I use powweb.com as a host and osc 2.2ms2. Domain is superior-scientific.com. powweb upgraded to mysql5 and my site is no longer working.

I'm looking to pay someone to fix this. Any suggestions of what this might cost or where I can find someone to help.

Thanks.

apply the last osCommerce version RC1 that has the necessary fixes for compatibility with mysql5

How difficult is it to apply the latest update RC1 to my site? Several modifications have been done to the current site that I don't wish to lose. Are there people that would do the upgrade for me? Where would I find them?

Thanks.

Just checked your site - and caught the error

1054 - Unknown column 'p.products_id' in 'on clause'

select count(p.products_id) as total from products_description pd, products p left join manufacturers m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id, products_to_categories p2c left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' and p2c.categories_id = '134'

Good part is You can fix this yourself

Search for "left join"

left join manufacturers m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id

Modify it to make sure that first value after ON is equal to table reference in left join ie. instead of p.manufacturers_id switch values as

left join manufacturers m on m.manufacturers_id = p.manufacturers_id

so it reads like LEFT JOIN Table <Name> on <NAME>. ....

Similarly another left join in query above is

left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id

So the culprit here is specials s on p.products_id
Convert it as

specials s on s.products_id = p.products_id [interchange s and p or whichever is used... in your specific query]

and your site would be back to normal...
hope that helps,

products_to_categories p2c left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id

the p.=s. join will not work placed after the p2c table, it needs to be shifted right behing the p table

I could show you with original code, even better, follow the upgrade instructions that were published in the old version:

Thanks for correction !!!

np! as I learned coding with ms sql server & oracle, I never learned to make the "lax" joins that mysql4 allowed, so they jump into my face immediately ;-)
