Upgrade 1.1.0.5 -> 1.4.4.1

[SaDJ0KeR]

Hello.

I`m going to try and update a shop (with some modifications) which is 1.1.0.5 version to the latest at the moment - 1.4.4.1

I`m wondering if i begin upgrading to 1.2, then to 1.3 and at the end to 1.4 or i can make 1.1 -> 1.4 in one step. Any advices about that? Thank you.

Status update: i upgraded directly to 1.4.4.1... front and back works good... all the data is intact... no problems the first hour. We will see in production. Very neat... Presta team.

Hi

 

Congratulations on the upgrade

I too have an old version and would like to upgrade.

How is the process?

I mean, step by step.....I'm afraid to losing my webshop. It is okay if the theme f'cks up. That's not an issue. I can easily fix that. Just all the products work and payment

There's no need to worry about losing your webshop. It would remain intact until your new installation is complete.

 

Create a copy of your existing database. This may mean creating a new database and importing the data from an export of your old database.

 

Now create a new folder in the root of your existing site, for example /newsite and copy all folders and files from your current installation into that new /newsite folder.

 

Edit the /config/settings.inc.php file with the newly created database name, username and password and the __PS_BASE_URI__', '/' to __PS_BASE_URI__', '/newsite/'

 

You should now have a working duplicate of your current site at www.yourdomain.com/newsite/. You can now upgrade this duplicate to the latest version of prestashop without any influence on your current site.

 

Once the upgrade is complete and ready to go live, create another new folder called /old. Move all your folders and files except /newsite to it. The transfer all the folders and files from /newsite to the root (where your old website files were) and edit the config/settings.inc.php file from __PS_BASE_URI__', '/newsite/' to __PS_BASE_URI__', '/'

 

Your new upgraded site will now be live at www.yourdomain.com/

 

Should anything go wrong you still have a copy of your old site in the /old folder

Hi,

 

I am also upgrading from version 1.1.0.5, and have followed your steps to create a duplicate of the current site at www.website.com/NEW/, and I seem to have achieved this. Everything looks right, but when I click on any of the category or cms links, I am redirected to the same page on the live site in the root folder.

 

Are there any other things to change in the dupicate site to prevent these redirects?

 

Thanks!
