In order to upgrade Squirrelcart, you will need to upload the files for the new version. This explains how.
 |
Squirrelcart's Installation / Upgrade script will give you the opportunity to import information from your old configuration file into the new one. Never copy or move your old configuration file (config.php) to the new installation. You may miss some new variables or code changes that could cause problems with your installation. |
- Open your FTP client
- Create a folder called squirrelcartNEW in the same location that your squirrelcart folder currently resides.
- Upload new squirrelcart files:
Upload the contents of the folder named squirrelcart from the distribution to the squirrelcartNEW folder.
- Upload Installation Directory:
Upload the sc_install folder from the distribution to the same location as squirrelcartNEW.
- Upload store.php (Required when upgrading from v2.x to v3x or newer):
If you have never made changes to Storefront Page - store.php on your site prior to this upgrade:
- rename to store.old
- upload store.php to the same location
 |
Your storefront page may not be named store.php if you renamed it. |
- Copy custom theme (optional):
If you were using a custom theme as your default theme, copy it's folder from squirrelcart/themes/ to squirrelcartNEW/themes. You can determine if you are using a custom theme by following the "Determine your store's default theme" item in the Preparation topic in this section.
 |
Version 2.x themes (and their templates) are NOT compatible with version 3.x. If you are upgrading from version 2.x do not upload your custom theme to v3.x as it won't be compatible. |
- Upload modules if needed:
If you downloaded any modules in "Step 1: Preparation", upload each module's folder to your squirrelcartNEW/modules folder. For example, if you downloaded the QuickTotal module, upload it's quick_total folder, as in:
squirrelcartNEW/modules/quick_total
- Rename squirrelcart folder:
Rename your old squirrelcart folder on your server to squirrelcartOLD.
- Rename squirrelcartNEW:
Rename your squirrelcartNEW folder on your server to squirrelcart.
