    Default Installing over a working CRE Loaded install

    Hi-

    Wondering what, if any, precautions are required to install ZenCart over a CRE Loaded install that is working...

    I uploaded the files to a different directory (ie: instead of "catalog" it's in "storefront")

    The installer for ZenCart has all the green lights to go ahead.

    I just don't want to interfere with the working store until such time as I have this ZenCart store running. Then, we'll dump the other (CRE) store and migrate to Zen.


    Thanks in advance!

    Make sure your databases are totally separate.

    I think I have access to only one DB...
    I'll check with my ISP to see if I can get access to another.

    Probably necessary - right?

    It's simpler to have a 2nd database. If you don't have a 2nd database, when you install Zen Cart, be sure to use a "table prefix" .... perhaps "zen_" to keep old and new tables separate.

    be sure to use a "table prefix"
    I believe there's a missing word here . . .


    be sure to use a different "table prefix" name
    "BUT" - it could be me . . .
