Hi, I have an online shop which runs over an obsolete prestashop 1.4.7. I want now to upgrade the prestashop version to the latest (1.6). Since the jump is pretty dangerous (almost impossible, probably) and I cannot waste to much time keeping my shop offline, I'm taking into consideration the possibility to move my old shop to another host. Now the possibilities are 2: 1. Uploading the old version to the new hosting and then try to upgrade 2. Install v1.6 on new hosting and then try to get old data from the old version (I have around 600 products in 3 languages) Which is the most feasible? I'm already giving some tries... For the possibility 1 I followed these steps: - total backup of old version - upload to the new hosting - change settings.inc.php of db name, db user, psw etc etc Result: Not working. I'm getting a blank page in front end, while BO seems working, instead. I turned "display_errors" but the front end remains still blank. For the possibility 2, the problem is that I tried to upload the sql file but all crashes after that. I've tried from phpMyAdmin (but my file is too big and alternatives I found do not work). I get the same result also by uploading the the db file from the cPanel. Maybe I am missing some other possibilities or I'm doing the listed ones wrong, but the last chance is to install 1.6 and upload products and everything manually Hope, I'm wrong!
