I need to perform my first upgrade (from 1.5 to 1.6 for now).
However, I've searched high and low through the nopcommerce site, and can't find, even generally, instructions on HOW to upgrade!
I've also downloaded the 1.6 files, thinking that there might be a README for upgrading, or perhaps an upgrade folder, but to no avail.
Note: I did notice that the in Install\Scripts\1.60 folder, there's a nopCommerce_upgrade.sql script. I assume this takes care of any changes to the database, but doesn't impart any info as to whether there are ALSO file changes that need to be upgraded too.
HELP! (i.e. please post, even at a very general level, upgrade instructions!)
Rather than foraging various comments throughout the forums, I was looking for the basic, "in general, here's how to perform an upgrade" in text format.
Anyway, after reviewing the video (I'm more of a written text kind of guy), this is what I inferred the upgrade process is. Can somebody confirm if this is correct?
1. Make backups of both SQL Server database and all files. 2. Make note of the connection settings in web.config 3. Delete the website’s files 4. Extract and then copy the new version’s files to the website folder 5. Browse to /Install/Install.aspx 6. Afterward, copy any customized files (e.g. themes), from the backup location to the website.
