Guest bright9593 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hi I am new to this and every time I try to upgrade my site I so something wrong. So my question is: How do I PROPERLY back up my site before upgrading from 3.10 to 3.11? And WHERE do I back it up to? I thought I did it right but I guess I was wrong and now I'm stuck.

Ausy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 To backup your existing site you can download all the site files to your PC with your FTP client. Or do it via your control panel on your hosting account, depending on who you use there may be a facility to make backups. You also need to backup your database via phpmyadmin or via your CP. Once you have your site backed up you can make the upgrade. Instructions are included in the upgrade folder of the latest version of CubeCart you have downloaded. I have copied and pasted them below. ///////////////////////////// // CubeCart 3.0.x to 3.0.18 // UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS ///////////////////////////// PLEASE TAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT SITE FILES AND DATABASE DUMP BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE UPGRADE PROCESS READ THIS DOCUMENT IN FULL BEFORE STARTING +------------------------------------------------ | IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM 3.0.x - 3.0.18 +------------------------------------------------ a. Take a FULL backup of the database and site files. b. Upload every file from the uploads folder over your existing files with exception to the ones listed below: includes/global.inc.php install/ language/*/home.inc.php c. You then need to run the upgrade.php scripts (if there are any). To do this you need to know which version you were running previously. Have a look in the /upgrade/scripts/ folder to see if there are any relevant ones. If so start with the oldest one and copy it to the root folder of your store. Run this file in your browser and follow the on screen instructions. Repeat this process overwriting each upgrade.php script at a time until there are no more. e.g. http://www.example.com/store/upgrade.php d. Your store should have been upgraded. e. You may need to reapply any modifications you have made. +------------------------------------------------ | Upgrade complete. +------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
