[SOLVED] Upgrading from 1.6.0.6

[Masteries]

I'm considering upgrading my shop from 1.6.0.6 to the latest version, however, I'm a little hesitant since I have made quite a lot of modifications to core files without using overrides. If, after the upgrade, I replace the files with the old modified files, would it cause compatibility issues? Also, would any customized/theme changes (it's not a native/default theme) be overwritten as well? Here's the differences found by 1-Click-Upgrade:

Hi,

 

how I would proceed:

 

environment set up,  localhost

unpack the latest stable that you will be upgrading to.

create a running copy of your existing shop 1.6.0.6

now upgrade the copy of your shop.

 

Then using a program like 'beyond compare' compare each file to see if any 'changes', if none the you can use your modified version, else you will need to make change to new PrestaShop copy.

 

I hope this gets you started.  Of course your other option is to post in job offers and get competent company to do this grunt work for you.

 

Happy day, el

I did as you said. I made an exact copy of my Prestashop 1.6.0.6 on XAMPP and upgraded the shop but I kept getting 500 Internal Server Error when it upgraded to the latest version. I will just refrain from upgrading my shop until I debug and find the solution. Thanks for the information!
