Upgrading One click upgrade from 1.5.6.3 same error on multiple sites when attempting to upgrade.

[jimmyc]

Having trouble upgrading prestashop sites with the one click upgrade.

 

sites are 1.5.6.3   upgrading to the latest 1.7

[ERROR] /home/ "PRESTA INSTALL file" /public_html/ admin******* /autoupgrade/latest/prestashop does not exist or is not a directory.  

any ideas on what is wrong here?

Activity log shows...

 

 Database backup: 57 table(s) left...

 

Database backup done in filename V1.5.6.3_20190523-231556---. Now upgrading files...

 

Nothing has been extracted. It seems the unzipping step has been skipped.

As the errors says it can not find folder path " /public_html/ admin******* /autoupgrade/latest/prestashop "

you could add it your self, but upgrading from 1.5 straight to 1.7 is not advised. Try to upgrade to 1.6 first.

How can I upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 and later to 1.7??

 

The one click doesnt let me choose the final version it just pick the latest available!!

Big help from this thread

1. You will need to download 1.6 PrestaShop version
2. Unzip file on your computer
3. Open up FTP and Navigate to public_html -> autoupgrade -> latest
4.  Upload the 1.6 PrestaShop to that directory
5. Once completed open up the 1.6 folder and move the PrestaShop folder within it to the latest folder (the folder one above the 1.6 so the 1.6 and PrestaShop are both now in the latest folder
6. Once done select Expert Mode under the 1-click module version selection then change it to Local Directory and enter the 1.6 version 
7. Run the update

This worked for me and I was able to update to 1.5 then to 1.6. 

I used the 1-click module to update from 1.6 to 1.7, but be sure your server to up to date with the system requirements for whichever PrestaShop version you are looking to use. \

I would also advise you to delete/disable any old modules that aren't compatible with 1.7 BEFORE you update, as it is causing a headache for me now.
