Moving server which version of 1.5.3 do I have?

Hi Folks

Moving server and need to get the correct version of Zencart.

I know I am using 1.5.3 but when I go to download from sourceforge there is the normal 1.5.3 and 1.5.3 hot fix??

I need to use the correct version on my new host otherwise according to the migration help pages things will not work.

Is there an easy way to tell which version I currently have installed ie 1.5.3 or 1.5.3 hotfix? :shocking:

Any help greatly appreciated as always.

The hotfix version improved the installation process... If you have comparison software, then you could download both copies, identify differences in the main body of the code, then compare the file(s) that show differences with what is on your server and go from there...

That's one thought anyways. Why though are you not just copying the files and making the changes needed for moving from one server to another, or in this situation basically using the hotfix version (improved over the basic) to create the configure.php files, keep those, then copy the other files from your server and replace the configure.php files with the ones created above.

Good thinking - thank you. Just worried in case there were big changes from 1.5.3 to the newer 1.5.3 hotfix version. All guides re moving to a new host insist that the same exact version of zencart be installed on the new host otherwise errors can occur. I'll give the above a go and see what happens,

Thanks

Well, thing is, there's enough issues when moving from one server to another, if you go changing the software while doing the move it only complicates things further... Eventually in those cases, the recommendation is to simply install a fresh copy, rebuild and transfer database information, but the difference between your old server and new would basically be the info in the configure.php files, which can be easier to populate using the zc_install process... But if. You have that info, then could manually modify the configure.php files after copyng everything over... (Includes/configure.php and admn/includes/configure.php)
