carplu Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hi is it possible to create a backup from a store in 1.5.x and import that in a 1.6.x setup on a new server? or do you first need to update to 1.6.x than create the backup and than migrate?

vekia Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 no it's not possible. prestashop 1.6 has got different database structure, so it will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfermo Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 no it's not possible. prestashop 1.6 has got different database structure, so it will not work. Hello Vekia, on the documentation for manual update I understood was ok to do. Below the link (see chap recreating the production database locally): http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Manual+update Did I get it wrong ? So what' best to do to get a data-base could be uploaded in PS 1.6 ? Is this a possibility: - Back up everything of production website in 1.5 - Upload back up on local or on a different server - Automatic upgrade backed up production website to PS 1.6 - download data-base from this last upgraded site Is this last a data-base can be uploaded on a "fresh" installation of PS 1.6 ?

carplu Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 So to recap... put site in maintenance mode back everything up set up test domain either locally or online on testdomain create a database and write down the login details copy all files with ftp from live production site (1.5.4) to local folder download database backup from production site (1.5.4) to local folder move all files with ftp from the folder to the testdomain import the database in the new created database on testdomain check if it's working fine update to 1.6.x check again create database backup and move all files with database backup to new folder on computer remove everything from the live shop do a fresh 1.6.x install move all files with ftp from testdomain to the shop domain and that should do it correct?? and will all customer data be preserved (orders, passwords etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a multistore running on 1.5.62 and a testsite where I installed PS 1.6. This was done several months ago, so the database on the testsite is not up-to-date. I've installed new modules and new templates and changed and repaired the layouts. There should be an easier way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
