Upgrading question

[freya]

I have two stores to upgrade: one from 1.3.6 and the other from 1.3.7. I am seeing a number of errors/bugs that I will need to fix after the upgrade. So I know the estimate of hours this will take me, I am wondering whether I should plan on going through the three pages from the sticky at the top and include that into my upgrade plans for time set aside.

Last time I upgraded my cart, I had to upload all of my ebook/image files again. I am so hoping that doesn't happen as I have over 300 files now.

Thanks,

Marci

Many of these should only apply if you are using the specified modules/functions

Depending on how you intend on doing this and your account management tools you can copy your ebooks etc versus uploading

Thanks, Cobra. I have very few add ons to my store. I may look for some after upgrading, but beyond the built-in ones, I haven't added for this very reason. :)

Would it be easier to do a fresh install or upgrade?

I am having problems uploading my old database into my new one so that I can do the upgrade. Rather than importing, I am thinking of just running sql script. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

Thanks!

What Database tool do you have and how large is your DB in bytes?

Is it phpmyadmin?

[freya]

It is myPHPadmin. The DB is 6.8 MB unzipped. When zipped, it's only 888KB. My host allows up to 51MB, so it shouldn't be an issue.

That is correct - So what issue are you having?

[freya]

Nothing happens. I choose the file. The character set is utf8. The page begins to load, but never uploads the DB.

So, I was thinking of just inserting in at the SQL place in myPHPadmin, but I don't know if there is a specific command I needed to use. I just want to see what happens when I upgrade the DB.

Thanks!
