The background to my question:
---------------------------------------------------------
Excerpts from the upgrade instructions:
---------------------------------------------------------
[FONT="Courier New"]"Upload the files from your modified "new version" (created in step 2) to your server, into an alternate folder, perhaps called "/store_new"."[/FONT]
...Do all your upgrade stff and make sure the store is working. Then when ready to go live.
[FONT="Courier New"]
"To go live, put your shop into "Down for Maintenance" mode in the admin area. Be sure to add your IP address to the list of allowed addresses to get into the site for previewing.
This can be done easiest by renaming "store_new" to "store". (You'll have to rename "store" to something else first.) "[/FONT]
That's fine except my working store in not in a sub folder off my root, but is directly in the root e.g.
www.My-Web-Site.com/index.php
not
www.My-Web-Site.com/store/index.php
----------------------------------------------------------
My Question:
---------------------------------------------------------
How do I do the final going live bit easily and quickly, if my store is not in a sub folder?
My site is in the root /
My new cart is in a sub folder /new-zen
When it is time to uprade is there an easier way to do it other than?
1. delete all the current site's files and folders from the server.
2. ftp all the new working files from /new-zen to the root.
Thanks
(Yes, I asked this earlier, but since the thread was closed by admin after only 1 answer, which wasn't an answer to what I actually wanted to ask, I assumed that I had asked badly - I was v tired and frustrated when I asked)
Thanks
Paul
