Migrate or Upgrade Prestashop 1.6 (or other versions) to 1.7 – FREE module

[jajarom]

I used free module 1.1.7 before (migrate from 1.5.6.2 to 1.7.6.1), downloaded data from source web (www.mydomain.com.au) and uploaded to target web (www.mydomain.com.au/test). we made it! but no product images showed up. 

Because recently we found some admin panel errors related to javascript after we configure some modules, the developer of the module suggested us to fresh reinstall the 1.7.6 rather than waste time to fix javascript code errors.  Today, we uninstall everything and re-installed the 1.7.6.1. This time, we used both 1.1.7 and 1.1.8 free migrator module and hoped that we can do the data migrate again. However we failed.

we set up all the parameters of our server as following,

max_execution_time: 30000

max_input_time: 3000

max_input_vars: 30000

memory_limit: 2G

we tried many times, by direct migrate (always stops at 94%) or download source web and then upload to target web (always stuck at 1%, ridiculous). I am quite sure that our server provider is fine because we were successful in the first time. And the server provider recommended us to get help from you. 

Can you help us to solve this problem?  If this time we can make it, we are going to buy the premium migrator because we need a complete data transfer from old web.

I attached the pic for two ways of migrating we used. one is direct and another one is download source web and upload to target one 

I think I did what I can do, please advise.

Thank you very much

Michael

 

I have the same problem as you. Even the new store is on the same server I can't connect to the old store. And the hosting company told me there is no configuration problem, they gave the firewall down.

What can be the issue?

I felt 1.1.7 is more stable. You may try to rename img/p into img/old-p in the source system as see if the migration can finish... if so, you can copy the img/old-p into the target system later.

I´ve used your free module to migrate my web from 1.5 to 1.7, and it has imported everything well, but when i go to my web there is something wrong, the products are imported in their categories but they don´t appear in them. I don´t know if there is any table which is not imported or what can be the problem. I whish you could help me.

yes, i see all of them and they are active, but they are only in home category, and before the migration they were well assigned.

I don't have this issue...2xxx products from 20 categories/subcategories are migrated successfully. Only images not fully imported, but good enough for me....

[Josue Palma]

the download for version 1.1.8 appears unavailable for me, where I can get the latest version? on GitHub is 1.0.9

when I'm importing customers and addresses I get the error recursively.

:: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'PrestaShopException' with message 'Property Address->dni is empty.'

and no images are imported for products, I hope this is resolved on 1.1.8 but I can't have it.

 

thanks.

Hello

Just tried the Free module (2.0.8) and expect to buy the Premium later for the remaining stuff.

However have this feedback and issues so far:

1. I downloaded the Connector and PW Keeper from the link in your PDF manual. However these links are for older versions (Connector 1.0.1) compared to the versions downloaded within the module. So you should update the links in your manual!

2. Customer Groups got messed up, as for some reason my Reseller and Distributor group was ID 2 and 3 in source, which is reserved for Guest and Customer in Target PS11.7.
So on target I manually created new Resellers and Distributor with ID 4 and 5. However doing migration these 2 were deleted and all Customers on the Reseller/Distributor groups were just merged into ID 2 and 3. So this basically also means all the prices in products for the source Reseller and Distributor groups, suddenly becomes Guest and Customer prices.
I can create new Reseller / Distributor groups in target, which will then be ID 7 and 8 (4 and 5 just gone), and then manually have to move relevant customers and modify all prices for each product. Quite a work... So if doing another migrating later, to update with changes from live Source shop, how to avoid it will mess it up again and sort correctly?

3. Categories do not work in Target shop. Tried to migrate them several times. Sometimes they are visible and sometimes not.
But even when they are there, they do not show inside products / frontend (so cannot save products as they are not connected to any category). Only the Home category is visible.
See file for ps_ets_pres2pres_category_import table.  Most match, but seem so issue with ID 1. (Source shop do not even have any visible 1).
I remember that Categories got similar messed up one time doing a PS1.6 version update, but was fixed with some script. Not sure if this is now affecting the migration?
Seems to be related to how the home/root category works.

