osCommerce v4 comes with a migration tool to import data from old osCommerce 2.x and some osCommerce forks that use same or similar DB (the latter MAY work but is not guaranteed to work).

We have created a Wiki manual about how to use the migration tool:

https://wiki.oscommerce.com/index.php?title=Importing_Data_from_Older_osCommerce_Version_to_New_One

However we STRONGLY recommend using a qualified development partner to migrate data from old osCommerce.

Does the migration create a separate database or attempt to do it in-place?

Does it need access to the old source or can I load the new code and import the old database (on a different server)?

Also I am running a modified osc 2.3.2

I am not sure if I added any fields to osc tables, there may be some new tables that I would expect would be ignored...

Is there a download site that has all the historical official releases?
I'd like to do a mysqldiff on the structures to see what I might have done in the past 20 years...

Hi Tom,

Regarding your first question after you install osc4 the new database is created and the data from the old website is imported to this new database. 

Regarding your second question it is necessary that the old website should be functional. The new functionality that allows to import to the new server is temporarily added to it. Please see the following link with the description of this import process - https://wiki.oscommerce.com/index.php?title=Importing_Data_from_Older_osCommerce_Version_to_New_One

Best regards,

Ivan

Hi Tom,

We import some data from the popular extensions (such as Customer Groups), but in most cases the new tables and the fields will be ignored.

As for a download site that has all the historical official releases we are not aware of such a site but probably you can find one in the Internet.

Best regards,

Ivan

Yes I have been looking at that page but it does not give any background just a set of steps: DO THIS... :)

I would prefer not trying it for the first time in my production environment...

It would be helpful (for me as well as others) to know that the import process leaves the old DB unchanged

Also if moving the db offline (to a test server) what is needed besides the db, maybe the config files (./includes/configurtion.php, includes/local/configuration.php) anything else?

I know some of these questions may be answered in the process, but by then I'd hate to be fully committed on a one way street.

Tom

ps. I will look again to update my signature... I was a core dev about 20 yrs ago...

The import went ok.

I did see that the category images were copied but not the product info images, that would be a nice improvement

I installed again and de-selected sample data import but still have the splash screen and can't see how to see the top page of the site

I only have the one sales channel, but when I click View Site it still give me the list...

Does anyone here know whether osc4 incorporates the Extra Products Fields contribution to old osCommerce 2.x ?

Our site www.abbeybook.com uses EPF as an essential feature which we would need to maintain if we migrated to new osc4.

Thanks in advance for advice anyone here can offer ...

It is possible to add multiple Properties to products. Hopefully you will find it useful and will be able to move to the new version of osCommerce

@osCommerce-Official will the migrate data effect on the old site ,, will add or edit the data on the old site?

 

Joe 

Hi Joe,

The data migration from the old website to the new one will not effect the data on the old website.

Best regards,

Please provide screenshots of messages. They are helpfull to understand the issue.

The manual assumes that you have installed the new osCommerce v4 somewhere. But it seems you didn't do it.

I have tried this in seperate folders, and same folders still getting the same messages


requirements.php - is the only thing showing (top left of white screen) and when I see the configuration setting everything is showing passed.
