    Default Re: New Build Old Database

    I really just want to start fresh, but don't want to lose my customer orders. Also my products I would like to keep their order the same, the url for each as google/yahoo has me listed really high in Japanese and don't want to lose the good links. I will not start working on this for about two weeks or so, so I will update as I go.

    What I suggest will allow you to start "fresh". You will be overwriting the version of ZC you have installed and replacing it with 1.3.7. If you follow the steps I outlined, you will retain all your data (customers, orders, etc).

    DO NOT simply upload 1.3.7 to your live site and run the installer. That will wipe your database and you'll lose everything.

    The site in my sig went from 1.2.7 to 1.3.7 without losing any data. There isn't anything 1.2.7 left to the site. It could just as easily be a clean install.
