    Default How would I backup my 1.3.8a database and make it work with a fresh install of 1.3.9h

    Hello everyone!

    Just as the title says I would like to create a fresh install with 1.3.9h and be able to have my sales and customer database from my 1.3.8a installation carry over? (I will re-install templates and all modules myself manually on the new installation that shouldn't be a huge problem)

    I have never done an upgrade with zencart so your help and input is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers!

    Use phpmyadmin to import this backup into your NEW DB for 1.3.9h

    Thanks for the quick reply :)

    Just a question though, so after I make the proper DB backup, I would install a new version of the 1.3.9h in a new folder and then import the backed up DB and do the "upgrade DB only" ?
