Suffering the transition 1.6 to 1.7.

[DArnaez]

After many attempts with 1-click-upgrade, after many fails I realize that it was not a solution. I founded a post here giving a solution using Migrator Pro so I'm trying with this. The page suggest to create a new and clean PS 1.7 installation for later make a migration of data. My questions are:

1) Should I install PS 17 in a directory and later move the files to the root (previous config SEO_URLs)

2) Or may be Move all the current files to a new directori named "PS16"... and install 1.7 in the root?

3) There is another better, easier way? In upwork many freelancer are trying to charge $500 and a week for the work. Is insane!

 

What do you suggest?

Thanks  lot!

Create a folder and then later point your domain to the new folder, the shop does not need to be in the root

Thank you JBW! yes I did it... now I need to deal with a new proble. To install Migration Pro I need to go to Modules... but every time I get

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

 

Any idea? should I make and change in the .htaccess file?

Yes, regenerate .htaccess and rename /var/cache to /var/cache_old

[DArnaez]

Ok... I followed your advice. I could finally migrate all the info (buying Migration Pro) and now it seems that all is done successfully. 

Now... how can I install my theme and customize it if each time that I want to go my sub-directory (where PS 1.7 was installed) it doesn't let me. My old PS 1.6 installed at https://www.ohmyicons.com ... and PS 1.7 in https://www.ohmyicons.com/ps. 
Yes I know that the only way to put it in the root is changing the target directory in my cpanel adding a redirect. Is this correct?

Please help!!!

You can run it in subdirectory, but this need to be registed as Base URI here - afterward regenerate .htaccess again

The problem is that is already in the base URl "/ps/" but still not working. 
My other question is.. my old 1.6 is in the root... the PS 1.7 is in /ps/.... ok what happen with my product link's (is a digital products store). When can I delete the files in the old version.

I really can't believe that all of this it happen just to upgrade the system.

[DArnaez]

The .htaccess include these lines

RewriteEngine on
#Domain: www.ohmyicons.com/ps/
RewriteRule . - [E=REWRITEBASE:/ps/]
RewriteRule ^api(?:/(.*))?$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}webservice/dispatcher.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

 

And the Base URl is already as you said

[JBW]

You have it double in Domain and Base URI - remove the /ps/ from the Domains

[DArnaez]

It works! Thanks a  lot!!!

This is for those who are thinking in to upgrade PS 1.6 to 1.7. Think twice!!! Having a STore running Prestashop selling digital works... I decided to upgrade buying the comercial version of Migration Pro. The result was partially good.
1) Import the products.. yes.
2) Import clients and orders.. yes.
Now... if your products are digital or virtual.. you are in trouble. The plugin import product as "Standard" so you need to create one by one the links to the files. Product's images.. the same story. You loose all the images so you need to upload it one by one. In my case probably it will take months until finish. Month without sales.

So please are you sure you want to update???

 

[JBW]

In my opinion you should contact the migration pro support as these issues are caused by the module

[musicmaster]

An alternative would have been to use the free Copy_shopdata. 

It allows you to keep your images and virtual products. The recommended approach would be to use Copy_shopdata to copy your data to a clean 1.6 webshop of the same version and then to upgrade that with 1-click.

Ok I need your help one more time. My PS website is unavailable from months. What it happen is that after to make a new installation in PS 1.7 ... import everything using Migration Pro... and assisted by the author... my website was working finally BUT... running on a sub directory /PS. So after make a research about how to move it to the root... I learned that was just going to the Preferences -> SEO & URL the BASE URI to "/" . I did it.. save it. Then... using FTP I start deleting all in the root and move everything in /PS to the root.  Result?

Please use the following URL instead: http://ohmyicons.com/en/"

I was so tired that I decided to give up. But is sad to have a nice website what was providing some small income, to be a dead site. 
What should I do? To upload the install folder and proceed to install using the current parameters for the database?  Should I hire some one? is easy or is a complicated situation? I want to listen your thoughts.

Thanks!

This message will disapper when debug mode is switched off. Nothing to be concerned about.

As musicmaster said clear your cache (delete /var/cache on server)

[DArnaez]

OK I delete all inside /var/cache

I turned off debug from FTP in config/defines.inc.php (just putting "false" in define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', false); 
But the problem remains. Please take a look.

Thanks for the support.

[JBW]

There are redirection errors. Seems you didn't recreate the .htacess. Go to SEO & URL setting and turn off friendly URLS, save, switch it on again, save.

[DArnaez]

Thanks a lot! That fix the issues!!!
