I am upgrading magento version 1.5 store to magento version 1.7. Current store has more than 1000 products, more than 100 categories, more than 20 attribute sets, more than 500 customers,more than 500 orders and Database size is more than 600MB.
Above details are mentioned in order to have the idea of store size. Furthermore, I am trying it on local machine with wamp server installed.
Here are the steps involved to upgrade:
Export Current Database (Imported it in gzipped format with option "Disable foreign key checks" checked). As I was unable to export it in normal sql formate due to large size of database.
Created new database and imported the Database exported.
Downloaded fresh 1.7 stable version from magentocommerce.com
Tried to install this fresh magento 1.7 in newly created Database, in which exported database was recently imported.
Next steps were to install theme, copy extensions and copy media folders.
But when I tried to install magento 1.7, it always give me this error :
"This webpage has a redirect loop
The webpage at http://localhost/magento17/index.php/install/ has resulted in too many redirects. "
Here is the link to which I was following:
Link I followed
Note that my main focus is upgrading from 1.5 to 1.7, so much focus must be on that rather then resolving this issue if it is not the right way to do.
And If there is any better and proven way to upgrade to 1.7 from 1.5, kindly share it.
If you want to upgrade you dont need to install and move DB and theme.
Refer this link.

Note: If you followed best practices in Magento and didn't modify core code then upgrade should run smoothly.
Expected issues are that your Local and Community folder modules might need some fixes.