Thank you for your answer!

2. The module merged the Reseller / Distributor customer groups from source into Guest / Visitor and then deleted the 2 groups on target. 
If trying again to do a migration with the 2 fields disabled, then how would this generally affect previously migrated data? 
If doing a new migration later when ready to go live, to get all the meantime changes from source updated - would this also update changes to already migrated data (ex stock, text etc), or just add new data/tables?

3. ps_category_product tables are identical, however ps_category is not. So seem something related to the root tables is being screwed up.  Notice the ID  14 were migrated/merged to ID 1 (I have no visible ID 14 on source though). Pretty difficult to just edit in this table I guess, due to the nleft/nright algoritm.

Hi,

I'm running into problems migrating from PS 1.5.4.1 to PS 1.6.1.24.
I downloaded the latest version of the migration module (1.1.8).

First I tried the migration option with the direct URL connector method.
That process run fine up to 27.64% of the products import and then stalled.
The `ps_product` table is complete BTW (11586 products) but the other products related tables are empty or incomplete.
After waiting for almost 2 hours, it was still at 27.64% so I aborted the import.
I the restarted and chose to resume the import which started at 27.64% as it should, but nothing happened after that.

Then I tried to use the file download/upload option.
That started properly, but it's now at 26.14% for over an hour, so I am pretty sure the process is stalled.

Any suggestions what I could do to get this working?

Hello,

Thank you for downloading and using our Prestashop Migrator free module. We're really sorry about the problems you encountered while using this module.

To help us understand what exactly the bug is, please follow this instruction:

1. Open the ajax.php file > find this line @ini_set('display_errors', 'off'); > change 'off' into 'on' > save the file.

2. Run the migration again

3. If there is any error notification appears, please capture it and send to us for further support.

We're looking forward to hearing from you soon.

My best regard.

[Toeareg]

Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid it isn't of any help so far.

I have set the variable as you requsted:
@ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

I started the migration run again.
Like yesterday, everything works just fine up to step 5 (see the attached screenshot).

It is at 27.56% and seems to have frozen there with no change for almost 2 hours now.
And sadly no error messages either. Or do I need to check a log file somewhere?

Cheers,
Matt

I left it running overnight but now, after more than 15 hours of running, there is no change in the progress, nor any error message.

Any ideas?

[razaro]

Hi @Toeareg

for finding error you could try in admin to inspect page using browser dev tools, for example in Chrome https://nimb.ws/yv70Tk

Open that before starting migration and follow if there is some error (line in red) will appear in Console or Network (All or most likely XHR)

Had similar issue but it turned out some product translation were missing.

And error should display as soon as it get stuck.

[Toeareg]

Thanks Razaro, but the ETS guys are already working on the problem, so I will just wait for their answer/solution.

Did not get it to work on Bluehost server...I was able to get through with the migration testing on a localhost.  

  but only 3 catagories show up in front office.  Even though they are enabled in back office.     I'm using fresh install of PS1.7.6.1 with default theme.    I also get error 500 on some products if I click on them,  but no error on source site.

Update2:   only 3 catagories show up in front office....fixed... that was just my menu config.   But I do have other problems,

1)  Error 500 when I try to add an order from back office.  Is this a prestashop bug? 

2)  Error 500 when I click on customers name in order list,  I should see the history of that customer not get an error.

3) Error 500 when you click on certain products for detailed view. ( )

Hello

I have a question regarding your modules, either free or premium.

I have prestashop 1.6 on a isp that has upgraded to php 7.2 and i can no longer access the back or frontoffice, all the files and database is still there though.

I have installed prestashop 1.7 on the same isp and has it up and running.

Is there any way i can use your modules to get data from the old shop in to the new one without access to the old ones backoffice?

