Problem after upgrading to 1.2.5

[L. Brett Sinclair]

Hello
I upgraded last night from 1.1 to 1.2.5 my 2d shop.
I have tested the procedure locally without any problem in the past few weeks without a problem.
Now when I go to my admin, a lot of things are messed up: unable to change languages, textbox missing..
I'm stuck on a production environment !
I've tried to copy each directory and files from my PC to the server - so far no success.
I have no error shown by the installer.
Do you have any idea what files must I copy again in order for it to work again.
Thank you all for your kind help.

Did you keep any backups from before you started the upgrade?

Do you have a backup of the database?

There may have been a problem upgrading the database, in which case you have two options.

1) Restore the old database and try it again.
2) Try to fix the database, which can be a difficult job to do.

Unbelievable...it was missing some html in mails directory ?????
WTF !
now moving on to the "fantom" orders and customer tab not accessible .

is there a free tool to compare the structure of 2 MySQL database ?

[Degsey]

you could try winmerge to compare the database files

I used the PHPMyadmin, the data dictionary using Araxis (tool to compare).
I have the following difference between a new prestashop DB and mine:
- TABLE ps_blocklink in my DB but not in the PS DB: Normal since PS is doesn't have any CMS pages and I do.
- TABLE ps_cart : field id_guest in my DB allow Null = YES ; Default = Null - in the PS DB: No Null allowed <--- WHICH ONE IS CORRECT ? if not NULL, then what's the default value for the old carts ?
- TABLE ps_cms_lang : field content is defined as "text" while in the PS DB as "longtext"<--- WHICH ONE IS CORRECT ?

- TABLE ps_statssearch exists in the PS DB not in Mine <--- WHICH ONE IS CORRECT ?

Some fields are not in the same order in some tables, I would not think it makes a difference ? or does it ?

Again, thank you in advance for the help.

Update the language you are using in the shop:
admin. your language etc...
Than everything works again.
i was also fighting this issue, but after that everything works fine now.

Topic moved.

Why post it in "General discussion" as it clearly concerns "upgrade".
Soon, this kind of topic will be instantly deleted.
