mudshark Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Sorry for such a newbie question but "How do I upgrade my PrestaShop"? I saw that there was a security issue that requires an upgrade but do not know how to do a proper upgrade of PrestaShop. I searched for UPGRADE here in the forums and was surprised to find nothing! I looked in the dashboard and under admin, etc nothing. I cannot find an UPGRADE link in prestashop either. Do I download and reinstall as if a new install over my current build 1.6.0.9? How do I not lose my products and configuration then? Thanks! RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Advanced Parameters > 1 click upgrade But please do take lots of (external) backups, the process can fall over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 This is official guide from PS http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Manual+update I suggest however creating a test copy of your shop to run upgrade on, if works you can either move this to production or at the very least feel comfortable upgrading prod after full backups.

mudshark Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 I KNEW I KNEW there was a way I saw. I SWEAR I looked again and couldn't find it! Any way, yes, of course, thanks - but special thanks for the reminder to back up. I hope it was a waste of time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudshark Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Of course it doesn't work. I do click "1 click upgrade" under Advanced Parameters but I get an error... Controller not found Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Do you see the "1-click Upgrade" module listed on the Modules tab? You can try configuring it from there or try reinstalling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellini13 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Click Learn > Documentation from the menu above, and you would find the Upgrade Guide... http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Updating+PrestaShop Alternatively, a simple google search for "prestashop upgrade" would net you the same results. Don't over think this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudshark Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 I added the "1 click upgrade" module. It also fails to work, fails with the message: You come from the future! You are using a more recent version than the latest available! Your current PrestaShop version 1.6.0.9 Further, now when I try the "1 click upgrade" (under Advanced Parameters) I now get the same screen and error as I see if I try to u/g from the module (above). It looks like I'll have to do a manual upgrade unless someone has any other ideas! Thx all RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellini13 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 which version of auotupgrade module did you install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudshark Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 1.6.7 The one that was at the prestashop store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellini13 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Do you have the same issues if you access the auto upgrade from the configure link on the modules page? What type of server hosting plan do you have? Is there some kind of server side caching being used (like opcache or memcache?). Clearly you are having issues, and I suspect it is your hosting environment that is getting in the way. If you are having this many issues with the auto upgrade module, I don't imagine doing the manual install is going to be a wise decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are having this many issues with the auto upgrade module, I don't imagine doing the manual install is going to be a wise decision. Does not matter what path I try to use to do the U/G, failure is the result. From the 1 click upgrade Module > Configure it says my version is NEWER than the current (tells me I'm from the future!). Also, now that the 1-click upgrade module is installed if I go to Advanced Parameters > 1 click upgrade I see the same module interface with the same results. Before installing that module I got a different error (Controller not found). I /was/ using CloudFlare caching. Am no longer, but getting the same errors. Your point about the manual upgrade is a very good one! I am in the middle right now of transferring registrar and DNS to all in-house, which should be done in a few days, tops. Will try again then. If THAT fails also then it looks like I may be paying PrestaShop to do it!!! Deep thanks to all you folks. I'll keep you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudshark Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Transferred all hosting and domain registration in-house, no caching, etc. same error. Looks like a manual upgrade is my only course. Many backups first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 If you don't want to do a manual upgrade, you could transfer your files and database to localhost and perform an automatic upgrade there, then transfer the files and database back to your server.

mudshark Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 THAT's a concept! And not wanting to make any assumptions, by "to localhost" you mean my PC that I work on? The site will run from a Windows 7 PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yes, you can use XAMPP like I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudshark Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Wow, that's great! Going to bed now, will keep you informed when I try it. Can't wait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
