    Default Upgrade of data from 1.2.5 to 1.3.8

    I have setup a test site using 1.3.8a.

    I want to transfer the customer and order information from the old shop to the new.

    Can anyone give me some guidance as to the easiest way to do this, plus any other relevant data you think needs to be moved.

    Regards

    Follow these instructions https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=108 or you can hire someone to do this for you in the commercial help wanted section.


    Be sure tio follow them carefully or it could be messy be sure to backup everything before starting.

    Laurie,
    You'll want to follow the tutorial previously mentioned and you should upgrade the database one version at a time - don't try to go from 1.2.5 to 1.3.8 by having all the boxes checked in the database upgrade area - you will have problems.

    I have a store running 1.2.6. I am upgrading to 1.3.8. I have set up the new version of zen-cart, uploaded the data from the 1.2.6 version.

    Going through zc_install again in order to upgrade the database I am consistently getting a blank page. Whether I upgrade with all the steps ticked, or just one.

    The tables in the 1.3.8 database have a zen_ prefix because that is how the 1.2.6 version was setup and I subsequently leave the 'new table prefix' box empty during database upgrade.

    Surely there must be something at odds here...

    As a final point, the 1.3.8 shop front with the 1.2.6 data shows:

    1054 Unknown column 'startdate' in 'field list'
    in:
    [select startdate, counter, session_counter from zen_counter_history where startdate='20080915']

    Can I assume that's because the database upgrade has not happened yet, or does it indicate something else gone wrong?

    Thanks!

    ** I have just spoken to the chap that set up the 1.3.8 version and he hadn't used the same username/password as the 1.2.6 store - therefore the database upgrading wasn't happening due to incorrect username/password. Used the 1.2.6 username/password and the step by step database worked... **

    What version tables have you upgraded already in the zc_install script?
