I am trying to upgrade from 1.38a to 1.5. I have followed the instructions closely believe, but may be missing a step that is causing the issue I am facing. I have used GoDaddy's Backup and Restore tools and have also tried backing up and restoring via phpMyAdmin, but the database never restores. I don't get any errors, its just that my existing store data never transfers. After I do the backup/restore I go to my new store install and see all the demo products/categories and also visiting my admin console I do not see any of my customers, orders, or any other historical data from my existing 1.38a store.
Completely lost I then reran the zc_install and chose the database upgrade. I went from 1.38 to 1.39, then from 1.39 to 1.5. Same affect or rather no effect - the data is still all demo and no customer, order or any other data in the admin area from my 1.38a store.
I am totally stumped at this point and hate to post for help because I am probably missing something so obvious to seasoned upgraders and zen gurus. Anyway if someone out there has any ideas what I could be doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it. Truthfully I was happy with 1.38 and would have stayed with it a little longer but when the USPS changed their API's I decided now is the time...
