versions 1.3.x through 1.4.4.1., so I think your version 1.4.1.0 is OK

yep, i did when i saw it didn't work.
So i've tried two methods:
first: install by -module section- and, when i saw it didn't work, deleted the dir. and
second: install by transfer to server and chmod again.

Where do I find “Enable Shop”? It's certainly not in Tools > Upgrade

Followed steps 1-5.

Don't see the “Upgrade PrestaShop Now” button. Instead, what I see is

Quote

Your current prestashop version : 1.4.4.0

Last version is 1.4.5.1 final (1.4.5.1)

Your current configuration does not allow upgrade.

on my 1.4.4.0 this module doesn't working. It is about BIG OLD PS error.

All must be in root writable for use of this module. But a lot of modules is impossible to do this. If you install some module not manually, but in BO, so the folder with module is with owner - 33 33, not me, and it is impossible to change anything. I cannot set the CHMOD or delete this folder.

This same is also with translations, if you import translation in BO, it sets to language folder owner 33 33 and all changes are impossible.

WHY?! WHY DOES PRESTASHOP DO THIS??????

Pascal, I had the same problem with upgrade button not showing. Try clicking the "Click here to refresh" button in the same box.
