I am currently using version 9.3.1 and trying to upgrade to version 9.3.2. When I try to download the new version in Apply Update I get the following error message: The directory /home/nbfbbcom/domains/nbfbb.com/public\_html/updates/ already exists. Perhaps this item has already been installed. If I delete the update directory I get the message it can’t find the it. Any ideas?? I’m baffled as to what do do. I was able to upgrade to 9.3.1 using unzipper.php but now when I try it I get file 404 message and the php becomes 0 bytes. Thank you for any help. ---

Hi @tlkane3 - are those the actual error messages you’re seeing? can you paste those in as they appear? Thanks. ---

Hmm - is this thread helpful? Seems like a similar issue: > **[Can't update C5 -- directory already exists - concrete5](https://archive.concretecms.org/community/forums/installation/cant-update-c5-directory-already-exists/)** > > Last night my client tried to update their C5 installation using the in-built updater.

Hi Evan, Tried that and, long story short, I decided to just start over and install new. Did a complete removal of the old version and installed the new version. Problem now is that when I go to [nbf.bb.com](http://nbf.bb.com) I get the following **Fatal error** : Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘nbfbbcom\_conc83’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES) in /home/nbfbbcom/domains/nbfbb.com/public\_html/concrete/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDOConnection.php:40 Stack trace: #0 /home/nbfbbcom/domains/nbfbb.com/public\_html/concrete/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDOConnection.php(40): PDO-\>\_\_construct(‘mysql:host=loca…’, ‘nbfbbcom\_conc83’, ‘W67S27p)d[’, Array) #1 /home/nbfbbcom/domains/nbfbb.com/public\_html/concrete/src/Database/Connection/PDOConnection.php(22): Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOConnection-\>\_\_construct(‘mysql:host=loca…’, ‘nbfbbcom\_conc83’, ‘W67S27p)d[’, Array) #2 /home/nbfbbcom/domains/nbfbb.com/public\_html/concrete/src/Database/Driver/PDOMySqlConcrete/Driver.php(18): Concrete\Core\Database\Connection\PDOConnection-\>\_\_construct(‘mysql:host=loca…’, ‘nbfbbcom\_conc83’, ‘W67S27p)d[’, Array) #3 /home/nbfbbcom/domains/nbfbb.com/public\_html/concrete/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Connection.php(412 in **/home/nbfbbcom/domains/nbfbb.com/public\_html/concrete/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDO/Exception.php** on line **18** If I use [nbfbb.com/public\_html](http://nbfbb.com/public_html) the website loads.

Well that may be the problem, the database being used is nbfbb\_conc817. Being a noob, I therefore ask the following. What files do I need to edit to point to the correct data base? or do I create a new datsbase with the conc83 name? Thank you so much for your reply. I didn’t even notice the name error. ---

Is there an updated fix to this? I have 9.3.2 trying to upgrade to 9.3.3? My code in the concrete/controllers/single\_page/dashboard/system/update/update.php file does not match what is shown on that bug fix. ---

@JRick have you updated through the Dashboard in the past? If so, then the code you want to change will be located in the `updates/` directory. See [this post](https://forums.concretecms.org/t/update-9-3-2-to-9-3-3/7970/15) for an example. ---
