SQL Error when trying to upgrade

[gordontaylor]

During the upgrade process (within the Admin Panel)  it's asking for an Encryption key. I don't have one, so it gives me the following error.

2014-01-27 14:01:34 - Error: Can't create sql dump of database during backup

I tried setting one via the System>Settings>System menu, but to no avail.

I can do a manual back up from the control panel.

What to do!

Gordon,  you must have missed this when you initially installed - the very last thing on an installation is this Message with a Key in it.  At least there was on mine.

You can find the key in /system/config.php then look for the line  define('SALT', 'xxxx');
that should do it for you.

My man!

[gordontaylor]

No Joy, I put the 4 digit code in, says it's invalid. Still can't create SQL dump.

[gordontaylor]

As soon as I click Agree on the install, I get that error that it can't create an SQL dump, there is where it's asking for An installation Key

It's not asking for any of the Database Configuration information.

Now getting this error

Error: Cannot download file. Repository error or invalid extension key. Try one more time. If problem persist download file in your order history and install manually.

Must be because I'm using the wrong key?

Seems like there are changing something on the download at the moment.  There is no update available on my Admin panel right now,  and if I go to  Download link on the Documentation I get a notice that 1.1.i could not be found or is not available. 

So maybe just give it a few and watch the board.  I'll give you a shout back when I see the ability for upgrade return to my system.

The joys of change!?!?!

Yep, growing pains!!!

Man do I love this cart!

wow, you could do an update from within the admin?
I didn't find any such option so I just did the manual upgrade.
Maybe you try that too?

Good luck!

@cookie, there was a message within my admin panel, but it's gone now. Must be something wrong with the installer, I think they're fixing it.

You can to upgrade Abantecart with installation key mask "abantecart_upgrade_xxx" where xxx is next version of cart without dots.
For ex. : to upgrade Abantecart v1.1.7 up to 1.1.8 you need go to menu Extensions->install extension and paste key abantecart_upgrade_118

Same issue....


Error: Can't create sql dump of database during backup.

Screen shot attached.

The info you gave is already pre-filled during the upgrade process. This error comes after you click all the agree buttons.

regarding    Error: Can't create sql dump of database during backup

actually it's not an fatal error but some critical situation. We decided to to give critical status cause cart owner needs to know all about install and upgrade process to prevent this in the future.

In your case i guess you have some file permission restrictions.. If you did backup before upgrade it's not important for you:)

[gordontaylor]

Yes, I did a manual back up first....however, that error won't let me proceed with the upgrade.

I haven't installed any protections on my database.

When I try to proceed, I get this error

[gordontaylor]

Checked my cPanel, DB checks OK, no protections on it.
