Because I can no longer run the site (PHP server upgrade), I can't view the site to find out what version it is to apply the database update files that are a part of the EZ Publish distribution. Identifying newer versions of EZ Publish seems to be easy enough - its in the ezsite_data table of the database, but this does not exist on the database I've got. Does anyone know how to identify the version number of a 3.3/3.4 site by looking at site or database content? Thanks

Also, we made a change to some of our sites that were hosted on a server that was upgraded to PHP 4.4 unexpectedly, and got them to run again by suppressing the errors. I will try to find out what changes we made and post them. http://www.thinkcreative.com Turning Ideas Into Strategic Solutions
