Greetings to all.

I don't want to sound stupid, but in preperations for moving to 2.2milestone 2 or when it's officially released (I think I'll just wait the extra days). It came accross to me that I don't know exactly which version of OSC I'm running.

Can anyone tell me what the easiest way to find out is?

Thank you very much.
Ivan

if you look in the cvs folder and open up the 'tag' file it should tell you the version

Thanks for such a prompt response.

Is there any other way to tell, is this stored in a variable somewhere. I don't think that I have a cvs folder. Or can you tell me where it is usually located?

I installed the software from a cd that a colleague burned for me and do not believe that a folder named cvs was included.

Thanks again.

Well I guess I'm screwed, cause I don't have any of them. They must have been removed prior to burning the cd. From what I've been reading it seems that it'll be best to start with a fresh install of 2.2 MS2 anyways which is what I'll do when it's finally realeased.

Does this mean that I'll also have to start with a fresh database or can the database be migrated/upgraded but all application files start new?

I really appreciate all of your help.

Thanks.

Well i guess you dont have to wait too soon 2.2MS2 [url]http://www.oscommerce.com/downloads/milestones[/url]

This is the current stable version!

2.2CVS is the current ongoing version from MS2

Yes you will probably be able to save your database, just compare it to the database fileds in MS2 and add any missing tables or fields!

Hi there, this might be a little late but if you open catalog/application_top.php and scroll down a little you will find the following lines of code;

[code]// define the project version
define('PROJECT_VERSION', 'osCommerce 2.2-MS1');[/code]

This will tell you your version of oscommerce (in the case above its MS1)

But it does not tell you which Snapshot it is. Which is probably more important than anything else...

Thanks!!! That's exactly what I was looking for. In my case I'm still running 2.2-CVS. I went live and am having no problems thus far, I believe that I will stay with this version until MS2 is finally fully released as you said it should be very soon.

I really appreciate all of your help.

Thank you very much.
