Upgrade from 1.3.7 to 1.3.9 ?

Hello,

I'm new to this forum, I have version zencart 1.3.7 ... I have never upgraded, and I really need/want to.

Is there a link or readme file that explains in detail, how to upgrade from 1.3.7 to 1.3.9 ? I have found some upgrade steps, but i'm not sure it this is for my OLD version to upgrade to the NEW version. I can follow the steps, I just want to make sure these are the RIGHT steps for my Version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :) THANK YOU

how to upgrade from 1.3.7 to 1.3.9
Steps are the same only compiling a list of all the files that have changed is a bit harder

Then only if you have used the tempate override system for all of your customized files will it be simpler...
If you have not, first thing to do is get a fresh version of what you are using now and a set of the files your shop is using all on your local.

Run a file compare on these 2 sets to locate what core files you might have edited and to preserve these changes

Then a fresh install of 1.3.9h with a new database and follow the tutorial from there

Thank you!

Also, when someone uses PayPal IPN, I receive an email saying the money has been sent, but It does not update in my orders log. Would you know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Not if 1.3.7 as I have not had a copy of that loaded since 2007

Upgrade, and switch to Express Checkout instead of IPN. It's much more reliable.

In the meantime you can try many things to sort out your IPN problems: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/PayPal

I'll be honest... I'm completely lost when it comes to upgrading (I don't want to mess anything up) Is there anyone I could pay to convert everything?

I receive some payments correctly, but some go unnoticed, and then I have to ask the customers what they ordered. So, some of them are working properly.... This started just yesterday by the way.

I have switched to Express Checkout, I did everything right, but now I get a few errors

"Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/designsn/public_html/includes/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php on line 1467

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home/designsn/public_html/includes/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php on line 1467

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /home/designsn/public_html/includes/modules/payment/paypal/paypal_curl.php on line 333"

:oops: Did I do something wrong?

Expres Checkout requires CURL to be available on your server. Most reputable hosting companies have this available, already compiled into PHP with OpenSSL. If yours doesn't, you're stuck.

As for the array_merge error messages, those were fixed in newer versions of Zen Cart ... so upgrading will fix those for you.

:( That's what I figured, I will attempt this :lamo:

I too upgraded from 1.3.7.1 to 1.3.9h because of hack.

The store seems to be working ok, I use to use Paypal IPN for logged in customers and Paypal Express for the others. Redundant but it got me by successfully when the Express stopped working for awhile (a prior hidden hack I think, shut it off and later fixed)

Following directions and using my saved data, I noticed that PayPal IPN module, when removed then added, info went straight to Paypal Express module. I filled it out as needed and it will not let me do modules separate as before. Is this been coded in 1.3.9h as normal input behavior to switch IPN module to Paypal express?
Okay by me if that's what was intended.

It seems to work okay by trials on each (log in purch. or Express purch.) and appear the same to customer, but is it?

I'm not sure what happened to my IPN, but it is not even on the modules list anymore, can't even re-install it. pain in the behind :censored:

reading on how to upgrade...

How do I "Make a full backup of your site files (ftp to your PC and zip it up for safe-keeping)." ?

FTP ALL files to your pc and use the batch compare
