Hi,
I'm upgrading 1.2.6 to 1.3.7, but having to luck, I did place old with new database and passowrd configure.php (includes, admin/includes). Also place old htmlarea files to (editors/htmlarea). there is no upgrade option. Why?
Is there any trick that I'm missing?

thanks

Re: question with upgrading 1.2.6 to 1.3.7

Do this in a folder like /new and install the latest version

Grab a DB backup of your current functioning store

in phpmyadmin go to the new store DB and drop the tables...then import your backup of the old store

Re-run zc_install on this new store and select DB Upgrade

This should net a functioning store with your DB items.

copy the images, the html_includes, and some of the files that might have been inb your overrides template locations should be run through a difference(diff) tool like winmerge to check for possible changes before you use them
