Fresh Install

[jamiedickinson]

I installed v1.6 the wrong way (downloaded file and copied over old file and tried going to the /install/ folder) - not sure why as its been years since updates used to run that way.

 

Having been running Prestashop since, I think, v1.3 and upgrading each time; I figured I have probably messed and changed things so much in that time that a fresh install would be quite nice. Might even make things a bit quicker since I'm on a cheap shared hosting plan.

 

I was wondering the best way to create a fresh install of Prestashop and then import products/categories/customers/orders/CMS. Have tried a fresh install and then just changing the database the fresh v1.6 looks at to look at the old database but it doesn't seem to work very well.
