Get ready for upragde to 2.0.8

A new version of csc 2.0.8 has been launched but unforunately i haven’t find any changelog. Lets wait cs updating their website. :rolleyes:

JUst upgraded. Every thing worked easy and went smooth. The only problem I notice now is that when I look at the installed updates list I don’t actually see the newest update. Besides that everything seems to work fine.

No, I apply the update from my admin page for the live shop

It is possible that you had incorrect file permissions on server before upgrade.



I would check files in root



admin.php

index.php

prepare.php



their backups and new replacements are somewhere in var/upgrade/208… or similar

Can’t change directory to install/: No such file or directory in /home/xxx/public_html/store/var/upgrade/upgrade_2.0.7-2.0.8.tgz/uc_override.php on line 861

I opened the file uc_override.php and found the line 861 as follow



upgrade/upgrade_2.0.7-2.0.8.tgz/uc_override.php on line 861





861 if (ftp_chdir($ftp, $rel_path) && ftp_put($ftp, basename($source), $source, FTP_BINARY)) {

862 $ext = fn_get_file_ext($source);

863 @ftp_site($ftp, "CHMOD " . ((in_array($ext, array(‘tpl’, ‘css’))) ? ‘0777’ : ‘0644’) . " " . basename($source)); // set full permissions for templates and css files

864 $result = true;

865 ftp_chdir($ftp, $cdir);

866 }

867 }

Upgrade went smoothly. As usual I backed up my active customer skin and uploaded my css. That annoying hide box was fixed in Hot Deals.

All was gud. I have to say 8 is a lot snappier than 7

My upgrade appears to have gone fine too. Thanks for the tip on backing up the CSS roban.

copied the config.local.php from 2.07 first and then full file replacement from 2.08 and put previous config.local.php back into the root.

Opened the shop . Smooth update.

So your running 2.08 on a 2.07 database??



2.08 contains some database changes. Check your updates folder for uc.sql. In that file is the sql commands for updates to the database.



k

After the errors arise, I decide the install the fresh new one



This is my doing:


  1. Back-up the database in 2.0.7
  2. Make a new directory
  3. Install the fresh new one 2.0.8
  4. Copy the database from 2.0.7 to the directory var/database/backup/ of version 2.0.8
  5. From admin page of 2.0.8, restore the database
  6. Copy the whole directory Images from 2.0.7 over the Images of 2.0.8
  7. Rename the directory 2.0.7 and 2.0.8 as you wish and adjust the config.local.php



    Now you have the new 2.0.8 and the back-up shop of 2.0.7



    Is it right? Do you think I have some wrong or mistake?



    I don’t know why, each time I do create the block Related product in Product tap in Design/Block. When I upgrade or my design block suddenly disappears, I recreate that block and the result I have so many Related products and Customers also bought in the product tap. See the attached screenshots

There are some files left in the old installation related to the blocks. Your method breaks the blocks.

I have no block issue with my method .

Thanks. Apperently I missed out the update. Having updated , I have also opened the uc.sql, I saw two sql update line commands out of order. May be something to do with my editor !

2 Related products here is the result of last two upgrades (From 2.0.4 upgrade to 2.0.6 and 2.0.7)



Because each time I upgrade, it’s gone in the block section. So I have to create the new one.



Is there any ways to delete them?