i have already upgraded my site earlier to Joomla 2.5, but still i am using Joomla1.5 as live site. now i need to fully upgrade but dont want to fully migrate i just need menus and menu items from joomla 1.5 other things are already updated in New Site (Joomla 2.5).
so please tell me the way by which only menu and menu items were migrated i cannot do it manually beacuse they are in thousnds (approx 4000 Menu Items). i have tried by exporting and importing menus databse tables manually, but with no success.
Please advice me
Thanks in Advance
Since you have already done this, you should be familiar with the process of the upgrade/migrate data from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5.
However much of the success of your attempt is depending also on the overall db changes that might have occurred on your current 1.5 live site.
Given that, you might be just good by only migrating the menu-items, but if any other changes occurred in your website, like changing older articles or categories etc (changes that do not exist on the already upgraded 2.5 site), then you might end with a messy database, if you only try to import the menu items.
In this case, you might want to consider to migrate/upgrade the whole database again, and connect your 2.5 website with this database.
But if you are sure that you only need the menu-items, then follow below:
Probably you used one of the available tools JUpgrade or SP Upgrade. I don't know about JUpgrade, but I would recommend to use the SP Upgrade (paid download), which allows migration of selected db tables.
If this is not the option for you, then perform the full database upgrade with your preferred method (as you have already done), in order to create a fresh new 2.5 database (not do this over the current 2.5). Then you can export/import/replace data from the fresh 2.5 to the old one.
Hope this helps a bit...
I have problem with update magento 1.4.2 to 1.7. When I try to use ./pear list-upgrades, I get the message of not having any upgrades at the moment.
Am I missing anything ?
And when reading tutorial on the net, they use ./mage which is a replacement for ./pear, where can I get it and can I use it for the current version of Magento ?
Thanks,
Just install the 1.7.0.2 files on top of the existing install (in a test environment of course). Clear the cache and voila, upgraded.
If you want that Upagrade Magento without problem then It not Possible, I am do this and its work for me
But you can do this for Upgrade Magento 1.4 to 1.7
1) Backup your current Site Files and Database, and Do this on local because when you Upgrade do not reload page before complete all steps
2) Download Newer Version From http://www.magentocommerce.com/download here,
then Extract that zip file in Directory
3) Upload newer Version Files on your Current Site
4) Delete your site cache, Index Management
5) Reload your Current Site, your database upgrade automatically don't anything with Database
now you can see the database vesion at bottom ver 1.7 [what ever you upgrade]
Enjoy!!!
i have magento 1.6.2 running on a dedicated server (ubuntu 10.04 lts)
I have tried various ways to upgrade magento to 1.7.0.2, but with no success.
Now i am thinking of installing a fresh magento 1.7.0.2 and rebuilding the shop.
This way i don't have the litter anymore of old deleted extensions.
But i want all my current data like products, orders, customers, mailinglist etc. imported in my new fresh installation.
How can i do this? Or isn't this a good idea?
I hope someone can help me ...
Try the Magento database repair tool:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/1_-_installation_and_configuration/db-repair-tool
I would install over what you have got after removing tables/keys that don't need to be there. The above tool will enable you to identify what is to be deleted. It will also give you confidence in your db build.
Not upgrading to latest version rather having a free install is doesn't seem to be a good idea because you can import all the products & Customers but there is no direct way to import the orders and other information on the fresh Installation.
I would personally suggest that you should once more try to upgrade to the latest version as I have upgraded several projects from Magento ver 1.6.2 to the latest and no such big issue occurred while upgrading.
Basic things you just need to keep in mind like keeping the back-up before upgrade and all..
Use the latest connect20 key for the upgrade i.e.
http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Mage_All_Latest
Hope this helps or you can tell the errors that you are facing during the upgrade.
I have found it ...
A new installation will work in the following way ...
copy your db-base
copy your media folder to a new folder
than copy the fresh files downloaded from magento OS commerce to the server
install magento and fill in your db base credentials from point 1 ...
now you have a fresh installation, but with all your data (orders, customers, products, newsletters etc.)
I'm trying to upgrade Joomla Version 1.5.20 to Joomla Version 2.5.4.
I've upgraded other CMS's in the past, but Joomla seems to be a little different. Does anyone have any advice as to the best way to upgrade?
So far I've:
Downloaded the entire site
Exported the database via phpMyAdmin
I've installed MAMP and Joomla locally and I'm trying to replicate their site on my machine in attempt to upgrade locally before doing it live. I've loaded the template, but haven't been able to load the content yet.
There seems to be a lot of versions between 1.5.20 and 2.5.4, and it's making me a bit nervous.
You can't directly upgrade from a Joomla! 1.5.x version to the 2.5.x line, it's a migration.
As the 2.5 line is a big change to Joomla! you will have to find 2.5 versions of:
the template you're using
any custom extensions (ie. components, plug-ins, modules etc)
Version 2.5 has new technical requirements so you will need to check that your server meets those.
Once you've got all that resolved.
First thing you should do is upgrade a backup of your 1.5.x site to the latest version ie. 1.5.26 as it fixes some security issues, and the recent versions included 1 or 2 bugs that help with the migration.
Once you have that working you will need to use a migration tool as discussed in this document. Please note that while this document references JUpgrade, you would probably be better off looking at one of the other conversion tools, especially the commercial products (which aren't expensive at all).
We're about half way through migrating over 200 client websites and while we started out with the free 'recommended' component we now use the commercial SP Upgrade (I have no affiliation with this product other than purchasing it and using it happily).
To upgrade joomla the plugin JUpgrade is one of the options. its quite easy tool.
updation can only required some clicks.
Here is steps.
Step 1
The very first thing you need to do is update your Joomla 1.5 website to the latest security update (1.5.25 at the time of writing). Click here for the tutorial on how to update your site.
Step 2
create a backup of your website.
Step 3
We are going to use jUpgrade to migrate our website. You can download jUpgrade from above link.
Step 4
Once you have downloaded jUpgrade, install it in existing joomla using the extension manager (Extensions -> Install / Uninstall).
Make sure that you have loggedin with Super Administrator. ( It required super administrator rights to migrate database and media.)
Step 5
You need to enable the System - Mootools Upgrade plugin before you can use jUpgrade so navigate to extensions then plugin manager, do a search for the plugin and enable it. (Extensions -> Plugin Manager)
Step 6
Click on Start Upgrade, It will now upgrading automatically as below till completion Popup.
Now click on administrator, you will see Joomla newer version Login page and make sure that all content transferred successfully ( It will transfer only contents that will supported in new Joomla version)
JUpgrade will create new directory. Download & install Joomla newer version to new directory and transfer media and contents in newer one.

it was not displaying map. but the outer structure and fields are coming
Please help us to resolve this issue
Contact Unirgy (the maker of the extension) and ask if they are going to update it to work with recent versions. Perhaps you can persuade them to.
