Upgrade to 4.13.3 didn't go so well.
Most likely because my whole site was moved from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0.27
Plan B is to do a fresh installation of 4.13.3 in a new sub directory at root
and when all is good, delete all files at root and move all the files out of this
subdirectory ( folder ?) to root.
I don't want to move an existing store.
I want to perform a new installation in a sub directory.
I can find no information for the following:
Doing a 'fresh installation' in a separate folder at root.
I would like to do it then, if all OK to move it all to root.
One of the stores or both would need to be closed of course.

Do you mean this one?
https://docs.cs-cart.com/latest/install/useful_info/copying_store_to_subdirectory.html
The documentation is all about copying an existing store into a sub directory.
I wish to do a 'fresh installation' inside a folder then move it to root.
Or rather do a fresh installation inside a folder then have someone else move it to root.
I would like a yes or no on this please.
1. Create a new folder at root called, say, 'newstore'.
2. Put the installation package in it.
3. Install CS-Cart. Change permissions yadda yadda.
4. Delete all at root except for 'newstore'
5. Move all files to root and delete the empty folder.
I know there are all sorts of reconfigurations to do but are
steps 1 - 5 essentially correct ???
I KNOW I have seen the procedure for this somewhere
but buggered if I can find it again.
Last chance :)

1-3 points are correct
Yes I can follow all but the final step is not mentioned.
"If you move your store to the web root directory, the line of code above should look like this:"
I must assume that all existing files in the root directory would need to be deleted before I move the store to root directory.

It's the 'unmentioned' part that I am not clear about but it makes sense that the way should be cleared for the new store by deleting all the old store files.
Maybe they don't need to be deleted because they would be 'overwritten' which is why deleting them is not mentioned.
Old files are not necessary. Just in case create the old category and move all current files to this category. Then move files of fresh installation to the root directory and complete all steps according to the instruction
