Upgrading CE from 1.9.2.2 to 1.9.2.4

Question

We have no changes to core files.

I am trying to upgrade a remote development site from 1.9.2.2 to 1.9.2.4.

After making a backup of all files, I uploaded the contents of the magento folder in magento-1.9.2.4-2016-02-23-06-03-22.zip to the web root.

After the upload was complete, I loaded the front end home page URL, then checked the back end, and the version remained @ 1.9.2.2.

Nothing was broken, but wondering what final step I need to do to complete the upgrade?

Answer 1

To confirm you have upgraded all your code you can check your app/Mage.php file to confirm your new version is in place.

cat app/Mage.php | grep version -A 12

This will return a string that gives you the version number from Magento

 public static function getVersionInfo()
    {
        return array(
            'major'     => '1',
            'minor'     => '9',
            'revision'  => '3',
            'patch'     => '3',
            'stability' => '',

To confirm all your cache is cleared you can remove the files in your var/cache folder as well as making sure REDIS or Memcache is cleared
