I have a client running an old version of magento. It appears that there is no session_save in the local.xml, like in newer versions of magento. Any idea where to change this setting in the older version of magento: The version is 1.1.4
Thanks!
Write your own session handler for that Magento version. This feature appeared in 1.3 I guess, because of customer's load balancers...

I am trying to upgrade Magento version 1.4.1 to 1.9 with the stranded process.
1) Clean all your log tables. This will increase the speed of your upgrade
2) Get current database dump of your website.
3) Setup a local environment and restore you CE-1.4 database to a newly created database
4) Create you local.xml on your new CE 1.9 environment.
5) Start the upgrade process by either opening your site in your browser
but I am getting foreign key constraint error in customer and catalog tables during the database upgrade.
Can anyone help me to fix this issue? or any other best way to upgrade the magento version?
I believe the problem is that making such a large leap in versions is not possible in one upgrade.
The answer here has info relevant to upgrading from 1.4.1.1: How to upgrade magento 1.4 1.1 to 1.7.0.2
Specifically:
Database structure has major changes from 1.4.1.1 to 1.4.2 so you need
to upgrade first to 1.4.2 then you can upgrade to 1.7.0.2 directly.
I think your best option is to upgrade in smaller steps until you get where you want to be. The last such upgrade I did included the following steps:
1.3.2.4
1.4.2.0
1.7.2.0
1.8.1.0
1.8 was the goal, but I had to get to 1.4.2.0 and then 1.7.2.0 before I could proceed.
My git log also shows that some additional code patches were required after upgrading to 1.4.2.0. You could probably find more detailed answers if you search for info on upgrading to that specific version.
Great solution provided by BonnevillSlim. Thanks!
I have followed the these steps 1.4.1 > 1.4.2 > 1.6.2 > 1.9.2 .
During the up-gradation I have got an error QLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry '0-98' for key 'UNQ_BY_CUSTOMER' .
To resolve this error I have follow this post link
i wasn't getting any updates notifications of joomla update as my current version is 2.5.x and i want to update to 3.x at least. But after doing purge cache action as according to this solution states.
But after this i get to see this (How can this say the lower version to new version?)
Is there any other way i can get to notify to update to joomla version 3.x ?
Go to options of the Joomla update manager and switch from Long Term Support to Short Term Support.
This way you can update Joomla 2.5.x only to Joomla 2.5.28 (which is the last release of 2.5 series). If you want to have Joomla 3, then you must do a migration, like that: https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_2.5_to_3.x_Step_by_Step_Migration
If you want to upgrade your Joomla to latest version then Just Go to Extension manager and install the following stable package.
Download Joomla Update package
I want to upgrade my magento v1.8 to magento v1.9.I put backup of my files and database. then install a new magento v1.9 and replaced my 1.8 data to 1.9 as well as database tables also. But it is showing error and site is not at all opening and database tables are also not upgrading as well.
I am facing a lot of problems to upgrade magento 1.8 to 1.9. I checked all stuffs but didn't find any clue for upgrading 1.8 to 1.9.
If anyone knows this,please help me out.
Thanks!
I had a similar problem on running from a backup.. Did you drop all data from the tables before you run the restore?... If not it can cause a similar problem ?
There might also be database structure differences?.. between the 2 versions.. That would be extra mean by Magento tho.
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 a Magento store running on 1.3.2.4 and the client wants to give the site a facelift. Would it be better to stay with the current version and just modify the current version or should I migrate to a newer version?
Additionally, is it possible to backup the existing store on ver. 1.3.2.4 and just do a fresh install of a newer version and restore?
Upgrading from 1.3.x to 1.6.x will not be as straight forward as you may think.
My suggestion is to setup a copy of your existing site, and attempt the upgrade BEFORE a redesign. Unless your client is okay with staying with the same version of Magento.
You can also create a copy of the database and upload the latest version of Magento, you'll then need to copy over your app/etc/local.xml file from your installation and modify it to use your duplicate database.

Modify the current version unless your client can pay you to perform the upgrade.
Additionally, is it possible to backup the existing store on ver. 1.3.2.4 and just do a fresh install of a newer version and restore?
Of course.
A bunch of stuff changed in 1.4 with regards to the layout/design system. We had to change several things to get the update right so I'd suggest you upgrade first.
