5.7.3.1 installation won't allow updates

Permalink
I have a C5.7 installation that won't allow me to update Concrete5. When I go to the Update Concrete5 page it says "Currently Running 5.7.3.1" "No updates available".

I've tried uploading a concrete5.7.4.2 folder to the updates/ folder on the site and cannot get the prompt to install the "downloaded" update.

I have also tried the manual update steps listed (http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/how-to-manually-upgrade-concrete5-5.7/). There last step there goes to the update page directly but even here it says there's nothing to update.

Any suggestions are most appreciated!

This is what i would try:

- Log in as admin
- Start the ftp client
- Upload the new directory "concrete" as "concrete_new"
- Rename the old directory "concrete" to "concrete_old"
- Rename the new directory "concrete_new" to "concrete"
- Open the file /application/config/update.php in an editor and empty the array (otherwise it's pointing to the old version) or just delete it

- In the browser, open my.domain/index.php/ccm/system/upgrade

Now you should be able to upgrade.

- If all went well, finally delete the old directory "concrete_old"

I suppose, in your case the problem may be the wrong version set in /application/config/update.php (which defines which version in the directory /updates is activated).
