    Default Catalog Migration between stores

    I have just installed zencart 1.5.3 and need to transfer my products from 1.3.8 to 1.5.3. We opted for a clean install. Is there a way to do this other than manually adding the products to 1.5.3?

    Much depends on whether you want to ALSO transfer across all historical activity relating to the products - which include vital data such as order histories, category linking, and much more.

    If you are happy to have all that historical archive disappear, then you could simply use EASYPOPULATE to export all the product data from the old site database, to the new site database.

    The BEST way to ensure the integrity of ALL data is to do a proper upgrade, rather than a new install. Zencart has been designed to do upgrades with virtually no errors along the way (assuming you have not fooled about with the structure of the core database).

    My advice would be to perform a full upgrade.

    Okay I preformed a full upgrade and my site is working but my admin log-in page is saying 'database upgrade required. please run the 1.3.9-to-1.5.0 upgrade via zc_install'

    how do I fix this problem?

    Run www.yoursite.com/zc_install/ and make sure that you **ONLY** select database upgrade. When done you need to delete the zc_install folder from your server.

    Did you receive any messages during the database upgrade process?

    Does the same message show on the store side when looking at products, etc?
    Do the database settingsmatch between includes/configure.php and YOUR_SECRET_ADMIN/includes/configure.php

    On second thought, didn't upgrade to 1.5.3? Just stopped at 1.5.0? All of the checkboxes from your previous version up to 1.5.3 should havebeen checked based on the version identified on this thread. If didn't select upto that point then the system is going to alert about needing to upgrade. If there is no option to upgrade to 1.5.3 in the zc_install then it is time toget a new version of it from http://www.zen-cart.com/getit.
