Guest dillingerink Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey all ~ I have downloaded the trial of V4 to get a feel for it and see if reskinning using my existing store design is feasible for me at the moment. I am wondering if I can keep my V3 store open and throw the V4 in a different sub-folder but still run them off the same MYSQL database. I tried to install V4 in "shop" folder (my working V3 is in "store") but a selection during setup must have restructured the database, rendering both stores useless. If I can't run them off the same database will I be able to export my existing V3 database to a database that I will create for V4. (I would assume this is possible but given the new structure of V4 I am wondering what the actual process/format is for the export/import) Thanks!

Ausy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 You can't run them both from the same database. if you have the option to creat a new one then do that and install V4 where you want it for testing. Alternativly chose a prefix for the new install on the database you are currently using for V3. Once you have your skin working fine on V4 you can download and save it then just do an upgrade on your version 3 install. After its done upload your skin. Backup everything first.
