Relax-Distribut Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Good afternoon , Please excuse me if this problem was solved before , but I can't seem to manage this issue. I recently updated my prestashop version from 1.0 I guess - to 1.5 . I didn't want to back up any settings because the previous administrator wrecked it. I just wanted to save the products from catalog , so I copied the new version , over the old one (thinking that the photos will remain) . When I finished uploading the new site on the root , I realised that nothing was saved . I had a fresh copy of prestashop . is there any way that I can save the old catalog products to this new one? P.S : I have a copy of my old prestashop on the pc , does that help? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Actually, files have little to do with products. Product data is stored in the database, so the important question here is: how did you upgrade the database? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relax-Distribut Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I upgraded directly , by overwriting the host version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Yes, but what did you do with the database? Which process did you follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relax-Distribut Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Nothing , I thought that if i don't want any settings , I didn't backup anything . I used this tutorial ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBHEJwGe2qU ) I did exactly like this , except the backup proces... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 So you still have the old database? Can you try accessing the /install folder from a browser and see if you can upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relax-Distribut Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 yes , I have the old database , I tried to use wampserver , to acces it . I tried to put the install folder from the 1.5 version in the old one just to install and open it but I get the message "internal server error" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I don't know if such an old version can be upgraded honestly, you might need someone to convert the old database data into the new one, since there are huge differences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relax-Distribut Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I understand . I was afraid of this . Thank you very much for your help . Just one more question , Can I post it here or do i have to make a new topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