Best regards

Hello,

Thank you for having interested in our Prestashop Migrator module. Regarding your question, unfortunately our module needs a connection to your source site before migrating data to the destination site. Therefore, if it's possible, you could try to transfer your PrestaShop 1.6 site to an available ISP for temporary, migrate your data and then delete that temporary site.

My best regard.

[pixelmeister]

Hello

Thank you for your reply.

I will see if i can find some still running php 7.1, otherwise i will have to move the database manually:-(

Thank you

[VoytechG]

Hello, I've tried to migrate my data from Presta 1.6 to 1.7 but it stops at categories at 1% then gives an error. I have already changed parameters "max_execution_time should 3600 or more memory_limit should be 512M or more max_input_vars" should be 12000 or more on my server. What else could I do?

 

 

 

OK I resolved my problem by installing the newest version of connector at source website.

Hello, I've got the premium version and I did a migration process from PS 1.6 to PS 1.7 a few months ago, just for starting the development of the new site with real data.

Now I want to import the latest data, just about clients and orders, but I dont want the new one to delete this data, only merge clients and orders data .Can I do that ?

If I Check NO in "Delete data before migration" migration option, both data will merge ? If I force all ID, Will the new data add to the existing ?

Thanks in advance .

Hello Roberto,

Thank you for using our Prestashop Migrator module. I hope you are pleased with our module performance. Regarding your question, please follow my instruction below:

1. Backup data for your destination site (so that you can restore if the migration result couldn't meet your expectation)

2. On Step 2 (Data to migrate), you should only select Customers & addresses and Orders & shopping carts options, then click "Next" to continue.

3. On Step 3 (Migration options), set "Delete data before migration" to NO, set "Force all ID" to NO

4. Review migrate data and continue your migration.

I hope this will help. If you have any question, feel free to contact me.

My best regard.

Hello Sergio,

Thank you so much for downloading our Prestashop Migrator free module. Regarding your problem, it may be caused by the difference between Prestashop 1.6 and Prestashop 1.7 structure.

Hello,

Thank you for using our Prestashop Migrator module. Please try to follow my instruction below:

On the source site (PrestaShop 1.5) :

1. Open Prestashop Migration module > Select Migration tab > select your source data (step 1) > select types of data you want to migrate (step 2)

2. To keep customer password, on step 3 "Migration options", you should set "Regenerate password for new customers" option to OFF. Save the _COOKIE_KEY_ of source website.

3. Download "Prestashop Password Keeper" module and install this module on your destination site (PrestaShop 1.7)

4. Review your information (step 4) and start migrating (step 5)

On the destination site (PrestaShop 1.7) :

Open Prestashop Password Keeper module > paste the _COOKIE_KEY_ you saved from source website > click Save.

I hope this will help. If you need any support, feel free to contact me.

My best regard.

So i need to install the module MIGRATION on the site 1.5?
I just install connector on 1.5

I do it like this :

ON OLD SHOP 1.5:
- install module connector

ON NEW 1.7
- install module migration
- take source url/token from connector in 1.5
- choose data 'Customers & addresses'
- Force all ID and Keep customer passwords to YES
- And i install the Password Keeper module and put there cookie_key from 1.5

After that i try to login with customer data from 1.5 and i got Authentication Error.

second question is that i have services where max max_input_time is 450 and php version is 5.2.17 (it`s possible to change it, but shop stop working after that)

 

Hello,

Thank you for downloading our Prestashop Migrator module.

Please open the "/modules/ets_pres2presconnector/connector.php" file and modify the code as instructed on the below screenshot:

http://prntscr.com/qneu7w

After that you should reset Prestashop Connector module and try to migrate again.

I have 2 shops (1.6.1.23).
I want to migrate from both shops only categories and products (including everything) to one 1.7.6.2.

Hello,

Thank you for having interested in our Prestashop Migrator module. This migration module is possible to migrate data from multi websites to one destination site. You may try the following instruction:

1. Install the Prestashop Connector module (you will find the install package of this module inside Prestashop Migrator downloaded package) on your 2 Prestashop 1.6 websites.
You can export data from 2 Prestashop 1.6 websites or save the connect URLs and secure tokens of each website.

