Copying PDT Token for store upgrade

Hi,

I'd like to copy over my payPal PDT token from my v1.3.8a/v1.3.8 store to my upgraded 1.5 store.

Can someone tell me where the path to the file is to copy it? Or is it encrypted?

This is for the payment standard IPN

Thanks.

Re: Copying PDT Token for store upgrade

If you've upgraded following the proper upgrade steps, then your PDT token settings will be automatically set in your store.
No need to "copy" anything after-the-fact.

Re: Copying PDT Token for store upgrade

OK thanks much,

When I upgrade, I ususaly use the normal upgrade steps, but in this case it is a fresh install on a different server, with the new version 1.5.

Is there a faq or wiki somewhere, with info as to the path to the token?

Re: Copying PDT Token for store upgrade

You said this is an upgrade. What did you do with all your old data?
An "upgrade" implies keeping all your data, not wiping it and starting with nothing.

As for your PDT token, just login to your old store and copy the token from the settings there. Or grab it from your PayPal account directly.

Re: Copying PDT Token for store upgrade

...oops....sorry I was not clear about that it was a store move not upgrade on same site. Still have the old data the older version store is still up and running, just want to migrate it to a different box with newer version. Alreay have a new (empty v 1.5) store set up.

Anyway, I looked in admin in the payment standard control panel the token does not show. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Re: Copying PDT Token for store upgrade

As I said, you can always copy the correct current PDT token value directly from your PayPal account's settings, by logging into your PayPal account itself.
