Trying to upgrade and database needs patching

Hi all!

i am trying to upgrade and I used Fantastico to do so. Everything is a mess now! All my extra pages are gone.. all my home pages are gone.. and everything. the only thing that stayed was the content of my site.

however.. my current problem is that I get this message:
Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Admin->Tools->Server Information to review patch levels.

What do I do?? Please help!

Re: Trying to upgrade and database needs patching

It sounds like using Fantastico overwrote your original install. :(

As for the database, I suggest downloading 1.3.7, unzipping it locally, FTPing the zc_install folder to your domain and using zc_install to check the database version and run the upgrade. Be careful when you do this. You aren't doing an install. You want to run the db upgrade only.
