Issues with manual upgrade from 1.2.6 to 1.2.7

[jaysbar]

Hi

I had issues trying to upgrade from 1.2.6 to 1.2.7 via the admin page. So I decided to backup my fles and database, erase my site and install 1.2.7 from scratch.

1.2.7 is now installed
I imported my SQL database
I copied my images folder back to my installation
I copied my system/config file over the installed version
I ensured the CHMOD settings are correct

I can get to the URL, but it just looks like the default installation. My products and customisations do not appear!

What have I missed??

Thanks

Hi.
So you import 1.2.6 database to your 1.2.7 installation? This may not work. Anyway make sure you have imported correctly

Hi Basara

Yes correct, I imported my 1.2.6 SQL database to my 1.2.7 installation. The SQL database imports without any issues. In my Abantecart admin GUI I can see my products, customers etc. But the customer website shows no products or customisations.

My old and new system/config files are identical. DB name is the same, salt key is they same, encryption key is the same etc.

I even get a message when I log into Admin that no payment system has been installed, but this is not correct, PayPal is installed as an extension.

Do I need to downgrade back to 1.2.6 again or should there be an easy fix? How have other people managed to upgrade without issues?
