Error 404 when upgrading from 1.1.11 to 1.1.12

[Proenski]

How do I solve the following problem: I want to upgrade my forum from 1.1.11 to 1.1.12 so I downloaded the small update package uploaded it and browsed to www.myforum.com/board only to get the message that the upgrade.php can't be found...??

The file is there; I can access it via FTP.

I've set the permissions of the folders (attachment, Themes, Packages) and files (settings.php) correctly. So what else could it be?

Is your forum and the upgrade script in the root or the board directory?

[Illori]

you added /upgrade.php to your forum url and it was not found?

according to the parse of the package manager update there are no database changes made in this update

http://custom.simplemachines.org/upgrades/index.php?action=upgrade;file=smf_patch_1.0.20_1.1.12.tar.gz;smf_version=1.1.11

They are in the board directory.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this comment. Even though there are no changes made to the database at least I should be able to update the php files, right?

[Illori]

if you copied the files from your local pc to your server then the update is done given that there are no database changes in the file i linked.

Not really...

My forum still shows this at the admin section:

Version Information:
Forum version: SMF 1.1.11
Current SMF version: SMF 1.1.12

and I have run updates before (running this board since Yabbse days); I always have to run the upgrade.php to make the changes...

[Illori]

the majority of the changes are done just by uploading the files, this is sounding more like an issue with your host then an issue with the script itself.

Ok, but what do I tell the host so they can straighten this out?? Because I'm pretty darn sure they are gonna point the finger at the software vendor unless I can tell them what they are doing wrong...

[Masterd]

Did you tried to install this as a mod?

No, what does it do? Call me stupid but the .mod extension gets recognized by my system as a Windows media player file %-)

[Illori]

you just upload the zip to the package manager and then apply the update.

I did, it gave a warning with 3 files or so but apart from that it said it was done succesful. However in the admin section I still get the warning that a few files from Sources are not up to date (even when I upload them manually...). How do I fix that?

DumpDatabase.php   1.1           1.1.12
ManageSearch.php   1.1.2   1.1.12
ManageSmileys.php   1.1.11   1.1.12
News.php                   1.1           1.1.12
PackageGet.php   1.1.11   1.1.12
Subs-Package.php   1.1.5   1.1.12

[Masterd]

Well, if everything is all right then you don't need to worry.

[Proenski]

Not really worried but is there any way I can "re-set" this faulty notification in the admin panel?

[Masterd]

This feature gets informations from the files, so you can't "reset" it. You need to change that informations in the files.

[Illori]

as long as your forum works I would not worry about those messages. trying to fix could cause more problems then it is worth depending on the fix.

That's what I find weird because the info in the files says the correct version 1.1.12 so why doesn't that get picked up upon??

[Masterd]

It's very easy to fix that.

Just find this in every file:

Code Select Expand

// Version: 1.1

And replace with this:

Code Select Expand

// Version: 1.1.12

PS: Is this your forum? It still say "Powered by SMF 1.1.11".

LOL, yeah it is. That's what I've been trying to tell you... It says 1.1.11 but when I download for example the Dumpdatabase file is says this:
