Title: Upgrades from 1.1.2 to 1.1.9
Post by: nickjohn on October 26, 2014, 02:16:27 PM
Sorry if this has been covered before but I was wondering if it is ok to upgrade from 1.1.2 straight to 1.1.9 or should I install previous upgrades first. Cheers Nick

No,  that will cause you issues  as not all files are used in each update - therefore you might miss some of the necessary files by skipping.

Here's is the link to  versions 1.1.7 and earlier -  both updates and full versions.

https://code.google.com/p/abantecart/downloads/list (https://code.google.com/p/abantecart/downloads/list)

and this one have 1.1.8 and 1.1.9

You could also make a new installation with 1.1.9 and then migrate your database to the new install.

Best practice is to do your testing and updating on a different location than your production version.  That could be in a subdomain,  or a different file folder.  Don't forget to get a backup of your working production site just prior to updating it for realtime.

If you have made any coding changes -  they may be lost in version updates and need to be redone.

hi Thanks for the feedback, I did think there may be issues.. I have downloaded the latest version anyway and think it may be easier to re work the site again on the latest version, whilst it will take time it may work out quicker in the long run.

Cheers again. Nick
