Upgrading Manually

Hi,

 

I have as stated in the shop version 2.2RC2

 

I have downloaded the package 2.2RC2a, is this the correct next one ?.. because in the upgrade file it states v2.2 RC1 store to v2.2 RC2

 

Or do i need another one.?

 

And what will be the next update one to do than..

 

Will update all manually, because a fresh install will kill my edits in all of the files.

 

Greetings, Anne

If you really have 2.2RC2 and not 2.2RC2a, you need to check all of the edits. At least one of those is different from RC2 to RC2a. Then you have to do 2.3, 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.3.1, 2.3.3.2, 2.3.3.3, and 2.3.3.4.

 

Once you do all of that, and it is a lot, you will have half an upgrade. Most addons designed for 2.3 will not work, and future changes will get harder and harder the further you get from baseline. Oh, and you have to find all of the addons you used in your 2.2 store and update those.

 

I recommend that you start over with the latest version (2.3.3.4) and import your products/categories and customers/orders. Then add in all of the addons that you really need.

That will work, but you will then need to open both configure.php files and change shop2 to shop.

don't forget to password protect the directory shop2 while you are working on it to stop it being indexed and thus "clickable" from google etc

 

There is quite a lot of info on the forum about addons that do and dont work on 2.3.3.4 and a lot of upgrade posts - have a good read of some of these before you start

Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed ..... So much thanks for all the help given along the way by forum members.
