How do I upgrade my database from cart 1.3.8a to 1.3.9d?

Hi

Without more details I would give you this path to deal with your data.

But First; The reason you have more tables is due to the add-ons you had in your older version of Zen-Cart.

To upgrade you drop all the data files using phpmyadmin. Then import your old data.

The next step is to go through the same steps as when you do a fresh install of Zen Cart. At the window after you agree to terms you find that same area where Zen Cart tells you what may stand in the way of your install. File permissions for example.

At the bottom of this window is the patching section to patch a database that is older then the cart needs.

As far as why your images are gone? There are a few possibilities. Again I am guessing, but there are several places for images. If you were using a template in the past you will need to move the images inside the custom template folder. Also there can be file permission issues.

The bigger issue is that unless you use a template that has been updated the EZ-Pages will not work until you fix a template file inside your custom template/template folder. The file is tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php

Let me know if you need the php code to resolve the ez-pages issue.

Well, I hope this helps a little. If you want any more help I need more info... What server os? Are you using mysql? Do you know how to program in PHP? Are you familiar with how a ftp client works?

Last and most useful, do you have a test server and if so what are you running on it? If you are using a hosting provider? Who is the hosting provider may be helpful at a later time... but for now I would have to know about the server and database.
