Rolling back a module upgrade
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2024 2:32 am
Hi after doing a DB and file system backup, I have just upgraded from CMSMS v2.2.18 to v2.2.19 just to keep everything up to date.
Also, the Hosting Co I use have an imminent end date on PHP8.0 so I also updated to PHP8.1. Toured the website and Admin back end - all good.
Next step was do upgrades for any outstanding module updates available. After each quick check functionality. Upgrading CMSMSExt from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 exposed some problems - probably not faults in CMSMSExt, rather doubtless some (aging) modules that are dependant upon CMSMSExt. So as a quick fix I attempted to roll back the CMSMSExt upgrade (so that I can do proper diagnostics in a test system).
I deleted the v1.4.5 version of /modules/CMSMSExt/*
And replaced it with the v1.4.1. version of /modules/CMSMSExt/*
I also edited the entry in _modules table to set the version back to 1.4.1
So to my query - in module manager, for CMSMSExt in the version column it still shows 1.4.5 and in status it includes the comment "Database Version Newer". I have done another backup of the DB then scanned it and can't find where module manager is getting that info from ?
Where is module manager getting that info ?
TIA
