How to upgrade to new ver seamlessly?

I'm using an older version of OScommerce. It's a few releases back, I can't recall which version is it, or where I can check it.

 

I would like to upgrade to the newest version that I downloaded from the Download area here. How can I upgrade to it as seamlessly as possible while maintaining my current settings, product catalog and add-on modules?

That really depends on several things.

 

It will be difficult if you don't at least have a general idea of what your current version installed.

 

Snapshots on and after 5/19/2003 included some major changes to the create_account process, as I understand it. Also, did you apply any contributions to your existing release? That could have impact, especially if you added any fields to your MySQL database. There are other posts out here from Daemonj that talks about pulling off your existing database and laying it back down once you do the new install.

 

Also, what about any customization you did yourself for the appearance of your site? That would have to be re-applied/retrofitted.

 

So, I guess "seamlessly" is probably a matter of perspective.

 

Sorry. I know that probably doesn't help you as much as you'd like.

If I build it...they will come.

If I don't try to build it.....I will never know!
