Updating from 1.6.0.9. to 1.6.1.11

[Donnerberg]

Hello good people,

 

I have store built in prestashop 1.6.0.9 and I wish to update it to newest version.

 

But I am worry about issues which can happend after update.

 

Does any1 have experience with updating from that old version ?

 

And it would be great if some1 can suggest me the best way to upgrade my PS store.

( Some way with abillity to rollback everything if something dont work properly or something can not be fixed )

 

 

Many thanks,
Nikola

Start with building a running copy of your  existing shop.  There you can run upgrade tests.  This is most important bit.

Thank you for answer. I have one little problem. I can not build live version of PS 1.6.0.9. because my server provider give me only to choice between PS 1.6.1.11 and PS 1.7.x.x version...

i have a feeling that you should look to hire someone to do this for you.

I think you are a bit confused.  You will copy your production shop and crate a development copy in  which you can then try the 'autoupgrade' module.

I have understud you that you said to me that I should create copy of my running shop , and to run it on other domain, and then to try to upgrade.

 

But you have told me just to create "beckup" of my running shop. ( Website and database )

And then to try to upgrade. So if something go wrong, I can simply restore my website and database from beckup ?

 

I have backup of my site ( around 5 gb ).

 

Also, I have restore button which one I have tested and it works just fine  ( screenshoot: http://prntscr.com/em84w1 )

you  can use a subdomain as well rather than domain but it's useful to build dev copy in root or folder like production  shop.

 

Then when you have dev copy sorted/running.....there you can see how upgrade process will work for you.....most often if it goes well, you can then create a hidden copy of your production  shop and just copy new upgrade files/db to old shop.....

 

any particular reason you are upgrading?  is there feature/fix in later PS that you are after?

Many thanks for help Patron.
 

There is absolutely no reason for update, except one. Security. 

 

Everything else works just fine. But I wish to keep site "up to date" because future stability.

 

Also, after succesfully PS version upgrade, I am planning to upgrade PHP version of server.

 

Best regards,
Nikola

for us anyway...there is no immediate security issue with 1609, however there is security issue when running PS in demo mode that came out.  

 

let us know how it goes...happy PrestaShopping...el
