RE: Upgrading website

[delite163]

Hello,
1. I have a website established and want to update to the zen cart while leaving the old site working until the upgrade is done. How is this possible?
2. Does Zen cart have digital delivery?
thanks

Create a new database.
Import your current database into the new one.

Create a new sub-directory and upload the newest version of ZC.
Within both 'configure.php' files make sure to use your new database.
Will also need to make sure you copy over any files for a custom Theme, if using one.

Run the install like you would for a new ZC setup -- but -- make sure to choose "Upgrade" when asked.

When new setup has reached the point where you are ready to use it, I would first download your current ZC dir./files to your personal computer; so you have a complete backup. Then I would delete them from your Hosting account and replace with your new files. Make sure to edit your two 'configure.php' to reflect the new "path" for Zen Cart.


Yes, digital downloads are an option within Zen Cart, if that is what you mean by "digital delivery".
