Cannot Upgrade

[www.miniphernalia.co.uk]

I have been having quite a few bugs recently, mainly do with with this:-

3 4 Cart cannot be loaded or an order has already been placed using this cart Cart 548 1 03/14/2013 01:38:17

Quite a few of these recently and they have lost me money.

I decided it was perhaps a good time to upgrade, but thats fallen flat on its face as well (see picture attached)

I am no expert, im not even proficient at php, my knowledge is zero when it comes to things like fopen and stuff, no idea.

 

I dont know anything about fopen, cant find it in any folders etc

Can you please help?

the page says you should contact your hosting provider to enable fopen, you can simply open a ticket with your hosting provider and ask them to do it.

 

As far as the upgrade, I would highly suggest that you hire a professional to perform this upgrade for you. I commend you for taking initiative, but unless you know what you are doing you will just end up with a broken store.

 

Have you taken a backup of your website (database and website content)? Have you tested the upgrade on a test copy of your store? Have you read the upgrade guide documentation on the site? If you answered no to these questions, then you need to reconsider.

I have contacted 3ix but am still waiting regarding switching on fopen(). I have tried to follow guides and steps here like looking up and editing the ini.php, but I dont have it in an install folder.

 

Regarding upgrading, I thought that this was or would be a straight forward process, afterall I installed originally?

 

I have backed up the database and downloaded a zip file of the entire content to my hard drive

 

Thanks
