Upgrade issues

Ive recently tried upgrading from 1.3.7 on my server to 1.3.9b just as i happened to have a copy already on the server, but gave up and installed a new copy at the moment alongside the old shop.

I installed the new software and made a new DB,

I uploaded a backup of my data into the DB but nothing shows up in the admin or catalog?

Why is this? As you can probably tell, i know diddly squit about this sort of stuff, im a hardware person lol.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :smile:

did you test your installation before placing your backup data into the database?

When you say nothing shows up in your admin, do i take it you can login to the admin?

check your database to see if there are two sets of each table, one of your sites may have used a prefix (ie zen_)

Yes, the new installation appears to work fine.

I can get into admin etc but no records show, no customers, products etc. ???

have you checked that your admin configure.php file has the same settings for the database connection as the shop?
