Upgrading step by step !!!

[ejectcore]

Congratulations to the Prestashop Development team & the rest of members here helping to resolve many bugs.

I have a few tips for people upgrading below
I realise that most of this may be in the WIKI but not everyone looks at this.

UPGRADING STEP BY STEP!

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP! just in case :lol:

PART 1
1) Download the latest Prestashop 1 Final here Lastest PrestaShop version
2) Create a new folder ie call this. "prestshop1"
3) upload the contents of the new v1 final zip to the folder above
5) upload from BK or move from current location both your theme directory & img directory.
if modifications have been made to any modules please move this in to the new location renaming the current folder to bk-img etc.
6) set your permissions recursively to all directories except CONFIG / TOOLS
7) set permissions to config 777 & /tools/smarty/compile (Not recursively)

PART 2
Before running the updater you need to do the following
1) Upload your settings.inc.php from your BK then CHMOD 777
2) you may nee to CHMOD 777 to logo.jpg located in your img directory unless this has already been done
3) Run the updater ;-)

SUCCESS PRESTASHOP v1 FINAL IS NOW INSTALLED

PART 2 (Optional) - If you wish to use the same directory used on your last install follow these steps!
1) Rename the old directory to RC5 or what ever your previous version is so you don't get them mixed up
2) Now rename Prestashop1 back to your previous directory

If you rename your new directory make sure your define the new directory here in settings.inc.php
define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/prestashop1/');

A note to the developers __PS_BASE_URI__ needs to be automatically updated on install!

FOUND A SMALL BUG IN THE UPDATER
for those of you who after updating can't login here's the quick fix!

Request a password as this will generate a new password based on your new _COOKIE_KEY_

if you don't receive an email with this new password you need to manually update _COOKIE_KEY_ & COOKIE_IV with your old value from your previous backup you will find in your settings.inc.php

hope that helps ;-)
And if all else fails more info below in the WIKI!

Already? But I only found Prestashop last night :-)

I wanted to say "Thank-you" I am very happy I found Prestashop

[Malakomaha]

Me too very happy.
It's good that it released TODAY. Tomorrow - my Opening-day. There's still time ;-)

[serjik]

Thank you very much! ;)

[Brainfever]

Congratulations!

Tomorrow I'll upgrade my RC5 version. I can't wait!

Hi...
Just want to know...
Whats new from the prestashop V.1.0
I meant whats the different with the RC.5?
Because im really sucks to update into the V.1.0
Im afraid to lose all my data if i update it...
And my RC.5 already works great....

[ejectcore]

Basically it's a lot more stable ;-)
As long as you backup you will be fine.

PM me if you want install service ;-)

I followed the upgrade instructions, and ended up with two installs---one of RC5, and one of 1.0, in different folders.

I had perfect results by backing up RC5, then deleting the whole site (minus the database), and uploading 1.0. Then I copied over my old settings.config, img directory, and theme.

[ejectcore]

You shouldn't end of with to installs.
You need to drop Prestashop in to a new directory & only copy over the necessary folders & not the installer :)

[Lisa]

The instructions say to create a new folder, and upload the contents of the zip file into it---and the zip file contains the installer. I followed the posted instructions to the letter, and they gave me two installs---one in my original folder, of RC5, and one in the new folder I created, of 1.0.

[ejectcore]

Sorry you are correct, after reading this again you said you have to installers but in separate folders.
this is fine you just have RC5 as a BK just in case. Sorry I misunderstood you first time :red:

Do you have any problems with the install ?
If you or anyone else trying to upgrade does have issues then please drop me a PM with the access details & I would be happy to look as long as you describe your problem first here %-P

[Project 14]

I've just tried updating from RC5 to 1.0, uploaded everything, copied what needed to be copied to the new directory, ran the install, and the option for upgrading was grayed out: "Update: Get the latest stable version (no old version detected)". Trying to go through the normal install (without installing any products) wanted me to create a new database as one already existed with the default name. Any ideas where I might have gone wrong?

[ejectcore]

All you need to do is make sure you upload settings.in.php to the config directory then the update option will appear ;-)

[Project 14]

D'oh - I missed that one. That's what you get for trying to update complex stuff past midnight! Will try again when I've had some sleep!

[ejectcore]

I was updating 3am yesterday
you must be in the UK then :lol:

Waaa - something's gone wrong with some .htaccess rewrite rules somewhere when I've upgraded.

My site runs WordPress for most of it, and I've only installed PrestaShop in a directory '/shop/' - before I upgraded, WordPress (running in maintenance mode - which basically turns off the site) was working OK with PrestaShop, but now I can get to '/shop/' and view the page, but when I try to get into a category, I get shunted back to the WordPress maintenance mode page, like it thinks '/shop/' is part of WordPress and should be denied access.

Turning off maintenance mode and trying to click into a category just points me to a WordPress error page, like it can't find a page in WordPress that it's expecting...

Any tips on what I might have done wrong, or how I can get it back to where it was? I've still got backups of everything from RC5...

Thanks,

Nevermind - the htaccess file in 1.0 is called htaccess.txt - renaming it to .htacess fixed the problem. :D

Once I upgrade my PS and try to enter to the admin panel I get this:
"There is 1 error
1. employee does not exist, or bad password
"

[ejectcore]

This seems to happen a lot all you need to do is request new password ;-)

And what if I'm doing it on a local server without a mail server?.
