product problem with osc 2.3

[zpupster]

hello forum,

 

i hae had 2.2 live for some time with osc2.2 database

 

here is where i am databases --osc2.2 and database osc2.3 are added on my local host.

i installed oscommerce 2.3 and everything is fine so far.

 

now i have matched osc 2.2 structure with structure of osc 2.3 database tables and imported the

structure and data for these tables:

 

address_book, address_format, categories, customers_basket, customers_basket_attributes, customers_info, manufacturers, manufacturers_info, newsletters, orders_products, orders_products_attributes, orders_products_download, orders_status, orders_status_history, orders_total, products_attributes, products_images, products_notifications, products_options_values, products_options_values_to_products_options, products_to_categories, reviews_description,

sec_directory_whitelist, sessions, specials.

 

 

then i imported the products table.

 

when i went to check my mysite.com/catalog page in the left coumn under categories none of my

categories are listed and also, under mysite.com/catalog/admin i have no products listed.

 

 

i felt that i was doing this right. can someone suggest something. i am lost.

hello,

 

if i simplify the previous post.

 

working 2.3 install,then when a matched structured 2.2 database (products table) is imported successfully.

 

they products do not show up on the 2.3 install --in the admin(catalog/products) or on the catalog/ page of the new install.

 

thanks,

I don't see the products_description and categories_description tables in your list. Those are required.
