Hi everyone!
I have looked on the FAQs pages and through this forum to see if I could get any instructions on how to export my old zen DB and import it into a new zen DB. So far, I have attempted exporting by doing "select all", having it stay in SQL format, telling the structure to include drop tables (and without too) along with the default settings of Add AUTO_INCREMENT value and Enclose table and field names with backquotes, having the data be default except adding the Complete inserts, and then telling it to save as a zipped file. This works fine.
When I import this zipped file into my new DB, the response is that all 3212 files (or whatever they are called) have been imported. However, my customer, address book, product, category, and so on info is not there.
So, frustrated and unsure, I approached my web hosting company about helping me (they are great, by the way). They responded with:
"Please keep in mind that I cannot guarantee the success of this operation since the database is for an older version of your zenCart. Sometimes there are discrepancies between the database structures."
If that is the case, what do I do then? My current version of ZenCart for this website is 1.3.0.2, which is better than my other site (1.2.6). I am wanting to upgrade both. The information I found in the FAQs page dealt with OSC DB importing and then only talked about highlighting categories and one other thing. I want all of my customer, products and so on info too. (I do not want to have to reimput everything.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marci
