Upgraving to 2.2rc1

[Guest]

I'm trying to upgrade to the newest version of osCommerce. I can't find instructions on how to upgrade a current install, only how to do a new one. I currently don't have a CATALOG directory in my current structure. Are there some easy to follow UPGRADE instructions ?

 

Thanks in advance for the help

 

Mike.

Open the update.txt file located in your download and follow the step by step instructions

I can't seem to find the file. I have update-20060817.txt which looks like just a list of problems ?

If you would take the time to read those list of problems you will see that those problems have been addressed with a patch that you must apply by following the directions.

 

This is an example of what you need to apply:

 

Solution:

 

The following lines must be replaced in catalog/includes/functions/compatibility.php:

 

Lines 22-23, from:

 

if (is_array($value)) {

do_magic_quotes_gpc($value);

 

to:

 

if (is_array($ar[$key])) {

do_magic_quotes_gpc($ar[$key]);

The following lines must be replaced in catalog/admin/includes/functions/compatibility.php:

Lines 22-23, from:

 

if (is_array($value)) {

do_magic_quotes_gpc($value);

 

to:

 

if (is_array($ar[$key])) {

do_magic_quotes_gpc($ar[$key]);

 

 

This is th only way to do a step by step update.

Sorry for not reading completely, I guess all that code scared me. I will make the changes then the upgrade will be complete ?

 

I still do not have a "catalog" directory in my current structure ?

Then make sure you back up first and when you see something like this just remove the catalog from your instructions

this

catalog/includes/functions/compatibility.php

 

to this

 

includes/functions/compatibility.php
