I am hoping there is a really obvious answer here. I used the admin update centre to successfully update two live web sites. But when I try the same thing on my local dev installation which was the source of both the live web sites if fails. The message at the top of the page says " Update process has been completed successfully." but the orange "update to 1.5.1" button remains and the version (bottom right) stays at 1.2.6. I have repeated this many times but no luck.
I have tried the option of overwriting my v1.2.6 local install with the 1.5.1 zip. but I get errors reported starting with "Error: Unknown column 'language_id' in 'where clause'" so I guess there is some sql needing running.
If I try the update from my 1.2.6 overwritten with 1.5.1 copy it still tells me to update to 1.5.1 but when i try the message is "Update process has failed, please, try again."
I have switched error logging on but nothing is in there since march last year.
Cheers

I have ended up zipping the code and sql from one of the live sites and using that with a little tweak to config.php.
Thanks for your help

    You need to figure out how to set up your local web server properly, so the web process has access to modify/update files.
    I guess Arastta can't write to the needed files and folders, they are being write protected for other than your locale user.

    There's plenty of guides online about setting up a local server properly, so I'm not going to go in details on it. Don't even know what software you use anyway. :)

    Thanks Rune. I must admit I was getting confused with Magento and thought I had set relevant permissions on some of the folders.
    But it doesnt seem to be permissions. I have set full control for 'everyone' on the whole site but it still doesnt work, plus the apache user is me so has full control anyway.
    I am not sure what you mean by 'properly' though. All I can do is follow the simple installation instructions. BTW my day job is web developer, I am sick of making sites that make other people rich and thought I'd give arastta a try at creating my own shop.
    Thanks for your attention.
