I apologise if i have not followed proper support request protocal but this is the first time i have needed help and am having trouble navigating.

I initially installed 1.3.3 via fantastico and bridged it to work with my phpbb2 (.17). Worked fine, no problems.
Upgraded to 1.3.4 via fantastico two weeks ago, had to redo bridge and then amend some issues with user list link going to the wrong place. Easily fixed.

Now i have had my site suspended due to mysql abuse, apparently things were not closing properly. We are back online but only on the understanding that we fix the problem ASAP.  I came here and saw the announcement regarding 1.3.5, could this be the likely problem?

I have downloaded, 1.3.5 and unpacked it, following the instructions regarding upgrade that i found in the (docs/index.htm) Have backed up my albums folder and my database. 

I have to do this manually as fantastico on my server only has 1.3.4.

My understanding is that i need to upload and over write everything except for albums folder, include/config.inc.php file, and anycontent.php file

I can do that, however will this amend the issues i am having mysql?

Could i fix this by overwriting the current  init.inc.php file with the new one from 1.3.5 and re-doring my bridge and then wait until fantastico has the new version of coppermine to update it then. I'd rather touch as little as possible with my own hand.

We are not in a position to answer any questions related to fantastico, it is nothing to do with us. We can only recommend that you follow the upgrade documentation provided. There are no mysql usage related issues with Coppermine 1.3.x, the culprit likely lies elsewhere.

No, that's bull. That's not an actual upgrade, just a change of the version display. You could as well use a pencil to draw "1.3.5" on to your screen - wouldn't be an actual update. Don't use fantastico at all. To tell details about mySQL stuff, post a link to your site, you probably have a detail level set much to high - not related to the upgrade at all.

I followed the instructions on upgrading 1.3.4 to 1.3.5 but I seem to be having problems when I go to the update.php page I get

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS cpg134_filetypes ( extension char(7) NOT NULL default '', mime char(30) default NULL, content char(15) default NULL, KEY extension (extension) ) TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='Used to store the file extensions'

Also in my database when I look at my table headings for coppermine, I am getting 1.3.4. I wonder what I am doing wrong.

Basically how do I make it say 1.3.5 instead of 1.3.4. I had to upgrade all my whole site and I am kind of stuck.

[Nibbler]

The version number is in include/init.inc.php. If the version number does not change then you have not updated that file. (Note that replacing that file does not mean you have updated Coppermin - all files must be updated and you must run update.php for an update to be complete.)

[ctcentralinfo]

In the config section it says:

Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.3.5

Does this mean that it has ben upgraded. And if so how come my database table entries say 1.3.4

[Tranz]

Are you talking about the table name prefix?

[ctcentralinfo]

Yes.

[Nibbler]

Tablename prefixes are not updated during an update, they remain the same as when you installed originally.

[ctcentralinfo]

So I guess everything is cool then.
