updating from 2.6.5 to Latest not running
attempting to update from 2.6.5 to latest is not running, also not helping when using /perch/core/update. I understand I am jumping from a 2 year old version to latest, am I missing something? When I login in it still tells me the install is old: 2.6.5
We would need to know the steps you have followed so far. Also can we see your Diagnostics Report?

I copied the core folder to the server and logged in.
Are you sure you've copied the files to the right place?
Hi Drew, yes in the Perch Folder, the server is telling me it was modified today...
Strongly enough it is happening with both the staging site and the production site. They are in subdomains on the same server
Do you have a server side cache in place?
I can't answer that as the webmaster is elsewhere. Would / could this be causing the problem?
If I give ..../perch/core/update/ it jumps direct to the login page
If the diagnostics report is showing 2.6.5, then the web server is still serving 2.6.5 files.
My suspicion would be that somehow the web server isn't pointing to the folder you think it is. Whatever the cause, it's not something I can help you with - you'll need to speak to your host or server admin.
Hi Drew, I have checked the server is not running server side cache. The development site is updated to the latest the Production site is still not updating.
I have tried to force the update, no luck. I have copied, deleted, re-copied, re-deleted no luck
after looking at the two Databases the development DB has 43 tables and the Production 42, the one missing is Perch2_user_passwords.
What options do I have, can I run a new install without losing any data?
If the diagnostics report is showing 2.6.5, then the web server is still serving 2.6.5 files.
Hi Drew, Hi Rachel, seems it was my fault - I had not checked all my local settings. Sorry. Thank you kindly for your help though - you rock!
