How do you "upgrade" to 1.3.4rc2?

General General Questions

I know, it’s not ready for live store deployment, but I wanted to try it on my test server running 1.3.3.



In the file area where you dl it from it says to be sure to read the directions, but there are only the “regular” install instructions. Is there a way to upgrade? Thanks,

I think that the 1.3.4 Release Candidates are only currently setup for fresh installs, not updates. You could do a new install in a separate directory on your server though.

I realize I can do a separate install, but I’d like to use my current database of products, but I’m betting I’ll get a database mismatch error. Sound about right? Guess I’ll have to try and see what happens.

you will not be able to upgrade the database is completely different… some tables maybe the same but others are not. you would have to go thur and investigate each table for changes specifically the product tables.

Oh man, this sounds like a nightmare just waiting to happen. I hope CS-Cart dots their i’s and cross their t’s when they release their “upgrade” package.

i hope you did not manually import them into 1.3.4rc!?!?!??!



the final 1.3.4 will have a proper upgrade script… so i don’t think we’ll have to worry…



(my concerne are most about the translations upgrade… we’ll see in a few days anyway!)
