What a freaking mess! Where did I go wrong? Should I have uninstalled all the modules from 1.6.1.24? I'm thinking yea now looking back. If the upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7 doesn't bring along the modules safely then what's the point???
Then I have another issue with copy_shopdata.php in that the newer version doesn't bring along the Shipping ---> Carriers ---> Tables
I was going to attach some pictures of my Carriers but the forum wont let me....
