Upgrade osc 2.2 -> ms2

[scranmer]

Hi all,

 

Has anyone successfully upgraded from a standard 2.2 version through to MS2? I have someone who wants to upgrade there shop, tried the standard upgrade facility provided and failed.

 

I have also tried this and noticed several of the standard db error messages that appear and when I do a manual db synchronisation I notice that several of the table definitions are out (eg address_book). These are all in the standard tables and don?t appear to be for any mods. Also noticed that it royal FUBARs the shipping module installed mod for geozones.

 

If anyone else has gone through this procedure could you let me know of any other problems or solutions that would be useful.

 

Cheers

Silly me - Ive found the extras/pr21_to_pr22/ folders with the scripts to make the DB upgrades but still would like to here if there is anything else.

MS2, to use its full title is osCommerce 2.2 MS2 - so they're one and the same thing. Maybe you're talking about upgrading from an earlier version to 2.2 MS2?

The current software version is osCommerce 2.2 and I am looking at upgrading the DB to osCommerce 2.2 MS2. Current standard upgrade takes the DB from 2.1->2.2 MS2 (i think).

Before you try to start upgrading anything please make sure you need to. Go to your osCommerce admin control panel --> Tools --> Server Info and it will tell you which version of osCommerce you have. If it says 2.2 MS2 then you don't need to upgrade anything. If it says 2.1 then you do.

in admin->tools->serverInfo there is no osc version listed and on the bottom of the page the copyright shows 2002.

 

Within application_top.php there is

define('PROJECT_VERSION', 'osCommerce 2.2');

which is why I am asking about upgrading oSC 2.2 -> 2.2MS2

The best way of upgrading is to upload the 'install' folder for osCommerce 2.2 MS2. The whole zip file is available from downloads at www.oscommerce.com. Unzip on your computer, take out the 'install' folder and upload to your website, then go to http://www.yourdomain.com/install and choose the 'Upgrade' option.

 

I would take a backup of all website files/folders and the database before doing this in case you run into problems.

Great thanks but unfortunatly as per my first post

we have tried this and am currently having to go through comparing all the upgrade scripts to see which pieces are required. I beleive the failure may be due to the fact that 2.2 was never "an official" version and so this may be from a midpoint CVS.

After upgrading an existing shop from 2.2CVS to 2.2MS2 I found and have created a fix for the following problem,

 

The current upgrade script ms1_to_ms2.php moved the address_book table to the new format but while relinking to the customer table links the latest address and not the first address as the default. This means that all deliveries and billing will be linked to the wrong address if the customer does not notice.

 

A fix for this has be uploaded as a contribution at http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3700
