Just the thread/info I have been looking for. I did not build my current site properly, due to not quite understanding it all and now that I am attempting to upgrade, it has caught up with me. The only add on is the "flexible_product_listing" which I'll install on the new site.

This has made me a nervous wreck trying to figure it out and try not to mess it up.

My site is in the root, I am planning on installing my test site at mydomain.com/store, once I get the testing done, would I be better off deleting my old site instead of overwriting it? Just uploading the same set of "original" files that I uploaded to my test site, doing the regular "install" as it were a completely new site, and doing the data base upgrade? I have noticed where some mistakes where made in uploading templates.

Is it better to have your store not in the root level?

Does it make it easier to update/upgrade?

Thanks
