment-page-1/#comment-9931 Allan Brown Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:47:09 +0000 http://allanbrown.me/?p=33#comment-9931 I had issues trying to upgrade to 1.4 also, both with Magento Connect and the upgrade itself. I found there were three PEAR files I had to change to get the upgrade to complete. These were in the pearlib folder you mention above, pear, peardev and pecl. The issue with changing the paths manually in these files are that they contain a charcount in the files so this also needs to be changed. Unfortunately I don't remember how I sorted this, however this thread may be relevant: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/3379/P15/ Hope it helps.

Had to resolve to backups to fix it. Doing it again, and trying my best not to break the live site again. the pear downloader seems to cache paths in a lot of files. ./pear mage-setup . takes care of the pear.ini file but there are a few other places that have the static path. these are mostly in the downloader/pearlib/php folder. i tried search and replacing the path. but then the upgrade does not work. so finally replaced the downloader folder with a fresh copy downloaded from the magento website. had to then use ./pear install rather than upgrade-all. now when i try to load the site, it is trying to recreate the database - which i cant let it do.. i want it to upgrade my existing DB. any thoughts?

Doing it again, and trying my best not to break the live site again. the pear downloader seems to cache paths in a lot of files.

./pear mage-setup .
takes care of the pear.ini file but there are a few other places that have the static path. these are mostly in the downloader/pearlib/php folder.
i tried search and replacing the path. but then the upgrade does not work.

so finally replaced the downloader folder with a fresh copy downloaded from the magento website. had to then use ./pear install rather than upgrade-all.

now when i try to load the site, it is trying to recreate the database – which i cant let it do.. i want it to upgrade my existing DB.

any thoughts?
