WendyM Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 I am switching hosts. ughhhhh Current=MS2.2 New=2.2CVS downloaded in November 2002 Which is newest of these ?? Also......is there an easy way to go from MS2.2 to 2.2CVS ?? I searched for "upgrading" and didn't find my answers. Sure hope you all can lend a hand. Thanks in advance! Wendy
jpf Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Latest stable is MS2 (from this summer) - the latest is today's CVS - not last years.
jpf Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 If your moving HOSTS then "backup" your database (DB) to the server then COPY all files over and change your two configure.php files to match your new server setting and "restore" from the DB backup on the server that was copied too. (Keep copy off DB site and delete copies off the server.) Upgrading - you can use CVS to update your files. Or use a program like Beyond Compair (or any program/tool that can compair 2 files/directories) to semi-automate or to manually update your files Then to update your database see this topic: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/viewtopic.php...er=asc&start=14 If you have MS2 then updated to the current CVS does not require any DB changes - just add the changes since MS2 came out. Good luck.
WendyM Posted September 11, 2003 Author Posted September 11, 2003 new host has comment in the oscommerce install area, that says backup restore will not work odd......no myphp that I can find either will keep browsing around any tips would be appreciated, about a work around for no backup restore
