I've got the Hoek book, and set up my site 2 years ago, or more, with great difficulty and much confusion, and much help from this forum. After that, my hosting service (as far as I know) had an easy upgrade option from their cpanel which seemed to work fine. That's how all previous upgrades happened.
Now it appears to be time to consider upgrading to 1.3.9G & H and the hosting service easy upgrade is no longer available. Bummer.
I am computer disabled when it comes to understanding the upgrade process. I've read though the "how to..." stuff, made a back up copy on my PC, printed all the admin pages from the stores' back end for future reference, merged some files (I think), and loaded those files back to a (public_html/store_new) folder on my hosting site.
As far as i know, I have no add-ons. Those are separate little programs that you add as needed, right?
The next step appears to be to make a new database. Where is the old one? What does it look like? Why didn't it copy itself when I copied the other files?
Later I see that I need to run zcinstall. Does that need to reside in the (public_html/store_new) folder ?
It seems like there should be a zcupgrade folder somewhere too!