2. Install the Prestashop Migrator module on your Prestashop 1.7 website.

3. Now upload data package exported from Prestashop 1.6 website or insert connect URL and secure token to start migrating. You should migrate one Prestashop 1.6 website at a time.

If you need further support, feel free to contact me.

My best regard.

Seems like it worked well.

Will run some checks and test and report back. But first impression is 5 Stars!!!

We used download (not direct connection), used google chrome. 
Also like justed earlier by weixuan0710:

"before migrating data, i did the following things.

1. open the seo & url, enable the friendly url immediately.

2. enable ssl straightway.

3. do not use chrome browser to operate the migrating, and try to use ie or something else.  (we used chrome)

4. check to make sure these settings "Disable no Prestashop modules” and “Disable all overrides” in the performance page are disabled.

5. Set " Template compilation" to "Force compilation" and Disbale cache on "performance" page, making sure the changes we are going to make take effects."

Really great module!!!

Hello, i'm trying to use the free module and it looks great, but i have an issue. I have several main categories and each have subcategories. It import all main and subcategories correctly. When it starts to import products it stopped always at 1% and display the error about time to upload etc... I checked all servers parameters and are really high. I tried to upload from my PC and i still have the same problem. If i try to import only products and put everything in one random main category it works. How can i import all products and categories with subcategories, and put correctly all products in their own correct subcategory? Maybe i'm making some mistake? I have more or less 50 categories/subcategories and 3400 products

Many thanks

Hi, I'd like to purchase the Premium Version to perform a complete migration of my "old" 1.6.1.4 to 1.7.

But I have a big doubt reading the basics instructions:

Quote

STEPS TO MIGRATE OLD PRESTASHOP VERSIONS (1.4.X, 1.5.X AND 1.6.X) TO PRESTASHOP 1.7

1. Install "Prestashop Connector" on source website. Download Prestashop Connector module here

2. Install a fresh Prestashop 1.7 website (target website)

3. Install "Prestashop Migrator" on target website

but... source and target are the same website

I'm missing something here

 

cheers

Well, you can actually just use the Prestashop 1-click Updater if you want to upgrade to 1.7. (make sure to backup if not working as expected)

However if you want to do a migrate - then you transfer your data from your existing shop (source) to a freshly installed PS1.7 installation (target) with a module like this.

In my case I have given up with this module so far, as it screws up categories (not working in target. wrong root settings) and customer groups (being merged to wrong groups). So suggest you try the free version first to see if working as expected first.

thanks for reply, I'm a bit lost choosing the correct way to upgrade the old site.

Maybe the correct way is to install PS 1.7 in a subdomain, migrate the old stuff to the new one, configure and test everything, and then move back

Hello,

Thank you for being interested in our Prestashop Migrator free module.

As your first comment, I think you want to upgrade your current site to the PrestaShop 1.7. I suggest that you should try our 1-Click Direct Upgrade module to perform the upgrade process. By using this module, you don't need to install any connector module or test site; it will preserve all data and database of your current PrestaShop site (only update database schema) and it can work even with low status server. You can also rollback to the previous version anytime you want.

Other while, if you want to use our free Prestashop Migrator module, you can install both connector module and Prestashop Migrator on your current site. Use the connector URL or export data package from connector module to import by using Prestashop Migrator module.

If you have any question related to Prestashop Migrator, feel free to contact me.

My best regard.

Hello,

I've tested the link and it's still working. You need to log in to download this package. 

I also sent the install package through your inbox, please check your PrestaShop forum's notification.

Just tried your latest version V1.19 (with connector V2.0.3), but unfortunately it did not work well

1. Categories are not visible in BO. If editing the Default/Home category, you can then see all categories listed after saving.
However not visible when just entering the Category menu in BO. Seems like a Root issue.

