good morning, after upload files via ftp (binary), i can´t enter administration, and site is down with this error:
 
frontend: Page URL: http://www.xxxxx.com.ar/
Referrer URL:
Database error: Invalid SQL: SELECT setting_name,setting_value FROM va_global_settings WHERE (setting_type='global' OR setting_type='products') AND site_id=1
MySQL Error: Unknown column 'site_id' in 'where clause'
 
backend: Page URL: http://www.xxxxxx.com.ar/admin/
Referrer URL: http://www.xxxxx.com.ar/admin/
Database error: Invalid SQL: SELECT setting_value FROM va_global_settings WHERE setting_type='global' AND setting_name= 'site_url' and site_id=1
MySQL Error: Unknown column 'site_id' in 'where clause'
 
what´s the error?

First, you only upload in binary mode the "includes folder"
 
If you did that, the other thing might be that you need to clear your browser cache, I have found that sometimes works.

Although this does look like a site ID (for multisite) misconfiguration.

hi on2dvd, thanks for the reply, i clear the browser cache, but continue the error. I don't get multisite configuration in my site. how can i run de db upgrade?

Ive had this and it looks like the database hasn't got the correct data or the "includes/va_definition.php" is not communicating the right database name, host, user or password.
 
In my case I change the database name each time and copy data into it - but I forgot to change the definitions file

Have you try the patch from
