Title: Help required on upgrade
Post by: artwalls on March 22, 2013, 12:36:04 AM
Good Day people.
I have no clue of what to do regarding updating a site manually, I have basic knowhow.
Could someone please tell me in "baby terms" what I do.
1/ I have downloaded the zip file and unzipped it
2/ do I go to the SQL in my control panel or the files wizard/management to insert them
3/ When i'm in the correct place what folder do I open
4/ do i then just copy and paste them into the folder
5/ do I need to change text as I have read in a previous post for an older upgrade
and finally do I do the same things all over again to get me from the 1.1 that I am running to the 1.1.4 that I need
All comments will be greatly appreciated, Thank you

To upgrade cart from v1.1.0 to 1.1.1 download this package (http://abantecart.googlecode.com/files/abantecart_1.1.1_upgrade_only.tar.gz), unpack and replace all files of your abantecart by files from "code" subfolder.

To upgrade from 1.1.1 up to 1.1.2 go to abantecart admin section, menu extensions->install extension. Type in field  "abantecart_upgrade_112" and press "go".
The same with upgrade to 1.1.3 and 1.1.4... keys for upgrade abantecart_upgrade_113 and abantecart_upgrade_114.

Do not forget do full backup before start.
