Installing over a working CRE Loaded install

Hi-

Wondering what, if any, precautions are required to install ZenCart over a CRE Loaded install that is working...

I uploaded the files to a different directory (ie: instead of "catalog" it's in "storefront")

The installer for ZenCart has all the green lights to go ahead.

I just don't want to interfere with the working store until such time as I have this ZenCart store running. Then, we'll dump the other (CRE) store and migrate to Zen.

Thanks in advance!

Make sure your databases are totally separate.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

I think I have access to only one DB...
I'll check with my ISP to see if I can get access to another.

Probably necessary - right?

It's simpler to have a 2nd database. If you don't have a 2nd database, when you install Zen Cart, be sure to use a "table prefix" .... perhaps "zen_" to keep old and new tables separate.
