Upgrade confusion on a higher level

[Vorwaerts]

Hi,

 

Since I'm basically new to PS (but not other e-commerce solutions) I was looking for a general (official) upgrade description (DB & files) and got a little confused. My current PS version is 1.5.3.1.

 

The official manual for 1.5 HERE states that:

 

There are two ways to upgrade PrestaShop:

• Automatic
  
• Manual
  

The automatic upgrade simply uses the free 1-Click Upgrade module.

The manual upgrade has been deprecated, but its documentation is kept for historical purposes – and for those who cannot use the automatic upgrade.

 

The automatic update (version 1.0.26 and now also version 1.1) throws me this error in a popup box:

 

Javascript error (parseJSON) detected for action "upgradeNow".Starting restoration...

I don't know what it means so that's kind of the end of that. And if the manual upgrade is depreciated then what should I do now?

 

Regards
