Wairds Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I am having to carry out a manual upgrade which I have never carried out before.Is it a simple case of doing a file compare and uploading the files which have changed (amending them if necessary with your custom changes) or is there something more complicated I am missing?Thanks and regards.

Wairds Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 why not sign in admin>advance>maintenance>upgradeThanks for your response however I have tried that and received the following: "Failed to download latest version.

bsmither Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 CubeCart's upgrade process is "whole-cloth", meaning the upgrade process overwrites every existing stock file. If you have made changes to any stock file, take note of them in an external journal so that you may re-apply them when the upgrade overwrites the existing file.Any new files and database contents are not affected. This includes folders in the /modules/ folder as there are no modules shipped with Cubecart 6.The Foundation skin folder will be overwritten.It is possible to upload only the changed files after a manual comparison. But be sure to check the /setup/scripts/upgrade/ folder and /setup/db/upgrade/ folder for any version specific folder and schema changes.

Wairds Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Having thought further about this, how is the admin module impacted by upgrading? Am I required to re-enter all the customisation handled through the admin module?Thanks once again for your assistance.Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenswift-hosting Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 All source code files (front end and backend) are overwritten during an upgrade as is the standard Foundation skin, so any changes made to these files would be lost on an upgrade. However database changes and the data itself held in the database is not touched.Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
