Solved: Clean install 1.5.6.1. with old database
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2014 6:07 pm
Hi.
I have so many modules installed and the site has become slow, so I want to start fresh. Obviously not loosing all the content, images and customer data.
So I thought I'd give 1.5.6.1 a shot and do a fresh install of it. (I'm currently on 1.5.5.1)
To be sure not to break the live one, I want to do the new setup with a new theme and only the filet of modules, a cache speeding up module (which one, any suggestions?) and possibly also doing away with some of the easy to delete demo files, to have a lean new, fast shop. Then, when it's all working again, put it back into my regular domain.
I have a rough idea. I have managed to set up a store and it's going well for a while now, but this endeavour is a little tricky, because I already have a store running now and I want only a short down time, of course.
What I have only found, is to migrate a whole shop as it is, or to start from scratch, or to upgrade a store with a new oc version. What I want is a new skeleton with all of the data in it, then beef it up bit by bit with the right modules in a more civilised manner than I did when I started a year ago.
Any link to a kind of road map or check list would be great.
Thanks.