2. Products are not migrated at all (this worked in V1.18). Tried both with delete existing, not deleting, force/not force, from file and from direct several times.
Just do not work. After loading about 20% Products it just skips to the initial migration page - also skipping Finalizing Migration. (and cannot press the previous/Next button on the page it skips too either).

3. Customers could only be migrated separately (probably due to the faulty products migrate). 
However it screwed up the customer groups, as the source Reseller and Distributor groups were not created. All customers in these groups were just migrated to Guests/Visitors (despite not even have such in source). So module could not match source and target groups correctly.

So basically do not go very well 😞

Now I tried the latest 1.12 version, but still not much luck!

1. Categories
Now the ID1 and ID2 Root/Home categories have been reversed, so completely messed up all listings.

2. Products was now migrated (79pcs). but had to resume a few times since it stopped at around 90% after ~10min (have 50.000 timeout/inputs).
Products was marked in their default category correctly, but all of them ws not marked visible in any categories.

3. Customers still messed up!. It still do do not auto match groups correctly - would be much better if could just manually select this to avoid all these auto match problems.
Not all customers were transferred now (was not a problem earlier). Some are still sorted into Guest groupd despite not even have any of these in source.

So all in all, nothing was really migrated correctly 😞

Hello, I am testing the free version, I have migrated from a Prestashop 1.6 and loaded it into a Prestashop 1.7.

Everything worked correctly, except for one thing, since all the products come with a -10% discount.

In migration deactivate and delete all discount and catalog rules.

I have all the products on the new website, in Prestashop 1.7, without any active discount rules, but everything comes out with -10%.

Can you tell me how I can correct it and remove -10% from all products.

Thank you.

We have not activated any discount rules, they are all zero and that is what worries me.
Prestashop 1.7 is newly installed and the sample products come out well, but since we imported the products with their module, they all come out with -10% ...
Even, creating a new product in the normal way, that discount is applied.

[Sandra-66]

Hello,

I have the premium version of this module and is very satisfied. I've used it to update from 1.6 to 1.7 and now to back up my files from my site in production to local.

My today's problem is about the products with attributs with colors or textures. Upon migration, the products with attributs "color" works" well. However the "texture" (eg image) do not migrate. I don't know why and don't know either in which image file I can recover them.

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help.

how come I have problem to install the module itself, too big file after unzipping, 3,3 or 2,7 MT and 2 Mt allowed? Is this due to my hosting service or what?

Hi!

I have tested your free module and I have successfully imported the products, categories and clients, but when importing addresses, the module only imports addresses from Spain and not the rest (our store is translated into 6 languages).

Which may be due?

If we check that it works correctly, we would value the purchase of the paid version, but we are a little afraid of spending the money and that it does not work correctly, given that currently our financial resources are very limited.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for downloading and using our Prestashop Migrator.

I hope you could clarify your problem for me: did our module not import customer addresses that come from Spain or it is another problem? As I knew, customer addresses are not translated and they should be imported with other information of customers.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hola,

Gracias por descargar y usar nuestro Prestashop Migrator.

Espero que pueda aclararme su problema: ¿nuestro módulo no importó direcciones de clientes que provienen de España o es otro problema? Como sabía, las direcciones de los clientes no se traducen y deben importarse con otra información de los clientes.

Espero tener noticias suyas pronto.

Hi!

The specific problem is that the module begins to import and when it reaches 97% of the import of the Clients, it stays in a loop and does not finish the import.

Once the import is canceled, we check in the new store that it has correctly imported the categories, all the products, all the Clients, but it does not import all the addresses, importing exclusively those corresponding to the default language in both store, which is Spanish, and omitting the rest.

Thank you very much for your excellent module.

Hi @ets-soft

I allow myself to send you this message because currently on the version of Prestashop in 1.6.0.14, I want to migrate to 1.7.x.x.
I followed all the "readme_en" procedure provided with your free module.

When I try to migrate with your free module. But I meet I don’t have a visual, when I’m on step:
1. MIGRATION > Step 2: Select type of data to migrate  and I have an error message (image error attached).

Could you help me
Thank you in advance
